England's #1 Rascal Eyeing Rascaly Lead in Arthur Remake

Russell Brand continues to take Hollywood by storm!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he may star in the remake of the 1981 flick, Arthur, for Warner Brothers.

The original movie starred dearly departed English funny man Dudley Moore as a boozy playboy rascal who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. However, he falls in love with a working-class woman and turns to his valet for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.

Boozy, playboy, rascal.

This part has Russell written all over it!

Moore earned an Oscar nod for his role in the original Arthur.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Russ was able to pull off the same?!
