Russell Brand to be cartooned for the Simpsons

We’re interested to see what Russell will look like yellow…

The comedian was down at Tower Bridge yesterday doing promo for his new film Get Him To The Greek with Jonah Hill. Whilst he was there, he told of his excitement over becoming a character on the Simpsons.

Russell said, “It’s true I’m going to be in The Simpsons. I was having an amazing birthday party and found out I was going into space. Then my agent says, ‘Oh, The Simpsons want you in an episode.’

“Once you’ve gone yellow, you’ve made it.

“My ideal show would be where I have a cartoon relapse with Barney and Homer and get smashed out of my mind with them.”

Although he was surrounded by scantily-clad ladies, apparently Russell didn’t blink an eye, and instead spoke about his wife-to-be.

“I’m really, really in love. At the beginning of a relationship it’s exciting and kind of volatile. Now it’s like she’s a friend, supportive and really lovely, so I’m completely happy with that.

“Work’s going really well, too. We’ve got another massive movie away and I’m excited about the Arthur remake. Things are great.”

All together now…. awww!
