Russell Brand has been spotted prancing around New York in his underwear as he films Arthur.

While he’s been shooting his new film Arthur, Russell Brand has been spotted gallivanting around New York in a variety of bizarre costumes – including a top hat, and at one point a Batman costume.

But in his latest “hilarious” stunt for the film the comedian stripped down to nothing but his underwear and a pair of fetching black socks yesterday as he shot yet more no-doubt side-splitting scenes in Manhattan.

We remember him having more hair than that though…
