Russell Brand's womanizing ways put off Kristen Bell

Washington(ANI): Hollywood actress Kristen Bell has revealed that she was attracted to British comic Russell Brand when she first saw him - but was soon put off when she found out he had a colourful past with ladies.

"I did a screen test with Russell before we shot Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I took one look at him and thought, 'He looks great". His trousers were tighter than mine and his jewellery was clanking all over the place, but he did his lines and just blew us all away," Contactmusic quoted Bell, as saying.

However, Bell added that she stopped fancying him, as he seemed to be pretty high maintenance and always poked fun at her. "I had no idea who he was until I Googled him and saw what a little stinker he is with the ladies. He kept reminding us every 10 minutes of how famous he is in Britain by going, 'It"s so weird not to be recognized here"," she said.

"He didn"t fancy me at all and in fact went out of his way to tell me how grotesque I was. And I certainly didn"t fancy him because he"s so high-maintenance - he took longer in make-up than I did," Bell added.
