Russell Brand was being honored over the weekend. No, he didn’t quite win an Academy Award not yet anyway but he was honored at the Variety’s Power of Comedy event!

Although his wife, Katy Perry couldn’t make it at the event but there was another very special woman on hand to present Russell’s award: Helen Mirren!

Helen and Russell have worked together on two movies and she has nothing but good things to say about the funnyman.

“He’s the best, kindest and goodest bad boy you’re ever going to be lucky enough to meet,” Helen told the crowd at Club Nokia.

Russell was definitely a bad### during his acceptance speech.

Brand talked about being arrested 12 times and his days as a sex and drug addict. “In them days, I could have laid waste to this room,” he told the audience, before mimicking a fan. ‘Can I get an autograph?’ Yes! On the wall of your uterus.”

“I think this [award] might be a loophole for touching women’s tits,” he joked, “Free breast exams outside!”

Anyone seen “Get Him to The Greek?”
