Rose Byrne has spoken about working with Russell Brand, saying that it was a "challenge".

The Australian actress, who starred alongside Brand as his girlfriend in 'Get Him to the Greek', is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying that the actor and comedian's reputation preceded him.

She said: "Working with Russell Brand was a challenge – obviously his reputation precedes him. You never know how he’s going to be, and you’re working with someone who’s had many colourful ‘incidents’.

"Thankfully he’s got an off switch, so when we were working there was some laughter, especially during the improvisation, but he was pretty focused. Yes, he’s eccentric, but I would work with him again in a heartbeat. He has lovely people around him too, a great team, which I think says a lot about a person."
