Russell Brand was accidentally set on fire on the set of his new movie Get Him To The Greek.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star reprises his role as hellraising rock star Aldous Snow in the comedy, which also stars Jonah Hill and Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
During one scene Brand was lucky to escape unscathed after sparks ignited his costume onset.
He reveals, "I got set on fire once. There’s a bit in the movie where I do a concert, and there’s a wall of sparks raining down from the heavens.
"And it caught me on fire. I stood in the wrong place; I caught on fire for a little. That was a bad bit."
Get Him To The Greek is Brand's first movie since Bedtime Stories back in 2008 and kicks off a busy year for the actor.
He is also set to star in The Tempest alongside Helen Mirren, David Strathairn, Djimon Hounsou, Alan Cumming and Alfred Molina.
He has also lent his voice to animation movie Despicable Me with Drop Dead Fred and Arthur in the pipeline.
