For those familiar with the trailers and TV spots for "Arthur" — the Russell Brand-starring remake of the '80s classic in which a hapless, immature billionaire is faced with losing his inheritance if he marries the wrong woman — the biggest surprise isn't necessarily the fact that the Hobson character is now a female nanny instead of a butler, but the fact that Oscar-winner Helen Mirren plays the part.
When MTV News caught up with the predictably unpredictable Brand and Mirren during the press day for the film, we asked them what the esteemed Dame would be like as a nanny.
