"Russell Brand has revealed that he has a crush on Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables star Samantha Barks. The comedian described the actress as a &amp;quot;bedimpled angel&amp;quot; after meeting her at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in Los Angeles.   &amp;quot;So many ladies caught my eye; it was like an assault on the senses,&amp;quot; he told The Mirror. &amp;quot;But I like that girl from Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables, Samantha. We chatted and she&amp;#039;s from the Isle of Man. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;She&amp;#039;s like a bedimpled, little Manx angel. She was a lovely, beautiful young woman.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Brand also spoke about his current relationship status, stating that he aims not to be as forward about looking for women from now on. He said: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m single at the moment actually and enjoying it. I&amp;#039;m trying not to roam the streets any more like the Terminator with a laser-sighted penis. &amp;quot;I suppose I&amp;#039;m concentrating on work now and not especially looking for anyone.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Photo gallery - Oscars Vanity Fair party:  The former drug addict and alcoholic added that he only regrets being clean for ten years when he attends big events such as the Academy Awards. He said: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;I think those kinds of social situations are designed for people who have got some kind of artificial stimulant inside of them. Sometimes you do fancy a drink and can see why it&amp;#039;s necessary. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;In a way it&amp;#039;s a bit like a work do - it&amp;#039;s not that different from the average Christmas party.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Brand swore while speaking about addiction issues on This Morning yesterday (March 5). Barks is reportedly dating This Morning presenter Matt Johnson, having previously been linked with Russell Crowe. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
