Russell Brand is planning to have a skull and crossbones tattooed on his nipples.

The British comic star is so excited by rumours he may appear alongside Johnny Depp in the next 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie that he wants to pay tribute to the hit adventure franchise.

Russell said: "I've seen some talk about that 'Pirates of the Caribbean', but I think they're still writing the script. Nonetheless, I am having a skull and crossbones tattooed on each of my nipples in anticipation of the plotline. I just hope it doesn't affect my other work in Jane Austen adaptations."

The 33-year-old funnyman also revealed he is keen to work with legendary director Woody Allen and American adult movie star Gianna Michaels - who is famous for her enormous breasts.

Russell added to MTV.com: "I'd like to meet Woody Allen. I'd like to work with him, because I understand that he ignores you through the whole process. That would be fun. And I'm very keen to meet the actress Gianna Michaels.

"She can only be described as an adult-film actress. I urge you to look at the work of Gianna Michaels. I would be very interested in working with her in any capacity. She's a very gifted woman."
