He exudes everything the Americans love about Brits - refined, charming, educated, well-spoken. We will give our best offer, and then some, to get him."Serial lothario Russell - who confirmed last week he will play the womanising title character in the new version of the popular 80s movie - recently claimed he wants movie producers to allow 63-year-old Liza Minelli to reprise her role as Arthur's love interest.He quipped: "If it ain't broke don't fix it, that's my motto. Liza should come back."
