Seconds after we meet the 35-year-old in the lobby of his New York City hotel, he leans in for a hug and a kiss\u2026and then puts his arm around our shoulder and leads us up to his suite for a quick shag before the paparazzi can spot us. Sigh\u2014in our dreams. The guy is hopelessly in love with his new wife, two-time Cosmo cover girl Katy Perry. We did go to his room, but it was to chat with him about being our Fun Fearless Male of the Year. On the elevator ride up, Russell, who's dressed in tight black jeans and a gray sweater, explains his touchy-feely demeanor. \"I think people like to be touched. They like that connection, and I'm happy to give it to them,\" he says. Of course, what woman wouldn't want to be felt up, even if it's platonically, by Brand? He is hilarious, has gorgeous brown eyes, and\u2014having won the battle against drug and sex addiction\u2014 is the epitome of resilience. Oh, and he has a career that's on fire right now. He got our attention in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek. And this past December, he impressed us with his Shakespeare skills in The Tempest. This year, he has two cool flicks coming out: Arthur (a remake of the '80s comedy) and Hop (he voices the Easter Bunny). And he just released his second book, My Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal. We can't think of anyone more fun and fearless than Russell. Cosmo:  What's the most fearless move you've ever made? Russell Brand: I have to say getting married. It's pretty wild that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Katy. What about the most fun thing? Getting married! It was quite fun. So are you afraid of anything? Death. I won't be able to walk around in my shoes and be near the people I love. I have a hunch that there's some sort of existence after you die, but I have no idea what that is. You tell very personal stories in your books. Do you ever filter? A bit. My mates read the manu- script first and make sure there's noth- ing stupid or self-destructive in it. My mate Nick is in the books a lot and often says \"Fucking hell, that's not normal. Don't say that stuff!\" What do you find sexy? Confidence and vulnerability. It comes down to being true to who you are and not being imitative. Though women riddled in self-hatred and madness give good blow jobs. Does that mean women with confidence give terrible blow jobs? No, it doesn't necessarily follow. I am being humorous, of course. It's best for women to have self-esteem. Have you ever done anything crazy to win over a woman? Once, I hung off the side of a cruise ship just to get a kiss. Keep in mind that I was still a junkie at this point. What's something you don't understand about women? Well, when you come to us with a problem, you just want to talk about it. For me, a problem is a job. I want to solve it right then. But you just want to talk about it. I often have to push my fingernails into the palm of my hand to stop myself from reacting. What can a woman wear to turn you on? I'm not a sophisticated man. I'm from blue-collar ethics, a simpleton of sexual semiotics. If a woman wears gaudy lingerie, I love it. Short skirts, thigh-high boots, cutout tops.\u2026 What made you fall for Katy? ell, she threw a bottle at my head when we first met, and she's been doing that in some form or another ever since. The woman I fell in love with is constantly evolving and changing. She's loving and a beautiful person. \n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nHow's married life treating you?  It's amazing! Once you've said those things about commitment, you think, Well, it doesn't matter if we have some disagreement about what should go where in the fridge. You're married now, so you'll just have to deal."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
