Russell Brand is set to play a "sexy hippie" in his upcoming film 'The President Stole My Girlfriend'.

The British comedy actor will produce and star in the President comedy, which has been written by Matt Portenoy, which was option by his company Branded Films.

Warner Bros. is working on the film, which Brand - who is married to pop star Katy Perry - jokes was inspired by a meeting he had with the studio's president.

"In this movie, the president steals the girlfriend of a sexy hippie - me, obviously," Contactmusic quoted him as telling The Hollywood Reporter.

"It was inspired by the night I naively invited Warners president Jeff Robinov for dinner," he added.
