Russell Brand happy with monogamy

Russell Brand wouldn't advocate monogamy.

The 34-year-old comedian - who is engaged to Katy Perry - was previously known for his womanising ways, and though he insists he has settled down, he doesn't believe a life of domesticity is for everyone.

He said: "Do I advocate monogamy? I mean, personally, my life is different, but I wouldn't advocate anything.

"I think everyone should just do what's right for them at that time. For me now, monogamy is what's happening."

The 'Get Him to the Greek' star also spoke of his excitement at the prospect of starting a family with his fiancee, though he worries fatherhood would change his personality.

He told Britain's Hello! magazine: "I hope I'd make a good dad. I would like that, although sometimes I worry that if you have children you'll be compromised in that you might lose your social ethics and become genetically predisposed to protect that child."

Russell insists he has now curbed his previous wild behaviour, but feels trouble is always "lurking" around him somewhere.

He added: "Trouble is always lurking. You just take one day at a time. There'll always be something, stuff will happen.

"Before I was so complicit in its manufacture. Now, at least, I'm not creating it directly. I feel that if you want to change things, if you want to do things that are innovative, then you will create friction, and I do want to do that.

"I must accept the inevitable consequences of that, so I know there'll be more."
