Those notorious rascals Charlie Sheen and Russell Brand share more than just mutual admiration. On Monday, while being honored at Cosmopolitan’s Fun Fearless Male Awards in New York, Brand said, ‘I love Charlie Sheen. He’s a good bloke.’

Charlie Sheen certainly hearts Brand too. He told Britain’s Sun that Brand is a ‘mad genius,’ adding, ‘He’s a gift to all things galactic and extragalactic. He’s got liquid magic. You don’t speak to him. You just absorb him. He really doesn’t care what people think, but they think he’s awesome and they’re right. He’s awesome every second of every day because he’s a winner.’

Sheen confessed that he was tempted to ‘hijack’ Brand’s recent stint on ‘Saturday Night Live’ but was dissuaded by his advisors. Brand says he believes Sheen wasn’t bluffing.
