Victoria Beckham is said to have found an unlikely new fashion icon in the form of grungy, rock and roll, former sex addict Russell Brand - who is famed for his skin-tight black jeans and wild hair.

Victoria, 37 - who has four children with her footballer husband David - apparently likes his look so much that she has used it as an inspiration for her menswear line.

A source told Now Magazine: "She loves his unique fashion sense and she's letting his style influence her designs."

And it seems the feeling is mutual - Russell Brand is a fan of the Beckhams and has said: "I once met David Beckham in LA and it was lovely! I was a little bit starstruck. I think he is just really handsome. So handsome. I was like, 'Oh, oh, hello'."

Meanwhile Russell has gone back to his roots and performed a stand-up gig in Los Angeles.

According to the Daily Mirror, he told the crowd last night (07.02.12): "All I want is for people to feel better than they do now. That's all I want.

"All I want is to make people laugh and to make people happy. And as long as I stay in alignment with that, then I'm served by great forces."

We wonder if Victoria Beckham will be weaving his life philosoph into the men's line as well?
