Before he began a relationship with pop star Katy Perry, Russell Brand had a reputation as a ladies man. Not anymore.

The English comedian and his 25-year-old girlfriend have barely left each other's side since getting together at the VMA awards earlier this year.

And as they locked lips in the front seat of a car in Los Angeles this week the couple highlighted just how passionate they are about each other.

Russell's newest love affair seems to have made a real impact on his outlook, a fact he paid testament to in a recent interview.

"I am living in a different way at the moment," the 34-year-old Forgetting Sarah Marshall star told the Sunday Times.

"Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years."
