Hollywood actor Adam Sandler is jealous of Russell Brand after the British funnyman scored better than him in test screenings of their new film.

The comic pair star in upcoming Disney movie Bedtime Stories, and Sandler was delighted to discover that audiences previewing the picture had given him a 91 per cent approval rating. However the Big Daddy star subsequently found out his co-star had beaten him with a score of 96 per cent, and he is blown away by how popular Brand has become with U.S. audiences.

He says, "I got this high score and I was high-fiving my friends and then I saw Russell's score and I was like 'how dare he pass Adam Sandler'. The children of America have embraced the long and lean and handsome Russell Brand."

Bedtime Stories is out in cinemas later this month.
