The 37-year-old comedian, who was previously married to pop star Katy Perry, spent most of the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party in Los Angeles flirting with Barks, reported Daily Mirror.
"So many ladies caught my eye; it was like an assault on the senses. But I like that girl from 'Les Miserables', Samantha. We chatted and she's from the Isle of Man. She's like a bedimpled, little Manx angel. She was a lovely, beautiful young woman," Brand said.
However, Brand wants to shed his reputation for womanising after being linked to a string of women including Geri Halliwell in the wake of his marital breakdown, and is trying not to be quite so forward any more.
