With reports of Russell Brand expressing his desires to work with Zooey Deschanel on a comedic piece of work, many are assuming he is still not over his ex-wife Katy Perry.

This is of course with Deschanel having been noticeably a complete look-a-like of the 'Peacock' pop singer. Could the 'New Girl' star's recent divorce from 'Death Cab for Cutie' front man, Ben Gibbard, a coincidence as well?

The 36-year-old Brand finds Zooey as 'hilarious and cute,' according to reports. Zooey on the other hand has always been flattered to be compared with the pop star, Katy Perry. As stated by a source in Closer Magazine, the actor/comedian/writer loves the actress' odd sense of humour and that there could be a certain spark somewhere.

To add on, Russell also admits to be a fan of Zooey and that he would love to get the chance to work with the actress in the near future. S

ome sources say that the actress herself is intrigued with the idea and thinks that it would be funny if she would be seen by the recently divorced Brand. She thinks it would probably make those who would see them together that Katy and Russell has reconciled.

There are rumours that Russell is set to be on Saturday Night Live and to explore the possibility of doing a sketch with Deschanel. Another insider said that the idea of this could be way too soon especially with the breakup news of Perry and Brand is still pretty much the talk of the town.

Besides, Zooey is still unsure of agreeing to meet up with Brand as she is still in her own process of moving on from her split with her ex-hubby Ben Gibbard, the frontman of the band Death Cab for Cutie.
