Russell Brand has refused to comment on suggestions he could mount a bid to become Mayor of London.
Brand, who previously described voting as a waste of time, has told close friends he wants to succeed Boris Johnson in 2016, according to the Mail on Sunday.
He is apparently considering standing on an independent "anti-politics" ticket.
A spokeswoman for the comic and actor said: "We are not commenting."

He admits he "can't get my head around economics", declares his support for "collectives", and wants to ban fracking and the monarchy.
