Eminem has confirmed that his ‘brush’ with Bruno at the MTV Movie Awards was completely rehearsed and that he found it all funny.

After loads of speculation about whether the rapper was actually annoyed about getting the Austrian’s bum in his face Em’ has set the record straight.

He told Rapradar.com that he’d spoken to Bruno’s creator in advance.

He said: “Sacha (Baron Cohen) called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag.”

"I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going nuts, so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it."

After faking his anger Slim Shady said he then went to his hotel room and: "laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air.”

So did we!
