Piers Morgan's Life Stories - Russell Brand

Russell Brand is indisputably now a nele star and what a journey he's had from drug-addict to Hollywood superstar that's why and I intend to ask him how he's done it Piers Morgan seems a pleasant kind of a chat Arsenal fan relatively till it's really a question of what you don't ask it because he's done just about every single thing any human being could possibly do in their lives he's been up and down more times at a hyperactive yo-yo Helia you're a happily married man to the delightful Katy Perry yeah also light settling down being calm not being this rampant lothario it doesn't feel like settling down because like it's still very very active and a lot to do right because my wife she's like I thought women was difficult to deal with until I tried dealing with woman till is only one and then you've got to do that you've got negotiate what that one specifically wants they changed that and she's quite feisty your wife she's really spirit each human being she's incredibly like so beautiful and smart I like it because yeah I did it it's very very engaging and diverting and I have to focus and concentrate they change moods tell you what to wear it's not what I feel better if you found married life be honest well it's difficult to get used to one person like you have to live in the same house of them every day they've got the same right over the stuff is you life like say she leaves stuff on the ground I just got to live with that and like any file if stuff on the floor I have to pick it up that's confusing but I imagine you're implying they're changing activity physical wise if you want to go there yes no that's Lenny um ask if you're two two huge stars so you've got huge pressures on your time so I have no idea how much time you actually get together how much time must be spent together quite a lot actually I prefer today and then like I see you again tonight and then we're off for a couple of days together I see you quite a lot all the time when you're married to some and that's it you've got a like it or lump yeah they're always around you this is in the kitchen there was a report you've seen marriage counselors is that true no I thought it went a lot of this stuff I don't know where it comes from peers like I've stopped reading stuff in the papers I've don't even Google my own name and that was my favorite hobby gone forever right now thank do it in the year to May 2006 you were mentioned 75 times in the UK national press you then doesn't seem like enough to happen it wasn't good then you began a hot little romance with a certain supermodel Kate Moss the following year you were mentioned 1860 times well it's difficult to argue with a statistic I didn't know the rules have been famous yet so like to have a chance to go so you're gonna have Kate Moss on yeah she's amazing excited like he's like going out the best looking girl at school yeah so I didn't know how to do with it but then you quickly learn like when you're talking to the press just go no comment no I don't know like don't give them anything you can't because otherwise they'll tack you up with it I thought that this would give us excuse to go through some of the more outlandish stories about you at the time I just work out of any of these in the last few years are actually true during the 2002 May Day protests did you strip naked in Piccadilly Circus yeah that was a mistake you've got a no appears I was totally you must know this for a number of reasons I was on like then remember I was a drug addict so now I'm not using it as an excuse for everything I'm just using it as an excuse for this a lot of drugs I wasn't thinking straight I was showing off no they make it go daft crack heroin you make terrible decisions and I was showing off in the middle of Piccadilly Circus by the statue of Eros took my trousers and pants down all in front of the police and what can I just say even those made the first it was very very cold that day while flying to America the treatment for your sex addiction did you chat up the air hostesses on the plane yeah the fours is my last chance unless I get a really pretty cab driver Russell there was to be one story that rocketed you into a whole other realm of Fame stroke infamy Russell Brand has had an extraordinary rise to fame from unemployable junkie to one of the most famous faces in Britain he's a rock and roll comedian easily he lives very very fast across these rooms he'll push these rumors Abbas chipping fair I never have a tripping fair that Russell did actually say to me once that if I don't get famous I will kill myself to be famous I think means everything to be cunning quite quite open about I kind of like it because it gets me in places for free and all that but he [ __ ] loves it with his striking good looks and outrageous dress sense he's hard to ignore I seen him once he had three belts on who wears three belts I think he's about 14 and he loved Oscar Wilde actually I think he was younger and he I saw a page li dressing-gown so he could look like Oscar Wilde which this is when I really knew it's a bit different the motormouth comedian has shopped and entertained with his antics I think for Russell the worst case scenario is not being bad I think the worst case scenario is being ignored I know America to be a forward-thinking country right because otherwise you know would you have leather cowboy fella be present for eight years but for many rustlers most famous for a radio broadcast which nearly ruined his career and changed at BBC forever Russell Brand's resignation came just hours after the BBC took him and Jonathan Ross off the air there had been a running joke on the show that Russell had slept with Andrew sexes granddaughter this running joke was just getting bigger and bigger and bigger and so now we're gonna be calling up Andrew Sachs so this is gonna be absolutely hilarious because the audience know the joke it's gonna be the elephant in the room it never gets mentioned as you're speaking to Andrew Sachs this is gonna be really funny and ng sags and you said didn't answer the phone so it went straight to voicemail then Andrew Sachs don't call him an well that's abuse echo I apologize you say he's an idiot look Andrew Sachs I've got respect for you and your lineage and progeny to never let down a question to hint because you know it was then suggested that Russell had had sex with Andrew Sachs his granddaughter at this point I was probably stood up uh with my mouth as far up in as it could be Russell's initial intention was will call Andrew Sachs back to apologize and that is exactly what he did but Russell being Russell decided to turn it into a song I'd like to apologize for these terrible attacks Andrew sighs I mean he sings a song in apology to Andrew Sachs here in which he rhymes consensual and menstrual challenge anyone to come up with that rhyme in ad-lib it's unbelievable I'm not saying it wasn't totally idiotic well they did and boys when they're together can be really really stupid and they were incredibly stupid I still to this day find it absolutely amazing because there must have been hundreds of thousands of things going on in the world dreadful things and Russell and Jonathan were making headline news day after day people go upset that you know they rang up the grandfather of the girl and expose the girl that was bad so obviously a huge scandal let's cut to the quick I mean who made that decision to leave the arts and machine messages in the program me are you just taking the rap cuz it's easier well no cause really if it's the Russell Brand radio show I'm Russell Brand you know so it's my responsibility so yeah completely and the people that worked with me they was dedicated to making me happy and they were dedicated to fulfilling what I wanted to happen so if I thought that something was funny and fort Assange should be left in a show they would do it it's completely my responsibility do you still find it funny no it was wrong to do that I realize now that like my mate Matt put it best you guys I know in your head when you left that phone call you was leaving it for a bloke in a white jacket holding a try going kid like that and that is what it was I just thought it's man well from what I didn't think I'll Andrew Sachs is a person with concerns and stuff like that which I've got caught up we just got caught up in the moment so just showing off trying I mean pilato you take responsibility it was Jonathan that said the line that really calls the offence it was him that shouted out on the arse mushy message you know Russell Brand slept with your granddaughter and he used it he used an F word to describe that it was that the shocked people really wasn't it I don't know what shocks ever people peers I can only take responsibility for my role in a situation clearly people were very disappointed in both of us when he was at his absolute firestorm this did any part of you think your career might be over well at the time I was much more concerned by how the situation was being perceived and how all-encompassing it was um well I to be honest and I hope this doesn't in any way sound impolite or in any way Cavalier but I knew that I was doing I was off to do a film with Helen Mirren like like a couple of days later and I knew I had another film so that I knew that I was doing sort of different things I thought that perhaps my radio career a struggle to continue or in it and I thought there was little chance of me being cast in a Fawlty Towers remake but I did feel that I thought if I carry on working and if I am genuinely sorry which I am and I think eventually are probably that people will forgive me I hope Sykes gate wasn't the only controversy he went through that year months before you'd actually got into huge trouble mtv walls by calling president george w bush a [ __ ] cowboy no it was a good joke it went like a geyser like it goes um you know cuz I was this what I thought are these people are watching MTV so they're bound to be sort of liberal cool people I fall I misjudge that again I shouldn't be allowed to make my own decisions coming rapidly a bottle they'll be everyone here they're not gonna want george w bush all that craziness they don't want him being in charge they'll want barack obama as yet weren't currently the president of america so i thought well i'll stick up for that barack obama get everyone on site that's what I thought I was doing so what goes uh-oh I know that you're next we know people say that America's not ready for a black president but I know America to be a free-thinking forward-thinking liberal country after all you've had that [ __ ] cowboy feather in the White House for eight years I thought that's like a musical funny joke right then no one laughed what did you think in that moment I thought is this thing on oh I seem to have misjudged the political sensibilities of this nation but I put it in a much shorter words oh oh no [ __ ] what do you think when you look at that [ __ ] I think are you poor little sod see that Cubs uniform not one badge if you had gone into rehab what do you think would have happened what chip goes goes if you need to stop taking drugs right now or in six months you'll be in prison of lunatic asylum or dead surprisingly for someone who's so obviously confident now to performer when you grow up in Gray's in Essex you were actually quite a shy boy with me yeah I was shy because I come from a culture where if you're not good at football and or fight in you ain't got much we know that either no hey you I look at that middle at that time I was part of Fight Club Essex I was a pretty tough brawler their knuckles they called me how do you think when you look at that [ __ ] I think are you poor little sod as I said the beginning of me journey look see that Cubs uniform not one badge your mum Barbara and your dad Ron separated when you were only six months old yeah what kind of relationship did you have with your father he was like I thought he was the coolest man the world he's super funny flash loved women I've turned up so Savage did have loads and money be proper flash flash turn up at my school loaded in a booth rustle oh my god this man so cool but then like you blow it and might be living in my name's in bagging them again in the terrace house did he ever tell you that he loved you yeah he was a good like ease and in no way a villain a fella my dad he was really soft he's just like what now as I get older I realizes he didn't have a dad himself he was you know he's dad died when he was a kid so he saw he didn't get a manual you know so I think that he tried his best your mum who you love dealing I've seen you I'll saw you at the Oscars with your mum proudly showing her off that's only till I get an Oscar then I'll show that off when he was seven she was told she had cancer and she then got two more bouts of cancer through your youth what are your memories are they there must have been a particularly scary time for a young Russell because your dad had left and there's your mum who's the rock of your family you must have thought what happens if I lose her - I did think that I was a bit scared I mean when you're sort of 7 I think you sort of you know you're childish quite rightly at 7 so like but I think I was obviously scared and concerned but my mum you know their great job of being strong for me and again when she was 11 when it hit me most was when I was like 16 17 I think that probably made me go a bit loopy and in myself because I thought right this is it it's just me and I probably didn't think I had the right tools to get through life because I was a matter did you have this kind of extraordinary energy when you were young yes I it was a pain in the arse because that energy when your kid just makes you break windows and smash stuff and go loopy but when you help how badly behaved were you well my mum she'll go to the grave thinking I was an angel but like a like but like I was naughty little boy you know but I think cuz I was my mom I says oh he was so sweet though so you'd forgive him you know but I would like I always used to feel like my still now my reaction when someone says don't do that I think why you're glad yourself I can't get past that they're having mistrust a little kind of thing with you things would Russell do and just regular naughty stuff like smashing windows starting fires over the allotments bunking off school shoplifting that kind of a non normal stuff yeah yeah so you wrote a classic rebellious teenager yeah except probably I looked a bit weird if I was casting a classic rebellious teenager for a film I'd go much more Jimmy Dean rather than Roland from Grange Hill when he was 16 you went to the Italia Conti a famous school for young actors how did you change in that period you thing well that I can't tell you what a relief that was so you know say when you grow up in a place you've got a certain reputation right occasionally I'd be popular at school because of being funny and having the guts to say rude things the teachers or whatever people think that's brilliant I was also like a fruitcake so like commit that it would oscillate my popularity when I left that Italia Conti I did a complete character reinvention like so hi I'm spoon to be a completely different blow though there was about this is just my memory I might be exaggerating feels like there's about 400 Birds girls and ten blokes half of whom were gay I was just ridiculous and those girls it was like Tiffany off EastEnders Louise Redknapp her out of eternal Kelly Brian loads of fit birds that went on to be in pop bands and soap operas how many of those watch it look he's never loose today sees me counting women he's on it like a bonnet that would be on gentlemen use you were invited to leave Italia Conti drama school within a year yeah what was that all about well like remember I told you there was only like five lads that weren't gay there like them five lads they were they I just know what couple years older me couple of them from up north cover from East London I thought these were the coolest people we know the first time you leave where you're from and you meet new people and they smoke pot and stuff like oh my god these people are so cool but let me be your friend and they would they realize that I was asset to them because I would do anything to be their friends I was like died buying part and stuff like that and skinning up with them badly and I sort of like that was from that's when I started to take drugs really when I was like that age problem is that why you were thrown out yeah because they said Russell Whitby Nia but they were all Oldham here cuz we've been here a couple of years at this school we've been taking drugs every day we've been here we've had no bother you've had one joint and everyone's right we're having an assembly there's drugs in the school cuz I was wandering around like Jim Morrison with my top well man the bloody system although you were a handful and increasingly unruly for the time being you were still almost employable we're gonna Daly for gun equipped I've got a right to Scylla Serena sure if you think it'll help it was obvious that Russell had a talent for acting the problem was he would often turn up at drama school high on drugs and then his final year was kicked out for the second time he was asked to leave because he was just it was working and used it and it was really upsetting cuz he you know it crushed him and his it was sad to see him kind of walk away but that's when he said let's you know let's write comedy Russell quickly found his true vocation late night comedy he was spotted by mtv executives who gave him his own show dance fraud chart when he said ladies on the door i for interested ladies would you like a lady would you like to touch one sniff one runner top swirlix we we nearer I can always remember being slightly concerned because it was so outrageous I couldn't believe really that they allowed a lot of it to go to go on really Lincoln alone we're dealing with people who are guests sort of on drugs so you can sort of be surreal with them and they'll possibly either appreciate it or it'll be funny watching the whole thing collapse by now Russell Egon from recreational drug use to a serious heroin addiction and was losing all sense of judgment dressing up as Osama bin Laden on September the 12 2001 of all the choices a fancy dress you could ever choose on such a date I would actually think that has to be the worst one it's an absolutely outrageous thing to do and that was the end of his career at MTV I hurt myself today over the next 18 months Russell's life spiraled out of control he became unemployable what have I become but there was one man who'd met Russell and had seen something special I got a phone call from him one day on Thursday morning and he was a very different Russell Brand who's scared and quite sad with all fallen apart and we arranged to me and he told me that he'd been sacked by everybody so I said I would sign it I didn't realize at the time that he was taking heroin and cocaine and bottles of vodka Beck's of Canada's that we do I don't know how he managed to walk around I used to be so frightened that I was going to get a phone call saying you know that something had happened him I loved him so much I just wanted to see him happy I couldn't bear to see how he got so low so depressed and you feel so incredibly helpless there was a side to him that just wasn't at that point just wasn't very nice you know was really selfish and aggressive you he was sort of you know he's an addict and would have done anything to get his high we have a Christmas party of year and it was at that party that my son Nick court Russell taking heroin in the toilet that was the final straw it was obvious to Russell needed help and he agreed to meet a drugs counselor the verdict was damning there's no such thing as an old junkie and I think he you know he was heading in the direction of being really messed up chip said that if he carries on this way he might not be around in six months time so basically got bustle in the corner and said you have to do something if you had gone into rehab what do you think would have happened well like as John and chip said in that in your VT there like that I was like probably six months away from what chip goes guys if you need to stop taking drugs right now or in six months you'll be in prison of lunatic asylum or dead hello you know and that's the first time anyone had said anything like that to me no I still fought rehab that I don't like the sound of that back and that's Oh John right they took me in a room chip took me in a room with like there's people took me in the rooms a lot it was a period of being took in the rooms right was dressing down [ __ ] took me in a room I've just been in a room and all he took me in another one and it goes like Russell needs to go away because he's through lolly he goes to John like you know but he's got a he's got to want to go for himself you know he's got about the thing with drug addiction is the person themselves has to make that choice because he's got to come from within you know and and I goes yeah I don't think I fancy it and John when fought rat you're going see I'll just was packed off why did you get so completely hooked on drugs to things look him back one of my girlfriend says he was like she'd noticed early on when I was like 19 she goes like you want to be careful going out them lads I was hanging out with at my mates we do drugs as well she goes cuz they just wake up the next day and like sort of splash cold water face again with it she goes and you're just like us of a broken bird man you know and I thought for me was it was heavy like I sort of needed it I was looking to solve external problem internal problems externally I approached it like medicine I approached it like it could cure me are you now ashamed of all the drugs you took no not really it was a stupid time but I was the Matt of course I hurt a lot of people I hurt a lot of people around me and I'm embarrassed and sad and I feel sorry that I've done those things was there a moment when you went that's it yeah enough well like yeah I mean so I'm not long after John said you're [ __ ] going like you and John so forced me at this like moment where I just stood for the first time in my life I like just left John's office when I looked down he's like a 1 named lovely winter days we get here in England where the sky is beautiful and clear and it's like trees bare trees like across the sky this wood coal but nice Old English cold and I looked in the sky and the first time I like I suppose you don't have to take drugs every day that's like literally the first time that ever occurred to me cuz I was a little kid then I was a drug addict and then I stopped there was never a transition I went from childhood into drug addiction without stopping to think about whether it was a good idea and I would imagine in your new life as a holly was dummy got a lots of parties there will be drugs around there'll be people taking drugs the offers will come your way again is it is it like the little you know Red Devil on the shoulder because I just straight away except my brother cuz my T's very important part my life and people go our major online or whatever I know you were right thank you the son named you it's prestigious award this shagger of the Year twice three times I'm not complaining about everything was always good you Incas dead is your very flamboyant appearance and particularly your what used to be unfeasibly large hair is now slightly calm down how important was the brand Barnett to you I'm really like very as it is it's a heyday took it too bloody seriously I think I've got really swept up in that I just think that you know what I've got I think in retro styling fingers but I think in retrospect I've not been off drugs that long I was still kind of a nervous guy so I think I just like to think I'll create a bit of an identity for yourself that protects you you know and part of it was that ludicrous haircut and I've oddly thought it looked so cool just for this is such a cool haircut to have I would see my reflection I think there you go looking really cool and now it's like when you look at other people's wedding pictures like your mom's wedding pictures away from also if I'm wearing ties for there's only six months ago he's always been this kind of dandy element your look hasn't there Byron while that kind of but really Byron and wild piers it's like of course that you know because of the nature of the celebrity culture that we now find ourselves in Michigan people say I'll buyer and he looked like a bandy wild dressed crazy they wrote amazing stuff they used language beautifully like Ruby read Oscar what Oscar Wilde what the first time like it was one of those things that people tell you to read and then you read and it's not boring I thought oh my god this is actually funny looking like that for me was incredible read we're not a bit older I learned to appreciate Byron and the deep melancholy and the pay-fors and the passion but first of all I cared about as if stuff was funny so like Oscar Wilde what this bloke was properly hilariously funny and then when you read these children's stories they're so heart fill and beautiful and magical and he died as a result being banged up for a bit of bummy just expressing himself with so many fancy paper where's the justice how calve a knight I don't really like vanity very much but I guess I sort of it when you work in show biz this is something that's a little bit encouraged it's a kind of shallow thing isn't it to be vain so I mean always imagine that you take a lot of time and trouble over your appearance well I try not to take it too bloody seriously but you know so who takes longer in the bathroom you're Katy oh really unbelievable I've no idea what went on I won't normally around for that bit so muscle usually don't really care that much about your looks but whatever you do do it works Thanks after rehab Russell was slowly rebuilding his career when the chance came up to host a live TV show so this is Big Brothers Big Mouth telephone we're very concerned about taking him on I thought you might do something like flushes penis or so [ __ ] at the wrong time you know oh oh loud then my willy Thunderbird and the plane crashed I feel like a right hit we gave them certain assurances that he would be fine and if he wasn't he'd pay the fees back good news everyone my ball bags have been given a record deal as part of a new boy band why don't you take a risk on someone who their life might not be in the best place but you can feel and see their talent and ability and that's what you do in television you make those choices and you take risks the risks paid off Russell proved a huge hit with the viewers I'm not sure why I'm really watching that program by anyway Ani calms me and my missus says it saw a certain he's quite funny Emily here's that guy it was almost like he he'd found a platform by which he could engage with the public come on name was wrecking questions on his wife knew that and that gave him power the show was renowned for his chaos and at the heart of it all was Russell that's why there was a lot of heat around Russell at that time in terms of his popularity the excitement people felt Bamm as a comedian how distinctive he was how intelligent he was and I think that was a big breakthrough moment for him I remember one day we were in the studio and the girls started walking by not only turned as I thought it then because they started screaming and shouting to rust I thought wow this really is it now this is the effect that he's gonna have on Whitney if you found fame mate pulling even easier Russel was like a child in a sweetshop ah oh I know why women like him absolutely women like him because he loves women and he has loved women in many different ways and forms when I met him he was having sex with five or six women a day it was a conveyor belt of kind of faceless nameless bodies Russell was having sex with so many beautiful women that every so often he would have sex with very non beautiful women just as a sort of palate cleanser but a chance meeting with a certain supermodel turned Russell from Zed to a list when he first became prominent in the tabloids he was uh he was putting their alphabet money and then he hit the jackpot with Kate Moss and then the rest is it history now that you're happily married and certainly found the right woman do you slightly we detected a slight wincing there some of your old mates talking about the old Russell I would like it's makes me look bad not only makes you look bad but just because you've changed yourself and you have calmed down a bit you're not on that conveyor belt as they put it the other on the conveyor belt I was in the middle cogito Lee just those immediately in their droves and this is what's extraordinary yeah I just saved your success rate like do the audience want to hear there's that sort of stuff yes oh don't judge me after a bit where I fall don't say anything well there's certain practical considerations really any more than like me I'm the neutral any more than free others then what you're essentially in is like a French fast where is door slamming and plate spinning it's too much going on it's very hard to manage that kind of situation it becomes more like a sort of Olympic event even the enjoyment goes out of benefit the inaugural Russell Brand Easter hot tub party as chaos so that's no way to celebrate Easter at one stage you were treated for sexual addiction is that true yeah another place I've got booted off too by John Knoll so yeah I mean were you addicted to something so really I think I would just like addicted to living just like anything you put in front of me I'll go all right let's get amongst it do it properly you know you told me the time you were having sex at least 20 times a week I can't believe it especially now I'm married I'm a bloody good gardener so you touched on your sort of media stereotype that quickly developed after that the son named you it's it's prestigious award the shagger of the year twice three times I'm not complaining about all of you again you know and part of you loved it some bits are quite good shock of the year you can tell people that job interviews special skills well did I mention the shagging yes you did mr. Brando I rap over here's a certificate what your wife was less impressed with the title she said that you were a professional prostitute before you met well if she's misunderstood the nature of prostitution no money changed hands if I'd known that there was a market for it no she's alright because like she I don't think like she dear lke God lover knew the extremes of it because I wasn't famous in America when a mare so like now she is familiar with these yeah because I told her like an idiot mostly so that she would like because I was just so dazzled by the change but like you can't really appreciate something that's not there right so I had to tell her look what I'm not doing do you think you have it in you to genuinely go the rest of your life without having sex with another woman well here's the way I live my life is just one day at a time I do that in lots of ways I do that for my recovery from drugs and alcohol I do if the way that I treat people I don't look at things in terms of like rest of my life of course marriage is a bond for life and I wouldn't have taken that bond unless I was absolutely certain in my heart and in my mind and in my spirit but that's what I wanted but I think if you look at anything like for the rest of your life it can be daunting so I just think just take it one day at a time because you don't live your whole life now I haven't got to live it all today I haven't gotten like all no I'm in the intensive care ward all this baby you know you just now just got till you the final logical piece of the jigsaw is children yeah a be good only in our based in Hollywood and it's been an extraordinary transformation from the moment the Saks gate scandal blew up and you know you were off the radio suddenly no one was quite sure what's happening in your career here we are within two years in your a bonafide a nine movie Hollywood star what's your dream role what do you think um dream Rell simon bit of salad no I think tonight changes all the time really so if at the moment Arthur was a phenomenal thing to do because you love Dudley Moore not very good when you worship those guys yeah it's a comedy you're deadly serious on it yes very much so it's what I've liked it saved me in lots of ways that when I grew up watching 40 Towers Falls and all his black and I watch them things again again again learned him all off by heart you know so for me it's um by something I take very very seriously so to play a part that badly Morris played is a tremendous honor and to work with Dame Helen Mirren she's really brilliant isn't she the tea what's funny about her though right piers when you say you're doing like in Arthur which I was River right in the middle of doing a scene and I'm glad to in some grandstanding as I'm showing off and saying something funny and I look over her and it's their might to shot so we're both in it I'm freaking I'm brilliant look all these things I'm saying she ain't doing anything right then when he watch it back this think about her face or still move an eyebrow you only watch her would have been the real pinch me moments for you in Hollywood because I mean I don't ever I go to something home I'm not Duncan or well in today's name do you mean those moments we go what can't believe that does he have more when I'm with my mum or something because for me it happens like a little step little step little step you know that you don't notice it happening because it's made up of tight little decisions do the Emily do your mom say to the Vanity Fair kicked off I'm a mum met Tom Hanks right like so like and I go sir I went Tom Hanks this it like then the sort we introduced and they sort of shook hands and just after they went to shake hands I mean that's my mum oh come on we're not doing it like they're come here these are properly like lovely Tom hangul mom's hugging Forrest Gump [ __ ] foreigner it's like a box of chocolates but what about for you what have been the surreal moments here um well first of all is when they started to let me go in the players lounge at West Ham and I was able to go new players and like but they'd like just like young lads are they I always think that I go Sam and I think I mean like Alan Devonshire Bobby Moore or someone from likely way back there almost yeah but I just thank you like cuz it for me footballs full of all this importance and what it signifies what it signifies to the people and what it is and what it represents now it brings people together and I so try and convey that to like mark know but we've probably 22 year old sort of West Ham midfielder know mark what you have done for this club thanks more marks are capable of receiving that kind of sentiment what is your take on Hollywood what do you actually make of the reality of Hollywood as you get famous you have can have yes minimum score that's a brilliant idea in laugh and I've met people like that people around me they're just rude to me the whole time you're not [ __ ] doing that make that stupid about people I serve a lot you need that you think yeah I think you do let me make Danny I was gonna write read this thing of like okay he's blood does my security in that I was like gonna read this thing on this American chat show for my book and it's like I drink this thing about dolphins and I thought it was amazing bit of writing and I maintain in fact that it was I've sort of said dolphins they're like liquid magic scorching the sea these phantoms of the ocean actually I read that bit Danny goes might often the objective is to entertain um let my Boram a [ __ ] did five years ago you were performing to 30 people in a pub now you have your first Hollywood star vehicle let me assure you if you are a little bit nervous that I am famous in the United Kingdom okay when he first went to America he would stare at people in Santa Monica because I probably the most term throw most English people are shopping you start people to the recognized he's always wanted to be a film star now to say it we used to like walk up and down the streets and he'd say yeah you know one day I'm gonna be some big mega mega film star and you just going here I than me you know you can't even forward a cup of coffee I believe that he would I just knew he was going to be big one day after memorable parts in films like forgetting sarah marshall and get him to the Greek Russell's dream of Hollywood superstardom was within reach in America they talked about the movies talk about his standard of a completely different view of it with new film Arthur hello Arthur Russell's established himself as one of the world's hottest movie talents Watson Watson Watson what lesbian Simon and Garfunkel 61st and park look hmm well spotted another real wasted talents wash your Winky when a film like that comes up you need the right kind of actor to take that role I know that Russell loved um and was inspired by Dudley Moore I'm a Gary my bed is made of magnets get me out of here at least something in his room is attracted to you to take on the role of Arthur just to fill that the shoes though been made so famous by such a great comedian that's a challenge but having said that you know he's young and he's of this time and he's up for it you know you'll jump in where angels fear to tread there's one thing we're never part of Russell is that you'll do that I'm not taking anything seriously at all with his career flying high and his addictions behind him the final piece of the jigsaw fell into place when he married the love of his life Katy Perry he said he'd met this girl he really liked I didn't know huge amount about Katy he was taking her out to dinner on a proper date he said he was he was nervous he is his tummy with stuff we had butterflies in his tummy and he couldn't eat and I knew that she was going to be the one for Russell ke is so extraordinary but they make they are such an ordinary couple it is normal he does quite a lot of her indoors style her you know chat which suggests to me that he needs to tread sometimes a bit carefully with Katy who I imagine keeps him in line but he is a bloke who needs to be kept in line it successful clean sober and settle down he's happier than ever with his controversial days a thing of the past Paul Russell become a tad boring Russell has needed to be less controversial and will be less controversial but I think will not be less funny and less talented I think that it's a very good thing the Russell Brand became famous in England first before he went to America because if he pull that September the 12th stun in America you would never have heard of him again it's the best thing about being married using their ability of it like having like that there's someone that's my friend you know like it's like it's honestly I know people it's really hard because I know that I was the same when I was looking at stuff in magazines like Ally or E or like for them sort of magazines but like it's so normal life course the things on surface she's a pop star and I'm in films in that it seems like different and glamorous but what it boils down to is just it's like you know meaner like in a room some ago no you right would you do they'll you know know what I'm gonna do about it just comes all I'm worried about that cat just becomes chitchat and normal and loving and support you know it's a very normal thing that's in poor Victor don't think I've ever had it I don't think I've ever had in normal life I think when I was a kid it was all about my mum done a great job and done her best but I was caught up in all sorts of chaos you know the final logical piece of the jigsaw is children yeah Abby good lonely I'm looking forward to you like that are you working on this no I don't yet because no rush cuz I don't want to get to that we you know we've not been married very long a bit you know she works Lodi workloads and like I think it's I'm still excited and enchanted by her so like it'd been nice to I think you know the right time now yeah I think it'd be brilliant kind of father do you think you'd be I like I'm gonna focus on it like I'm gonna try and remember all them things that I fail and then when if then thing has happened like a car well you know just try and steer him as best you can and try and remember what it felt like I think you should do that in your dealings with all people anyway just remember that everyone's the same as you well the great advantage you'll have is they'll be literally absolutely nothing but the child of yours could possibly do that you haven't already done that's good I'm gonna have no recourse girl from school for drugs well done you're on target Russell Brand thank you very much Cheers well Luke
