Russell Brand

[gintonic]

self congratulatory bed-hopping past.

wasnt that an outcome of his sex addiction

 

[sean99]

As funny as genital herpes.

Which could be quite funny I suppose, provided it was someone else afflicted.

If you can’t say something nice about someone then you shouldn’t say anything at all, except in the case of Russell Brand. I think I’d rather chew polystyrene than listen to him telling us how great he is!

 

[Woodface]

I kind of forgot he existed

 

[droodzilla]

I quite like him. He did a memorable documentary about treatment for drug addiction a few years ago.

 

[MichaelC]

Who is this Rubber Band?

 

[MikeMA]

I kind of forgot he existed

So had I. Not heard anything about him lately, then this thread pops up for no immediately apparent reason other than Martyn doesn't like him (fair enough I suppose) or have I missed something?

 

[Bart]

I wish he and Wossy would get back together - and pull a prank that would get them both permanently banned from all media in perpetuity.
On second thoughts I'll take that back as they would undoubtedly upset some inoffensive individual(s) in the process

 

[Mongeddavid]

Have to say i really like him he has been through alot with his drug addiction and is a strong advocate for recovery programmes. He may talk too much but he is a true peace loving and spiritual guy . He gets involved with protests that matter to him and lots of other folks I would much rather have someone of his sensibilities in a position to affect change in the UK than our current government.

 

[dweezil]

Media often totally overexpose their latest find, we had that with Russel when he appeared ad nauseam. Now replaced with Brian Cox and that dodgy ex vicar.

Similarly i guess Killing Eve will be milked into oblivion.

 

[Thorn]

I WILL NOT GET INVOLVED FURTHER, this thread or anywhere else.

Good.

 

[Tarzan]

One would not like to get stuck in a lift with Mr Brand and Mr Corden...…

 

[Brown Bottle]

I'm another one who forgot he existed. I imagine he's active on Twitter, which I'm not. I find him a bit 'full on' but don't have any hate towards him and have occasionally found him interesting to listen to.

Cheers BB

He kind of re-branded (pun lolz) himself into a podcaster/youtuber and has a different outlook on life since settling down with a wife and kid. Whether he is more/less annoying than previously is down to your own judgement.

I can tolerate him in short bursts and it definitely depends on who he is interviewing and the subject matter, when he starts getting all spiritual I have to turn it off. Complete mumbo jumbo.

 

[Bob McC]

I hope he stays in Australia where his is during covid 19.

 

[JensenHealey]

I thought he lived in a nice cottage on the River Thames these days.

 

[Martyn Miles]

He’ll have to be careful he doesn’t fall in the water...

 

[JensenHealey]

Live on the Thames these days and the water will frequently come to you!

 

[Joe Hutch]

I am reminded of the conversation between Andrew Lloyd-Webber and the theatrical producer, Cameron Mackintosh:

Lloyd-Webber: 'I don't know why, but people seem to take an instant dislike of me'.

Mackintosh: 'Saves time, I suppose'.

 

[myles]

I'm still waiting for examples of his political activism. I'm not holding my breath, unless a few YouTube videos around the last election are going to be put up as evidence!
