That journey out of where he was had to be epic, can't even imagine it! So glad he did it!
And he continued to evolve and grow. He never stopped learning, growing and being a decent, sweet-natured, kind human being, who true cares about the others. He found the Real 'love of life' and back where he loves and appreciates .....England. Our home and native land! 2021!

He's such a gorgeous human being
I have never heard Piers Morgan laugh & actually enjoy himself. Only Russell or maybe Noel Fielding can do this.
Charming, smart and charismatic. He has a brilliantly clever mind that he articulates beautifully. I think he's a good man. 👍
Love him or hate him,or both at the same time, He certainly gives us something to think about. I didnt want to like him but.. he`s sharp, fascinating and often right.

The title is terrible but it's a funny book. He's got lots of interviews where he completely owns it. Not voting was a political point as it's a protest against the whole system. In a failing system something has to change - he was trying to provoke that. You carry on the merry-go-round
Russell’s mum is so sweet. Russell has grown so much as a person. He is truly an intellectual
Russel Brand Mum, is such a sweetheart

Russell Brand inspires me and helps me see things in the proper perspective: I am a recovering addict/alcoholic and how he handles life and deals with people makes me realize I am not so weird after all and I can stay sober and have a productive, positive life. His honesty about himself is one of the things that is restoring my faith in humanity. Thank you Mr. Brand!

I don't think that Piers Morgan has much respect for stupid idiotic people and that is how he tones his interviews. I think with Russell he knows what he's dealing with which is intelligence and Truth along with humour. He seems to genuinely like and respect Russell.
I love his honesty.
russell russell you never stop surprising me at all. I do love you. never a loss for words
i've developed a lot of respect for russel over the years. i used to hate the guy and couldn't understand why anyone liked him.. but now he seems to have grown up and i think a lot of what he does is great. he seems a lot more balanced with a much clearer head. obviously he's still a bit crazy, but take him with a pinch of salt and look where he's come from.

Rei Who said that? I sure didn't.
Appreciate his being candid about personal experiences.
I love his mind, damn. And articulation. And sense of humor. During the interview he behaves similarly to Robin Williams.
Russell is a fucking legend. An incredible, amorphous human being. He gives more than he gets from his popularity. The rose jowled, chinless, entitled, talentless Piers Morgan that requires canned laughter to endear his television audience and now resorts to hit pieces on a high profile woman who rejected his affection and easy attacks on open targets is an absolute dulard entirely self absorbed with bitterness that gropes around for vicarious attention.
OK I will admit...that after 3 nights of watching and learning about this young man...I lol had a 'dream' about him last night......... He was very nice, supportive and loved me......encouraging me to be who I wanted to be....( which no one ever did )....All right mate....I'll give it a go....for you Russell.....!! Happy you finally have a stable marriage and the children you longed for........Blessings.....
Such a beautiful man inside and out

He's such a natural, RUssell, Didn't think his comedy was my type but find him hilarious and a lovely refreshingly honest bloke. So so talented I hope all his dreams come true and that he stays clean and sober cos he's a wonderful interesting exceptionally intelligent man and his book has helped me get off booze. X
Watching interviews of him from his earlier life he gives off this vibe that he always have to prove himself in some way (at least to me he does). His energy today feels a lot more grounded and calm. Sometimes I can see him slipping back into his old persona momentarily, but he seems a lot more self aware today. Maybe that's just a part of aging, but I think he's put a lot of effort into working on himself.

Russell Brand is a great example of how one can overcome adversity. He's honest about the negative side of himself, which is unusual in any period of human history, aye he's made mistakes who hasn't?? I didn't like him at all until recently yet I admire his wit, his charm, and I, who have been addicted to heroin and a multitude of other things to try ease the pain of not having a clue, being a nutter know how easy it would have been for him to give up not go to rehab. I believe those of you who r critical of him, r either envious or more likely u see something in him that u don't like about urself.
Just be yourself. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Love you Russel. Awesome video.

Cynical as I am, many a person has had addictions in various ways and recovered? But while I know humour is subjective, I feel his hypo activity and ego manic behaviour is all a reflection of still hiding behind a deep insecurity, I didn't recall that many prominent celebrities spreading compliments? I GUESS he's made a few bob , but he lost rather a lot on heavy dude drugs ! Not the most impressive guest on piers Morgan show:Would love a Robin Day interviewing him in his day ??
So love you, R.B. Anyone that could tame, entertain, make laugh and subdue to a thankful smile, the likes of Mr. Morgan, is one extremely talented 'bloke' Your lovely sincerity, along w/such a quick-wittedness that nails all to the wall, is very much appreciated. Plz live a long happy, relaxed life; you"ve already made this world a better place for your being here.
When I first seen him I was like “who is this idiot???” He just kept showing up on various tv things and I didn’t find him funny but after seeing him in Bedtime Stories and Rock of Ages he was actually a pretty good actor. After seeing him here I saw a completely different side to him. Very down to earth, eccentric but yet completely down to earth and very intelligent.
I loved when Russell showed up to speak at the Parliament wearing some raunchy looking black tank top. Very classy.
This was such a delighful chat! Thank you for the upload. Russel is so brilliant, insanely smart and super funny. Why did they (Katy & R) get divorced... do we know? Cheers Piers! :-) xxx
you cant help but like him!!
I love it when I find full versions of tv shows that featured celebs I grew up with on KZread that are exactly like they are or were on tv, in other words not altered for YT copyright, cheers! I’m going to enjoy this while I can...
The only reason why I even bothered to watch big brother was because I wanted to watch Russel brand. The stuff that came flooding out of his mouth was just hilarious gold.
I had no knowledge of Russell Brand, until this interview. What a great interview!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, i just found it, and look forward to watching more episodes!
The best comedian… absolutely true to his craft!
Proof that Piers Morgan is capable of something good. Thoroughly enjoyed this chat.

Like every Comedian, Russell is extremely bright and so very knowledgeable. I believe A lot of people who become Addicts are trying to self medicate some type of pain. Whether this is true or not in Russell Brands case, Kudos to Him for beating Sex, Drugs and Alcohol Abuse/Addiction while still making people laugh and love Him throughout the world. Russell Brand is A One Man Show, Very Funny, Painfully Honest and Extremely Articulate. I Miss watching Him on T.V. Wish He had A talk show where He was doing the interviewing. That would be T.V Gold.

Really liked him on BBLB, grew to dislike his 'persona' (Russell Brand on steroids?) but his new KZread videos are excellent, and he's far more down to earth and approachable. I hope he continues to feel comfortably zen by just being unaffected RB. I'm sure he's a really lovely man and opening that up to KZread viewers can't be easy, so take care Russell and stay safe.
