Russell Brand Interview

I love Russell Brand, he comes from the same town as me. Grays till I die.

He's exciting and an interview can go either way with him. He is a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for.

Oh, and he bought me a pie for Xmas. We was dancing together in the Bobby Moore stand at Upton Park.

Oh, and he does speak like that in casual conversation. I also understand what he means by 'Post-Industrial Essex'. Essex used to be the place where the Londoners would go for the industrial jobs outside of the captital. Since then a lot of our industry has died out.

Glaxosmithkline is literally one of the only big companies I think of as having an 'Essex' base now. Essex has undergone a transformation since the past 'suburb of London' label it used to have. Its become a lot more driven by the farmland in the extreme east/north of the county, the retail nature linking Lakeside and Bluewater and Kent, and the coastal towns.

Tons of our factories have gone.

A lot of the businesses I see around look like wheeler/dealer outfits than actual industry.

I haven't seen his stand up and I haven't really cared for any of the movies he's been in. That said I DO find him amusing and charming in interviews. I haven't seen enough of him to boil my opinion down to good/sucks.

I used to hate Ricky Gervais. I actually got turned onto him by An Idiot Abroad and now I like him a lot. So I'm gonna hold off on being too harsh till I see something that really showcases what he's all about.

i can't stand the way he 'elucidates' every sentence with his overly-convulted verb dropping. Such verbal-diarrhea. Doesn't make you sound smart Russell; just desperate to impress
this is the funniest thing ive read on gaf

the lack of self awareness lmao

edit: lol slammed. but also cant be sure you didnt get caught looking dumb and are now pretending it was a joke.
 
Can someone please link me to a funny Brand youtube video? People in here keep saying he's hilarious but I haven't seen it - and I like dry British humor!
