Russell Brand is such a creep. It's kind of mindblowing that we all took him as being just an eccentric when he was a big media personality.

Nah, as a dude I always suspected, he had mad peacock energy, fame and a huge ego. Guys like that are so used to women throwing themselves at him they just cant fathom someone being not interested.

TBF most of the women I know could kick Russel Brand's ass.

What did Russell Brand do to get famous? I remember him back in the 2010s being known for questioning existing power structures. Like, he got on stage at some event sponsored by Hugo Boss and brought up the fact that they made uniforms for the nazis.

Stand up. I saw him on tour before he was famous. 2003ish I think.
