Russell Brand.

I do find men seem to hate Russell for the fact he's one of those guys your wife/partner would probably sleep with given the chance.

Haha, even more so because, from a chaps point of view, he doesn't seem all that special.

Not really bothered on the guy personally. Talks a lot of guff IMO but more fool the rest of us for giving him more attention than perhaps he really deserves.

I've never seen the fascination but being a man I presume I wouldn't. he's one of those people where if he wasn't famous/rich would he really get so much female attention

Considering he is a millionaire many many times over it's fair to say he lives a VERY humble existence.
His house is hardly an extravagant mansion and he doesn't even own a car let alone have a collection of sports-cars, super-bikes, yachts ..etc!! (ALL of which he could easily afford)

He has dedicated a HUGE amount of both his time and money to helping people far less fortunate than himself and has helped inspire people to be more loving and compassionate!!
As a matter of fact I'm off to West Africa next month to see if I can help people who I feel have been dealt a rough hand in life, Russell Brand help inspire me to get off my ass and do this so before you get all cynical and judgmental maybe you should ask yourself who YOU have inspired recently??

Good for you, seriously. If Russell Brand is your motivation then, again, good for you although I personally will never understand why.

I'm afraid I'm past the point of no return with regards to the judgmental and cynical aspects in terms of Russell Brand. He was nails down a blackboard as a 'comedian' but as a knock off Wolfie Smith he is sliding down a razor blade using ones balls as brakes, to me anyway. I'm sure there are celebs and others you dislike ?

As for who I've motivated, I don't pretend to reach the audience that Brand does but I've helped turn around a young lads life who was sinking into petty crime. He's now going for his first NCO attempt in the army. I've helped many people off heroin and into rehab who have then gone onto productive lives and I've helped many people with mental health issues turn themselves around - one in particular makes me smile as the last time I saw the result of her self harming, she almost bled out from an arterial bleed. I also support a local boxing club in the area I work and donate money and equipment where I can. A young lad who was borderline going down the wrong path has parents without two tenners to rub together and he now wears my old Adidas boxing boots that I gave him and he's unbeaten in 10 amateur fights. I'm claiming motivation from me on that one. :)

I feel like a bit of a braggart now which isn't my thing but you asked so I've said. I don't usually bang on about such things unlike Russell Brand. I just get on with it.

Good luck in West Africa.

Hmmm, I wouldn't call living in a £4,000 a month apartment in one of the trendiest parts of London a "very humble existence".

He doesn't drive a car because he has a chauffeur to drive him about (again hardly the life of proletariat), he's even filmed some of his Trews videos from it. Like this one for example...

He doesn't drive a car because he doesn't have a license, he still has to get to work, do you expect a celebrity who would be recognised around the world to take public transport every day and deal with constant harassment?

Typically most of the hate he gets are because of all the girls he's slept with and the life style he's lead.

So, I'm a bit confused. What exactly is the problem that he has had a successful career and made money?

Aren't you allowed to be working class/socialist/whatever and be successful?

Considering the guy is completely self made (If he was a rich kid just living off intergenerational wealth I would feel different but it still doesn't change the fact he's trying to do something positive), he was on the dole for like 5 years with a heroin addiction till he turned his life around completely.

Even if you dislike him, good luck denying that's impressive....

No I just believe people need to inject some critical thinking into their heads.

Also we see countless posts here how the media are biased and not to believe everything they say, when it is to do with Russell brand instantly apparently that is all forgotten....

Considering russell brand is a religious twonk, maybe you should tell him about critical thinking.
 
Seem to go against the rest of the people here and love Russell Brand.
More so for his podcasts he does with Matt Morgan, the two together produce some hilarious listens :)
 
I guess the main problem with that article is that the Daily Mail has labelled him anti-Capitalist, where as he's not labelled himself that. He's simply said that we should address inequality and corruption. Also Buckingham Palace isn't something the Queen has gone out and earned, he's actually earned all of his money off his own back and is clearly free to spend it on whatever he wants. He's obviously doing his part for people less fortunate than him.
