Maybe he's just saying he misses his privacy...but it's unhealthy for him to say that.

He has got to be going down the slide.

He's just telling the truth. He's not lying. Russell loves his drugs. And there you have it. That is Russell's reality, every single day.

No, just a famous drug addict.

Nothing is stopping him from being a drug addict. So He should get wasted and stop whining about it. He has enough money now to go on a really good run.

Well, it's all about happiness, right? Ugh...Where's Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson and all the other celebrities so we can make fun of them? Wait...nevermind. Pretend you never saw this posting.

John Belushi was lots of fun when he was alive. Not so much since he died. Brand is too stupid to see the obvious. He's a drug dealer's wet dream.

If he feels that badly about it, there's a simple solution... GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS! If he likes the money too much and doesn't get out, then he should shut his yap about it and quit complaining! Only an idiot would say something as stupid as that.

He decided that his drug-fueled insanity was more fun that waking up to the lovely Katy Perry every morning.

Some people should just be neutered...

I think England encouraged him to move here.....as a payback for Madonna moving there.

I've never 'got' Russell Brand. He's not funny and he can't act

Rather than denying him the oxygen of publicity I'd just deprive him of oxygen...

He's a comedian and if you know his comedy then it is truly him trying to be funny! That's just who he is! On Piers Morgan talk show he said he loved it!

Yes...since he is already famous and people look up to him he needs to be more mindful of his behavior. He should have just stayed a drug addict if that is how he really feels!

Who's Russell Brand?!? Oh, the caveman from the Geico commercial. And fercrissakes, is there ANYONE in the entertainment business who isn't a drug addict nowadays?!? It makes you wonder if the little green gecko was a heroin addict as well.

he's a lousy actor and an absolutely horrible comedian, add to tthat he doesn't look very appealing either

- no wonder he would rather be a drug addict

the only positive thing going for him would be to be stoned all the time

To be honest, I thought he was a drug addict already.

reply
Stevethinks 2012/08/08 02:44:22

No

I think he was being facetious... I've never known a comedian that didn't want to be famous or loved or rich...If there are negative comments from men, it's probably because he's kicked more women from bed than...and if from women, they fancy him. ..I think if he is famous for anything it's for bedding girls, wouldn't you say? And as for anything else, many people may take shots at him, but he's made bundles of dough from the opinions of others...let's look..scroll, scroll, scroll ah I was correct, jealous, jealous, jealous?

Nah, maybe to him, being high, intoxicated/sedated and the other jazz makes him feel famous ya know. So its a win win either way.

He's a recovering heroin addict who's (technically) famous. If he could say that he'd rather be an addict again, then he has a problem. RED FLAG. Get thee to rehab, Russell. I've known too many drug addicts, and I know the warning signs. Such a bizarre outburst is definitely a warning sign.

What is this "slippery slope" you speak of?? Why should ANYONE other than he, care about his personal choices, or any perceived damage he may do to HIMSELF??

I was going to say 'yes', but he is already famous AND a drug addict, so....he really has nowhere to slide.
