The comedian, actor, writer and podcaster has previously found himself out of a job after questionable actions
Russell Brand – the comedian, actor and podcaster – is no stranger to controversy.
In 2008, during a performance at the Royal and Derngate theatre in Northampton he made a hoax call to police saying he had seen a man responsible for a series of assaults. Northamptonshire police decided not to bring charges. Brand and Jonathan Ross left “gratuitously offensive, humiliating and demeaning” messages on the actor’s voicemail referring to Brand’s brief relationship with Sachs’ granddaughter Georgina Baillie. The BBC was fined £150,000 and Brand resigned from his Radio 2 programme.
He has been clean since 2003 and documented his journey in the book Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions and in his one-man show Better Now at the Edinburgh festival in 2004. He married Laura Gallacher, an author and illustrator, in 2017. In June he announced they are expecting their third child later this year.The actor reflected on the start of his career during a recent episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge.
