Russel Brand On What It Means To Be An Addict



  • Russell Brand has not used drugs for 10 years. He has a job, a house, a cat, good friends. But temptation is never far away. He wants to help other addicts, but first he wants us to feel compassion for those affected
From The Guardian. Definitely worth reading.

I have not seen any of Brand's films. But Elvis Mitchell did an hour-long interview with Brand (in 2011) on The Treatment that blew me away (it's available via itunes and here). Even if Brand does not always (IMO) succeed career-wise, the interview convinced me that he's a genius.
