- 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
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.
