Russell Brand is once again making headlines for his recent comments. The comedian has made a shocking confession and also responded to his ex-wife Katy Perry's dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He also discussed his new book How to Become a Christian in 7 Days and reflected on his life.
Russell Brand on his life and divorce with Katy Perry
Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show, Russell Brand confessed to having sex with a 16-year old partner when he was 30. He reportedly stated, "I did sleep with a 16-year-old when I was 30, but when I was 30, I was a very different person. I was a lot younger, and I was an immature 30-year-old." In addition, he said that the age of consent is 16 in the United Kingdom, where the sex act apparently occurred 20 years ago.
He spoke about his marriage with singer Katy Perry and why it failed: "I pushed to get married early because I felt inadequate and insecure and like I wasn't enough and that if I was married to her, I would somehow be a better person and more important. And that put her under an unnecessary amount of pressure and strain."
“She has innocence; she's a very beautiful person. She's also incredibly driven and worked really, really hard. Here's me taking total responsibility for all the mistakes I made in that marriage. I felt like I was inadequate and not enough on my own,” Russel said. He continued, "Orlando Bloom, I love that guy. Brilliant. Justin Trudeau, though, is potentially Fidel Castro's spawn. No, there we draw the line." He said, "I specifically don't like what is typified by those good-looking politicians, [Barack] Obama, [Emmanuel] Macron, and [Tony] Blair," he explained. "They're sort of good-looking and they're charming. But you think, who do you work for really? Who's running this? Because it can't be you. And I don't like that sort of pose of compassion that's absolutely undergirded by selfishness, probably because I recognise it myself. I'm so selfish sometimes."
