- Worth watching just to hear Jeremy say 'shagging'.

Had to cut about three seconds from the end due to the UA-cam time limit - sorry guys! - Розваги
I wish my words and my mind could move as fast as his does
Woah, I love how he uses such fine words.
I really have to give him a lot of credit for being a true self-made man. I know he didn't get a whole lot of schooling, but he's clearly VERY intelligent and quick-witted, and honestly, it makes me respect him a lot more. I appreciate well-spoken people, and clever people even more. Good show, sir.
This guy is an amazing wordsmith. I loved listening to him talk.
Im sure russell is the only person that has blown jeremy paxman's mind :p
love this man
I rewatch this every couple of months. It's brilliant.
Jeremy: "Blimey." lol my feeling exactly. What an amazing person.
i love how he goes so in depth into every nook and cranny of every single complicated question that is thrown at him and enriches and satisfies the viewer! he's incredibly captivating!
I never get tired of this dude... especially the way he speaks & the things he says. Amazing interview... Possibly the best I've seen. Love the way the interviewer seems against him in general at first only to come to a complete 180 about his feelings towards him by the end & genuinely being amazed & impressed by him. Russel Brand is just awesome!
What an eloquent and dynamic individual. I certainly hope to see more of his work in the future.
Wow the way see speaks is so beautiful! It's hard to understand sometimes because not only does he speak fast he also uses as extensive vocabulary. You can tell he is so passionate in everything he does that's why he speaks so quickly as to get the message out because there is so much to say. I LOVE HIM!
He took lots of psychedelics, you can see it in his passion and in his deepness the way he dives into a subject and comes out in a diffrent subject and he sees it all holisticly connecting together.
A man with passion is a rare thing these days.
Thank you BBC.
You are spot on man! Especially when you mentioned Chesterton. Also, a little bit of Thomas Merton type mysticism in there too. Just brilliant!
Russell really kept his cool and illustrated such a large amount of important concepts, never ceases to amaze
i love the dichotomy of a guy that looks like this, speaking so eloquently, beautifully... love it
Amen to that sir. Very well put. I was just having this conversation with some friends today.
Really enjoyed this interview, watching him makes me want to better myself, by reading more and by being a less selfish and materialistic person. Thanks very much for posting.
Russel Brand has really astonished me tonight. I never payed him attention because of the movies he's been in. But now....I'm speechless. This man is so intelligent and.....human. Can we say the same for other hollywood stars? I certainly cannot.
my favourite comedian. this interview is one that shows a completely different side to him than the media portrays.
I don't see how people are taking his wide vocabulary as a defense mechanism for himself. Clearly he answers the questions directly with complete honesty.
Just inspirational Russell Brand, anybody can find any more of these deep interviews of this brilliant person?
Great interview from Jeremy. Never once asked the wrong question and gave him room to speak.
Could listen to him for hours. So articulate...
Jesus Christ man, such emotion, such emotional thoughts convoyed through such a poetic demeanor, such trueness and energy, can I give you a hug?
he's clean and sober now. i think given his previous state, his recovery has been remarkable. his documentary on bbc 3 the other night, 'from addiction to recovery' is fantastic, and shows just how far he has come
I first saw Russell in the move "Take him to the Greek". Now this interview feels like continuation of the movie. Good stuff :)
One does not simply have a casual conversation with Russell Brand.
If Brand was "on something", as has been put forth in the comments, then it is a "something" to which I aspire. His fast talking might give pause, but the clarity, intelligence and cogent reasoning he puts forth are both inspiring and refreshing.
Fame has laid its "icy hand" upon many... but few so deserving. Bravo!
thnx a ton mate (:
Great interview.
Such a genuine, likeable, intelligent, hilarious man. I think many people focus on superficial things when it comes to Mr Brand.
He is so bloody awesome.
My respect for Russel Brand has grown. He is obviously a deep thinker and his eloquent, thoughtful speech reflects that. Wow
this is incredible!
Russell is such a great personality and very eloquent while so damn hyperactive.
Wow this was...enlightening. New fan.
He made perfect sense and clearly has an extremely developed and highly intelligent understanding of media's relationship with society.
He understands his workplace and that interview alone was probably worth an honoury sociology degree.
Honesty, passion, commitment, intelligence and wit, far more informative and entertaining than most politians and he answered the questions always coming back to the the main point.
He has my vote
he is truly amazing!
Such eloquence! Russell is quite the entertainer.
I love this man.
Wow, I must say I'm impressed with the way Russell plays the game. I would never have guessed that such intelligence and insight was lying behind the character portrayed in the media. No if only more celebrities had a heart and mind like his we could see the change in the world that he speaks about.
I love this guy
Such visceral terminology Russell. Loveee yaaaah
This is true. SO many people bash on him on his appearance which I think is unfortunate. You are absolutely right; people have so much potential -- practically a living library.
he's so lucid and quick
I bloody love Russell Brand, he's so unbelievably intelligent!
he is awesome
Thank you for whoever posted this to Reddit, y'all.
I sure have, but thank you for taking the time to reply. It's on UA-cam actually (/watch?v=kKCwcP7A-RE&list=FLpOksj7P2qTYH6p9Tfl-FzQ&index=35) Did you mean to say you can't get the BBC iPlayer link to work? Or that UA-cam wont let you post links in here?
i love Russell 3
Russell Brand isn't the stereotypical "hot" guy but he is captivating--his humor, the way he speaks so passionatly, I find him extremely attractive in the strangest of ways.
I love that man.
Russell Brand is just brilliant!
Admission is the first step towards recovery. Congratulations on nailing that first step! Best of luck in all future endevours pal.
My hero....
Russell is so fascinating
this interview was great. i like Paxman and Brand very much. they both seem to be very in touch
This Russell Brand guy is pretty cool. I love this interview. If anyone deserves celebrity then I'd say this guy does.
Brilliant!
I like that neither of them are fazed by the other. You can tell that Paxman respects him highly, and they both recognise the other's intelligence, and it makes this a very good interview.
Just shows how good an actor he is.
Booyah. This is beautiful.
He is so incredibly eloquent
Russell Brand is awesome.
This is a fantastic interview. He comes across as extremely intelligent and genuine.
I might have to go take a look at his book now
@Xenolinguistica good point. seeing as though i have never heard him speak before, i agree with that assessment.
He is always so excited when he talks..or it's just perhaps the enthusiasm of doing the interview.
good interview. planet
new found love for Russell Brand.
Firstly, he got sober before his first book came out a couple years ago. What you saw was what happens when someone is well read, extremely intelligent, and passionately trying to not only defend himself against the preconceived idea of who he is based on his love of playing practical jokes and acting like a kid. I've read the book, and it's outstanding. He titled it "My Wooky-Book" as an ironic statement about the dichotomy of his public persona and his real self.
behind most brilliant comedians is an outsounding intellegence. that is russell. plus it makes him hot. good luck to him
Interestingly well educated, with an immense vocabulary. Hats off, Sir.
This dude is so eloquent, my god
@Outc4st YES, actually. There's a great one with Dawn French--you can search it up on youtube. It has three parts and I think that's the most serious I've seen him in an interview. It made me see more of his...persona behind-the-scenes so to speak, like for once he wasn't acting the Russell Brand of the media but more relaxed, personal, and real. Anyway, check it out I think you'll like it. If I can find it again I'll try to send it to you.
Refreshing
..and another classic Paxman at 13:13 . This interview is a work of art in itself.
I Love Russell Brand.
I'd hate to be in a battle with words with Russell Brand. He's so smart and quick-minded. Just listening to him requires me to be palming my dictionary.
I can't over how eloquent he is. I suspect he is ridiculously intelligent...
If anything paxman came across like he generally respected brand by the end. He will always ask direct questions but I have never seen him smile so much :)
Wow, Such a philosophical man!
Wow, he is actually a great guy. He speaks alot of sense about stuff I have thought about myself.
The interviewer initially seems opposed to Russell, but he ends seeming rather impressed.
Russel Brands Vocabulary = WOW!
ohmygawd I love him
Just keep talking,.....
Most people usually always focus on superficial things which is really unfortunate. There's much more to people than how they appear. As humans every one of us has infinite potential and I think we can learn something valuable from everyone, doesn't matter who they are.
education + anger = pretty fucking great dialogue.
i shat myself..this mans too brilliant oh my god
wtf this is a badass interview
My estimation of him went up 1000% by the end of this interview
Shadow on the wall, Plato. Nice, I think I love Russell Brand now :)
He had an hour interview in 15 minutes. Wow.
It takes something special to render Jeremy Paxman speechless. Good interview.
That's the thing about comedy, even the comedians who fall in the "dumb humor" niche are quite intelligent. The creation of compelling comedic material as well as its perfectly timed delivery is far harder than most would believe.
He's a Court Jester in the MOVIE kingdom. BUT he knows what he wants. Awesome Dude. Humble and Funny.
Ya know, I know a few people personally who are this articulate.
So, I am suprised how impressed people are - I mean that in the nicest way possible.
Why are people so blown away by the fact that he is capable of using a wide range of vocabulary to express an idea about modern culture that has been beaten to death.
what a clever man
