    At once brilliant and wild, Russell Brand regales Larry with stories of fatherhood, opens up about battling addiction, and offers his incisive take on politics in this fascinating interview.

      the guy was so exploited as a young fella and he wasn't all that nice himself as is to be expected with his addictive personality
      people who pour scorn on him must miss the honesty that has been a constant for Russ since forever - as you said Trina, he wants to grow and is always doing his best, can't knock that, its refreshing and I used to find him grating as all hell (when he started hosting Big Brother)

      His interview with Megyn Kelly is better , because she seems more genuinely interested in his life view & philosophy & had obviously read his book about addiction ( 'Recovery' ) in detail. Larry King doesn't have warmth or rapport to me, with anyone he interviews . A cold fish is the vibe I get.

    Jesus! I love this man’s brain! Sometimes it hurts my head when I try to force my poor old brain to consider one of his perspectives, or understand one of his comments, but I always end up being more awed by him than confused by him. I truly believe If everyone could set aside any personal animosity they might have towards him or and take time to SERIOUSLY listen to what he has to say, they could very well be shocked at the impact his ideas and beliefs on their own perceptions. I understand that it might be difficult to set aside other the younger, public Russell Brand from the new and improved Russell, but you really need to work on doing that. I promise, he will make it worth your while! Personally, every time he appears in a Larry king interview, I’m surprised Larry’s head doesn’t explode.
