Russell Edward Brand was born on 4 June 1975 under the zodiac sign of Gemini, in Grays, Essex, England.

He’s the son of Ronald Henry Brand, who worked as a photographer, and Barbara Elizabeth (nee Nichols) – his parents separated when he was only six months old, so he was raised by a single mother. During his childhood, his mother had to undergo treatment for both uterine cancer and breast cancer, so he lived with his relatives. At the age of 14, he suffered from bulimia nervosa, and two years later left home and became a drug addict. He attended Grays School, where he made his debut stage appearance in the production of “Bugsy Malone”, so developed his love for acting, and started working as an extra in films. He then enrolled in the Italia Conti Academy, but was expelled for illegal drug use and poor attendance.
