His career started in 2000 when he performed a stand-up comedy routine at the Hackney Empire where he competed with other comedians for the title of New Act of the Year. He ended up not winning, but he went on to become a journalist for the famous music channel MTV. His career finally took off when Russell was featured in a show called Big Brother’s Big Mouth. It was well-known, and a spin-off of the very famous the program called Big Brother. Russell became famous in the United States when he got a role in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He has also voiced several characters in such movies as Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, and Arthur and Hop. He also starred in the movie called St. Trinian’s which was a huge hit worldwide and had a sequel made. Because of this role Russell got yet another movie to star in, a movie called Get Him to the Greek.

Speaking about his personal life, Russell’s parents were divorced when Russell was about half a year old baby. That resulted in him being raised by his mother alone. In an interview, Russell Brand told the journalist that he was once a victim of sexual abuse as a child. He was molested by a tutor who was hired for him by his mother. Also, the star opened up and shared the story of how his mother was diagnosed with uterine and breast cancer only a year after the sexual abuse took place. This has really helped Russell Brand’s fan to see the other side to their favorite comedian.

Russell appears to be quite a womanizer. At least the media portrays him as one, often writing about how Russell goes on dates with different women or just quoting him on his previous relationships. He has been married once, to the famous pop singer and entrepreneur Katy Perry. They started dating in 2009 and after several months of dating Brand proposed to Perry. They were engaged for almost a year before they got married. The ceremony took place in the Maldives. They had been together for almost 14 months before Russell hired a lawyer and filed for divorce citing the conflict in both his and Perry’s career schedules. Russell’s and Perry’s divorce got finalized in the summer of 2012.

Although Russell has had his personal struggles and a failed marriage, he is still famous and very well-known in show business. It is no surprise that such charismatic man has obtained such great a wealth!
