Russel Brands eyes

Yes I thought he was attractive when he first started presenting big brothers big mouth. he was articulate and funny and i’m a sucker for a man in eyeliner.

I met him a few times and he was nothing but charming and self-deprecating and just fun to be around.

And I still completely believe he did what he has been found guilty of. The idea that people can’t be erudite and charming and also a horrific human being is very strange to me.

quite a lot of people did fancy him, I hated his voice as well as his hair and I always thought he looked like he needed a good bath

Yes OP I fancied him like mad & went to all his shows from about 2005 to 2021. He made me laugh like no one else.
Yes he’s hollowed out now, lost alot of weight I think & looks quite haunted. I don’t fancy him atall now and the last show in 2021 was a bit flat compared to previous shows. 2017 show I went with DD and we couldn’t breathe for laughing.

I found hin attractive when I was in my 20s and he was on BBBM, but then i do have history for falling for odd-looking comedians. I bought booky wook and booky wook 2 and even Pied Piper for my kids. Now i just feel ashamed for lining his pockets.

if anyone listens to RHLSTP he was on an early episode of that, now deleted by Herring since the Dispatches documentary. I remember in a later episode, different interviewee, Herring discussing RB’s behaviour during the recording of that earlier episode. Herring lamented his own lack of sexual prowess and how RB had female members of the audience eating out of his hand. I guess RB did have something, despite looking like that ‘something’ was lice.

Demon

Don’t get me wrong, although I couldn’t stand him, I didn’t think he was a rapist.

I remember him from the 2000’s and 2010’s he could be very funny. Although his stand up was crap. I didn’t have any strong feelings either way towards him. I certainly didn’t spot him as a wrong ’un and no-one did anyone else I knew.

I did enjoy a podcast he did about 10 years ago, when he has really good guests and came from psychology/progressive stand point.

Believe its proven that cruelty to animals develop into cruelty to humans.

From my POV I never fancied him, some friends did, his humour wasn't mine but thats personal.preference. I saw him as overly confident and cocky which I really dont like in a man.

I think those who say its a witch hunt by the establishment etc are delusional. He is a predator who hunted women and did it in plain sight and got away with it for too long. Men.especialky need to call inappropriate behaviour / sexual harassment and abuse.

I think there will be a lot of men, both famous and not , who might becoming very worried at what could be heading their.way.

evil eyes is nonsense. hindsight not hindevilsight sorry

My late husband and his mother both had dark eyes - their eyes always looked warm and kind.

Brand is a psychopath and maybe it does show in his eyes.

I always thought he was gross. He reminds me of the Child Catcher off Chatty bang bang. Yuck.

I worked in a bookshop when my Booky Wook was released and could not understand why so many wanted to read it!

He was incredibly confident of his allure. My friend and I saw him at the Brighton Centre. At the end he said if anyone fancies a sgag I'm in room xxx at the Metropole, or if it's just a blowy come down the front. At least 30 people men and women went down the front. My friend was interested but I said let's go to his room later instead. Then managed to get her to forget. I was amazed b his confidence

@Lemieux7 I never believed the evil eyes thing until I encountered a man who used to come into my work to use the computers. He was eventually banned for dealing drugs, and he often had a couple of drugged up women with him, one of whom would try and solicit men. I was used to dealing with difficult characters but this guy had an air of barely suppressed violence about him in spite of the fact he was quite small and slightly built, and had the deadest eyes I’ve ever seen. Hadn’t seen him for a while until he appeared in the news sentenced to 12 years for people trafficking. One of the few people I’ve dealt with who really scared me.

Rasputin vibes.

I wouldn't have said he was eloquent. As others have said he just uses a lot of long , arcane sounding words at a rate of knots. Logorrhea . Does that have an adjectival form? Otiose, insufferably long winded. Perhaps he was, as Disraeli said of Gladstone : ' Intoxicated by the exuberance of his own verbosity.'

He always looked like his hair smelt dirty (well all of him, but the dirty hair was a particular gross out!)

I won't pretend I saw evil in his eyes or whatever but he certainly always seemed like a grubby skank to me!

Eurgh he's dirty and not in a good way .
Needs a good scrub (and no , I'm not volunteering )

Never fancied him, but I can see how others would. I thought his body shape didn’t suit the tight clothes he always wore. I think he had an eating disorder at one stage? Along with myriad addictions. He seemed to have a troubled childhood, I wonder what age he was when his parents split? Is he an only child?

is there anyone else in the public eye (ha) that's isn't evil currently but has evil eyes?

I asked ChatGPT, is this true. It said yes it's written in Brand's My Booky Wook.

"He describes how the family dog, Topsy, had previously been allowed to sleep in his bed, until his mother's boyfriend banned her from going upstairs.
Brand says he would deliberately entice Topsy upstairs, then turn on her and kick her back down. Afterwards, he would go downstairs, cuddle her and pretend to be horrified that somebody had mistreated her.
He even describes his behaviour as becoming Mr Hyde, and recounts a friend's observation that Topsy must have thought she lived with two different people: one cruel, the other kind.
The account appears in his own published memoir, not simply in an allegation made by somebody else. It has recently resurfaced in the press. "

I had a friend that was obsessed with him, I never had any idea why.

He used to do stand up shows in prisons (the irony) and she volunteered at one and had a poster of the event which for some reason was in her bathroom.

She had the most stunning eyes. Anyway, she was in a pub in the middle of the day in Hoxton getting a coffee while doing some work. Russell Brand walks in and she looks up, and he comments on her eyes. She said thanks, they started chatting. And she mentions the poster in her bathroom. Russell Brand makes his excuses to leave and so she said she would walk with him!

As she was walking with him she keeps talking about the poster in her bathroom AND ASKS HIM IF HE WOULD SIGN IT!!! As in, come to her bathroom and sign it. She managed to freak out Russell Brand because apparently he said 'it was lovely talking to you' and then said he forgot something and made his way as fast as he could away from her. She outweirded Russell Brand.

He had some charity thing in Hackney, I think it was a restaurant or something, which she then went to and he saw her and nodded and left! I have not spoken to her for the best part of 10 years, and genuinely wonder if she believes the allegations, or worse, wished she was one of the women.

Anyway, I never fancied him, I always thought he was a repellant cretin.

Side note, I used to go to Spitalfield market as it was close to work with my colleague to look at the antiques, lets say we stood out as it attracted an older crowd. It was around the time of Sachsgate. We both saw an older gentleman walking along and when we left the market my colleague asked if he saw who that was. Andrew Sachs!

MN used to be rife with women fancying him and thinking he would be amazing in bed. Most of those seem to be keeping very quiet at the moment.
Then, there were a few that clearly knew him, knew what he was really. They got shouted down.

What is strange is that he's sure he is superior to most people and seems to be totally unaware that anything he's done is wrong .That's what I find unnerving.

I was one of the people that posted about the dog. That poor animal. He wrote in one of his memoirs " If this is what I'm telling you, can you imagine what has been left out". I genuinely hope there are some animal lovers in prison that coax him to the top of the stairs and kick him down them, repeatedly.

He had a chat show with an audience, he was funny, very articulate.. that was long ago. I didn’t fancy him but we watched his show and laughed. His promiscuity to me was very unattractive. I lost interest in him quickly, the novelty wore off. He seems to me to be a horrible person and I haven’t watched him or paid him any attention for so long I can’t remember when I last saw him. I’d cross the road to avoid him. Can’t imagine why anyone would consider intimacy with him. Ugh.
