What the hell is Russel Brand up to now?

His page randomly popped up on my FB feed. There he is dressed a a Jesus with a white loin cloth, standing in a lake supposedly baptising someone and asking whether he needs permission to do so.
I still haven’t forgiven him or Johnathan Ross for that radio phone call prank.
what an absolute wanker he is.

He’s getting himself talked about on Mumsnet apparently so a win there.

AnonyLonnymouse · 28/09/2024 08:09

Cleaning his reputation perhaps?

I am amazed that he got away with any of it for so long.

Thfrog · 28/09/2024 08:09

Best to ignore him

WeAreNotCookingTheSpoon · 28/09/2024 08:11

What’s happening about all the sexual assault allegations? All gone very quiet

Yousay55 · 28/09/2024 08:27

I haven’t seen that image of him dressed like that, but can only hope his leap into Christianity is genuine. He appears very enthusiastic about his new found faith. It’s so difficult to tell if what he says is what he believes & I don’t suppose we’ll ever know.

BigButtons · 28/09/2024 08:36

I don’t care what religion he has discovered this time. It’s the ridiculous dressing up in a loin cloth. He looks like something out the life of Brian.

Well do you think the same with other rather middle age religious attires featuring prominently everywhere these days? He does not need your permission or approval to change religion.

AnImaginaryCat · 28/09/2024 08:50

Didn't know anything about Brand going religious, so I've just Google searched him under News. It appears he was baptised in the River Thames by Bear Grylls.

How very odd.

Least he's forgiven now of all the bad things he's done in the past (having washed away his sins). Sorted.

As for the comment about asking persimmon. I can only imagine thas humorous banter about this ridiculous new idea of consent being important.

Molly546 · 28/09/2024 09:00

He's a complete narcissist IMO. And god does he like the sound of his own stupid voice.

Imalongtimepostingmum · 28/09/2024 09:02

The baptism was months ago.

Emmanuelll · 28/09/2024 09:02

I can't stand him.

Nothing about this man is genuine.
Publicity, publicity, notice me, notice me.

Haroldwilson · 28/09/2024 09:09

He's trying to sponge money from US right wing evangelicals.

Davros · 28/09/2024 09:17

He's an addict, religion is his latest drug

MrsMoastyToasty · 28/09/2024 09:18

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!.

rubeexcube · 28/09/2024 09:31

I used to love him. I’m ashamed to say that now.

Of course it's not genuine, he got accused of sexual assault so he lost most of the left wing followers he was grifting from so now he's trying to tap the religious right who may be a bit more forgiving of SA as long as he dunks his head under water...

This. He's also happy to believe in a 'supreme being'. Other people will think that's god. As far as Russell is concerned it's himself .

Puddingcakes · 28/09/2024 09:44

Can’t believe anyone would be naive enough to think this is genuine. He’s just trying another angle to make money off idiots, and conveniently move publicity off the sexual assault allegations. He’s a wee shite.

BigButtons · 28/09/2024 10:04

He is such an awful man. Spouts bollocks that no one can understand. He’s a nasty, nasty piece of work.

He wasn’t dressed as Jesus in a loincloth 🤦🏽‍♀️ more accurate to say he was being John the Baptist….

He was baptizing a friend unexpected and unplanned so had stripped down to his underpants as he needed to keep his clothing fry for an event, so it was in fact tighty-whitey underpants.

Compash · 01/10/2024 11:43

'Hey Russell, you can be baptised, but it has to be in the River Nowhere by the Rev Anne Onymous, just like a normal person and with no publicity.' Still think he'd bother? 🙄

RugbyMom123 · 01/10/2024 11:45

Super weird. Swear it was with the boys scout tv wilderness guy. Is his name bear grills?

TwoShades1 · 01/10/2024 11:58

It’s not a loincloth. Just his underwear. If you have watched much of his content, seeing him in underwear isn’t something new. No I don’t follow him and I don’t really care what he’s doing. I used to be a fan but quite over him these days. I don’t think he’s trying to be Jesus either.

BigButtons · 01/10/2024 16:00

What man wears white underpants? Russle Brand- that’s who.
Just incase he gets unexpectedly caught standing in a river needing to baptise someone- I mean- you never know do you? Life throws us many curve balls.
So best make sure your underpants are tight and white.
Then from a distance he will look like some loin clothed figure from the life of Brian.
