...he is rather resembling old paintings of Jesus Hmm

Am watching Graham Norton in case you hadn't guessed.

Did anyone else used to listen to his radio 2 shows? Best radio ever, ever, ever.

Lorelilee · 16/06/2012 09:07

He has that 'something'. Bet he'd be reet dirty!

CogitoErgoSometimes · 16/06/2012 09:49

YABU to find him attractive and hilarious. That whiny nasal voice...

CrispyCod · 16/06/2012 14:06

He's funny but he's also the great unwashed. I couldn't 'go there'. Just yuk!

perceptionreality · 16/06/2012 14:10

YABU - I find him very unattractive. Particularly after reading his autobiography where he admits to treating his girlfriends appalingly and spitting in one of their faces.

Katy Perry was way too good for him!

However, there are definitely some men who you know are awful, but they can switch on the charm and then you can see how they win so many poor women over - I suspect this is the case with Brand. And have seen evidence of it on one of his interviews with a female celebrity (forget who).

Nancy66 · 16/06/2012 14:19

I really fancy him. I think he's very clever and witty and the though of him being a really filthy shag is a turn on.

However I do remember those naked pics of him (from his MTV presenting days) and....err...it wasn't impressive.

Tabliope · 16/06/2012 14:21

I found his voice really irritating last night and had to turn over. Never noticed it before. Think MsKittyFane hit the nail on the head re his voice.

madonnawhore · 16/06/2012 14:21

One of my best friends works in TV production and knows someone who went on a couple of dates with him a few years ago.

He's Not A Nice Man.

hellymelly · 16/06/2012 14:24

I think he did look rather beautiful last night, even with his wolfish grin that doesn't reach his eyes. The voice though- strangely monotone, I imagine that would drive anyone mad after a couple of hours.

Nancy66 · 16/06/2012 14:27

I thought there was a bit of a spark between him and Emily Blunt

SwedishEdith · 16/06/2012 14:30

I think he and Katy Perry were pretty well-matched really - she's irritating and boring as well. I found him physically revolting last night I'm sure he's worried

Repellent and really pleased that Graham Norton managed to piss him off. Brand complaining that GN had made his mother cry with insensitive divorce questions - oh right, so it's alright to persecute Andrew Sachs for cheap radio but his mother must be treated better. Love it when these "comedians" show their true colours.

SpringHeeledJack · 16/06/2012 15:02

oooh Nancy so did I

there were viiiibes, definitely

LibrariansMakeNovelLovers · 16/06/2012 15:06

He's just got suuch a disappointing voice - so high pitched and nasal. He also seems very self-satisfied and pleased with himself all the time. If he just stood there looking beautiful and not speaking it would be fine.

MarysBeard · 16/06/2012 15:07

I think he is funny but I don't find him attractive. He looks like he doesn't wash his nob. As my mum would say "You don't know where he's been". Similarly Colin Farrell.

Krumbum · 16/06/2012 15:14

He's so sexy mmmm.

LentillyFart · 16/06/2012 15:28

RB is so vile - so unspeakably vile and unfunny - that I am quite sure that every time he rears his horribly affected unkempt head lots of little fluffy bunnies die somewhere. And the baby Jesus cries.

geegee888 · 16/06/2012 16:02

He's unattractive and very, very annoying. Apart from the words that come out of his mouth, its the nasal whiny tone that makes him particularly painful to listen to.

I hear he tried it on with Jennifer Aniston recently and she was having none of it.

I do think ladiesmen should at least have the decency to be physically attractive and charming!

perceptionreality · 16/06/2012 16:12

He tries it on with everyone!

Pancakeflipper · 16/06/2012 16:16

I watched him last night and he gave me the creeps. I had previously thought he was fun and harmless ( did like his radio shows). Trying too hard?

Krumbum · 16/06/2012 16:26

He has changed a lot since going all Hollywood, seems to have lost his edge after making so many god awful films. He should go back to just doing straight stand up. That's what's he good at, clever, insightful and bloody hilarious. He's still so sexy though Wink even after rock of ages (fucking terrible).

SpringHeeledJack · 16/06/2012 16:30

yep

totally agree

he's squandering his talent on crap Hollywood films

if he ever gets sick of it, has a bit of a crisis and wants to chill out a bit while he thinks it all through, he can always stop at ours

BigFatSpider · 16/06/2012 16:32

I think he has the most beautiful face - lose the birdsnest (like the long hair, but not so straggly) and wop on a bit of eyeliner - just beautiful.

I don't care about his voice. I wouldn't need him to talk.
