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

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

ROFL at 'He looks like he doesn't wash his nob'

He is charismatic. I find him entertaining, but he seems to veer between brilliance and complete arseholery.

He was funny at the Leveson Inquiry. I'll look for the link. Also there was a brilliant clip of him ad-libbing about a role he was preparing for in a Shakespeare play (can't remember which one, will search for that too).

I think he's really funny (big turn on) and he has the kind of look I go for. I definitely would ... Fwiw, my DH has the Jesus thing going on: NOT that this means I fancy living embodiments of art historical representations of Jesus, you understand, just that I like 'em beardy and bedraggled ...

lovebunny · 16/06/2012 17:46

prod, i did theology...

oh, yes, he's puerile and i do sincerely hope his accent is fake and he can speak properly when he's at home...but he is good looking for a youngster.

ProdigalMNer · 16/06/2012 20:37

Well, you see, I do think IABU because I know RB can (and has proven himself) to be a total twonk.

I was scathing over Sachs-gate, still can't stand "Wossy" ... he wins Irritating Twunt Award in my book.

However, just every now and again -under the influence of Wine I do think, from a shallow looks-based POV RB can do it for me Grin but as I said before, I never could as I'm a bit OCD in reality and as MArysBeardsaid he looks like he doesn't wash his nob in that regard......eeeuuuchh!

Hence the fact I've had to turn him down 18 times already, just as I advised Ms. Aniston to do, pleased to hear she took my advice Wink Grin

Sorry lovebunny for wrongly assuming art history. RB fits in better with theology given his current appearance...Smile

I am not a fan of rb but loved him on graham norton last night. Didnt like emily blunt either but after her swimming near a fish story i am a new blunt convert, for a brief amount of time.

I think brand is much mre interesting to atch when he is talking rather than watching the shite, imo, films that he has been in

RightBuggerforit · 16/06/2012 21:16

Ew, yabu! I reckon he'd be a really disappointing shag. And he looks like he smells.

catgirl1976 · 16/06/2012 21:17

I really should fancy him as on paper his my type to a T BUT

He tries too hard. So I cannot fancy him.

Shame really

throwinshapes · 16/06/2012 22:06

He WAS trying too hard on GN last night and he seemed more arrogant than he used to be (if that's possible).
Still would, though.
Hey ho. Smile

cheeseandbiscuitsplease · 16/06/2012 22:17

I have kissed him four times at his meet and greet after his stand ups. He is totally and utterly gorgeous and smells divine. He remembered me from an earlier show and said he liked my boots ;) very sexy man. Charasmatic and rather hunky in real life. Swoon......

TheNightWatch · 16/06/2012 23:15

Ive heard he's great in the sack and very calm at at peace with himself and the world.

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 17/06/2012 00:37

Did you know he's 6'1"? Wink

Course there was chemistry between him and Emily Blunt...she and Katy Perry could have been separated at birth!

catgirl1976 · 17/06/2012 08:15

Hmmm I didn't know he was 6'1......that does help

But he still tries too hard which makes him deeply uncool and therefore I would have to turn him down

(Realises RB will, of course, be devastated by this news) Grin

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 11:14

I didnt pick up on any chemistry between them at all. More between him and the singer. Emily is quite boring, isnt she?

Mrsjay · 17/06/2012 11:35

YABU to fancy him he is vile watched him on graham norton and he looked like he was having imaginary sex with himself I spose whatever rocks your boat though i would imagine R B exploding at the thought of him being compared to jesus Grin

PandaWatch · 17/06/2012 12:22

Emily Blunt looked like it was taking all her restraint not to jump him on GN!

I heavily resisted liking RB but the more I see him the more I like him. Seeing his double act with Alec Baldwin in Rock of Ages pretty much sealed the deal.

However, he has the look of a sociopath whenever he smiles.

Sidge · 17/06/2012 12:29

He does nothing for me.

I imagine him being a crap shag, the sort that expects the woman to orgasm by sheer virtue of being in bed with Russell Brand, then leaves mascara gunk all over your pillow.

LadyMamaLard · 17/06/2012 12:40

Intellectually I know he is unfunny, puerile and unattractive. But I am so asmhamed to admit that there is a little bit of me deep (very deep) down that just wouldn't be able to resist. Damn it!

Mrsjay · 17/06/2012 12:53

Yes sidge he probably doesnt think he needs to do anything just smile and thrust in the right direction , and declaring you have just been BRANDED Hmm

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 13:20

Ah, but you are all wrong Wink I know a very intelligent young lady who had been around abit who met him whilst she was doing charity work at the other side of the world Im trying not to out anyone and stumbled accross him, literally. He is totally sober and chilled and, unaffected, and, by all account fab, in the hut sack. So, there.

MarkGruffalo · 17/06/2012 14:20

26-28 then
26 would
28 wouldn't

I so would. After a Wine anyway
Lucky number 27

Why Is He Not A Nice Man? Have read both autobiogs, where does your friend fit in them? Wink

For those who missed it...

ripsishere · 17/06/2012 14:29

I'd give him a whirl as long as he didn't talk.
I am a complete hypocrite though as is he. It's OK to phone Manuel and talk about his GD, but Graham making his mum cry isn't on?
He is very spirtual, he was introducing HH the Dalai Lama yesterday.
Complete conundrum

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 16:09

My friend didnt feature in his life!! it was a spritiual meeting of mind and bodies, by all accounts. For one night only. It would be pre his marriage, and post the drugs and drink.

Mrsjay · 17/06/2012 18:21

you mean they just shagged thenightwatch Grin

SwedishEdith · 17/06/2012 18:44

I didn't pick up any chemistry either between EB and him and Paloma Faith was pretty good at making him seem a little ridiculous.

But his clothes! They're meant to look casually and stylishly thrown on but they will have all been carefully designed and be very expensive (and still vile). That is not remotely cool.
