He's on the One Show talking nineteen to the dozen about nothing in particular and looking like he needs a good wash.

What on earth do women like Katy Perry and Jemima Khan see in him? Just don't get the appeal AT ALL

I think he's odious.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 27/01/2017 19:25

He's an unfunny twat who isn't as clever as he thinks he is!

GoesDownLikeACupOfColdSick · 27/01/2017 19:26

He's a dick but he has a gorgeous face underneath all the hair and grime!

needsahalo · 27/01/2017 19:26

He's clever and funny (assuming you like his humour) and there is a sparkle in his eye. I like his ability to shift from the inane to more serious in a second and his ability to see the bigger picture, from all angles is impressive. I don't find him attractive at all but can see the attraction, if that makes sense.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/01/2017 19:27

I would. Wink

I think they might be emotionally damaged? He is a bit of an idiot imo. Oh and yes, he needs a good wash.
I imagine he could launch a relentless charm Hmm offensive until they forget how annoying he is?

reikizen · 27/01/2017 19:27

He is nowhere near as clever or insightful as he thinks he is. And he dOes need a good wash, the mockney twat.

HolisticAssassin · 27/01/2017 19:28

Is he not now a respectable partner to Kirsty Gallagher's dsis and a loving father to a two month old?

SheSparkles · 27/01/2017 19:32

I always think if you spent any time in his company you'd come away feeling you need a good scrub with a wire brush and dettol

GuinefortGrey · 27/01/2017 19:35

Armysal I totally agree with your choice of the word "odious". Describes him perfectly!

AnitaPallenbergsKnees · 27/01/2017 19:36

I think there are lot more odious men out there than Russell Brand, I think he has a certain something.

SmileEachDay · 27/01/2017 19:37

I'm with Ilostit. Although I'm going first.

Maybe it's an age thing because I probs lost it in the early 90s too Grin

KatherinaMinola · 27/01/2017 19:37

He's physically repellent. Not to mention the behaviour (prank calls to Rape Crisis, forcing that wardrobe girl to strip, etc etc).

But then Charles Saatchi still manages to pull, doesn't he? I guess money has something to do with it.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 27/01/2017 19:38

He thinks he's an intellectual but if he got any further up his own ass he would never get out

LunaLoveg00d · 27/01/2017 19:40

He's not physically repellent in the way someone like Donald Trump is physically repellent, but he's got a very weasly face, stringy hair and doesn't appear to have changed his clothes or had a shower since about 2002.

He's repulsive.

I imagine he's pretty filty though. Which ain't a bad thing.

But no.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 27/01/2017 19:40

Filthy obvs.

SmileEachDay · 27/01/2017 19:41

Woah...what rape crisis prank? What wardrobe girl?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/01/2017 19:41

Grin at smile. I think he lost it in the 90's too so maybe we get his absurd dark sense of humour. Wink

alltouchedout · 27/01/2017 19:43

I'd shag him, I bet he's as kinky as fuck.

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 27/01/2017 19:43

He makes me clench my fists and my fanny. I hate him. Like, total, all out hatred. I find him unattractive to look at and his confidence, backed up by nothing (it would seem) makes him seem like an A level student waxing lyrical about the ways of the world. Proper mansplainer.

Ugh.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 27/01/2017 19:43

He did prank calls on a radio show I think with Chris Evans or something? He was possibly on drugs at the time.

Shockers · 27/01/2017 19:43

I find his stringyness quite alluring. I probably would (but might have to stuff my socks in his gob first).

surferjet · 27/01/2017 19:44

He's very attractive & charismatic - & rich & famous.
Probably why he's fighting women off.

SmileEachDay · 27/01/2017 19:45

Hm. YY about the humour Ilostit

I'm on the fence now. I hate Chris Evans and I hate prank phone calls.
