To not understand Russell Brand's success with women

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

My friend shagged him. I could tell you sOME great tales about him. Yes, he's filthy!!

queenvomit · 27/01/2017 20:56

Is Pete his bestie?

I have respect for his attitude towards addiction / sobriety.

The rest of it can fuck off thou

Tweasels · 27/01/2017 21:01

His best mate is Matthew Morgan who is a deliciously wonderful hypochondriac

And what singing said.

SingingInTheRainstorm · 27/01/2017 21:36

Peter, here's some fluffy towels, I've run you a bath, don't come out till you sparkle like Edward from Twilight!

SingingInTheRainstorm · 27/01/2017 21:36

No his bestie is a musical genius!

SingingInTheRainstorm · 27/01/2017 21:37

Sir Brand that is, not Pete

I've met Russel a number of times and he is very charming and has a gift of giving his complete attention to whoever he is talking to at the time.

He is genuinely interested in everyone and of course, for many women, that's a really attractive trait.

I'm surprised KP hasn't she's done most people ever to acquire a bit of fame. Not sure who JK is. I'm showing my age now thinking about a dude whose name I can't spell but he went out with DVO I think. I need to go on Wiki & see what some of the 80's & 90's stars are doing now.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/01/2017 21:41

Peter why don't you stop all this rock n roll nonsense and see if you can get a nice job in an office instead.

SingingInTheRainstorm · 27/01/2017 21:41

How did you meet him User?

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/01/2017 21:43

Singing don't google the London Boys. 😓

SingingInTheRainstorm · 27/01/2017 21:43

Peter your Grandmother is coming, can you fetch the bone china from the cabinet please. Ooh and the tea strainer as well. You can butter these scones. Don't you be looking at me like that boy, use the actual butter, margarine is for baking.

DramaInPyjamas

-I'd rather fancy him than bores like Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, B Cumberbatch and the like-

I really do not fancy RB, but he seems more lively and engrossing than all the above mentioned. Immensely.

Cherrysoup · 27/01/2017 21:49

Why are people saying TH/IE etc are bores? Do you know them personally?

I do not know RB personally #disclaimer but he strikes me as two people. 1=scruffy intellectual (don't think you can deny he has a brain and he's very quick) and 2=annoying twat who needs to be ignored and should give up the faux Dickensian speak.

hahahaIdontgetit · 27/01/2017 21:56

But he's thick, and that is the biggest turn off ever.

Ketchuponeverythingplease · 27/01/2017 21:57

I would screw him like the emperor's whore.

TaraCarter · 27/01/2017 21:57

My most shocking sleb goss moment was when I heard Russell Brand was currently dating his hairdresser. Yeah, I know. I can't believe he sees a hairdresser that regularly either

LunaLoveg00d · 27/01/2017 22:28

It's not just him that needs a wash, it's usually what he's wearing too. On the One Show he had this holey black thing on, think it was a jumper. He just looks so.... grubby.

Now I don't get the love for Benedict Cumberbatch either but I can see he's a good looking bloke and some women would find him attractive. I'm not seeing Russell Brand in that way at all, he has these weird sunken cheeks and just his way of speaking non-stop puts me right off.

Who would shag Trump?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/01/2017 23:00

Well hes got 5 kids. I doubt he found them in a cabbage patch. Grin

KatherinaMinola · 27/01/2017 23:02

I don't understand the whole Benedict Cumberbatch thing either, but in a "not-my-type" kind of way rather than a "hideous reptile" kind of way.

cushioncovers · 27/01/2017 23:06

He's ok there's worse out there. I don't get why people say he looks like he doesn't wash. Ok he has messy hair and stubble but that's his look. It's not because he hasn't got access to running water

honeylulu · 27/01/2017 23:06

I would. I bet he's a right dirty bastard too (dirty in a good way heh heh!!)

EachandEveryone · 27/01/2017 23:11

My sister said he smells of old fashioned soap not dirty at all. Ive never thought that he did look like he smells. Funnily Pete Doheryty definately has something about him i was surprised how tall and attractive he is. Whats he up to these days is he off the gear?

PickledCauliflower · 27/01/2017 23:13

I suspected the Katy Perry / Russell Brand marriage was a mutual publicity relationship.
