Brand on Celebrity

[ed.  This has to be one of the most fascinating, articulate interviews I think I've ever seen.  Whether you care about Mr. Brand or not, it's certainly worth a look.  Who would have thought?]


I'm not a huge Russell Brand fan (I don't dislike him either, but most of his media came out after my daughter was born and I essentially embarked upon a half-decade adult TV and movie fast), but this is a remarkable interview. Brand gets some tough questions from the interviewer, and while he gets excited and even rants a little, he is consistently cogent, intelligent, and well-spoken. This is practically a master class in how to talk about celebrity while being a celebrity without sounding like a knob.
