Why did Hollywood seem to push Russell Brand really hard as a movie star for like 4 or 5 years in the late 2000’s, early 2010’s?

>forgetting Sarah Marshall
>Get Him To The Greek
>arthur
>despicable me 1 and 2

Just seems like a weird choice, he can’t act at all, or even alter his accent or mannerisms.

Was he really “popular” enough from being a British radio DJ who gets high on heroin and streaks through London, posing with his tiny shrunken penis to paparazzi photographers to warrant such investments?

He was dating Katy Perry and had a whole “rockstar” persona.

Literally every comedian had a movie in Hollywood
Even fucking artie lange

it was a better time
I'd rather him be "forced" (in like 4 movies) than new trannies or niggers getting recycled into shit every 6 months

He nailed his role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and was great in that. Hollywood just tried to squeeze what they could out of that.

Despicable Me is the only one of those I've heard of. The only thing I associate with Russell Brand is this bit from Stewart Lee.

Apart from that, all I know is that he's a rightist and a sex pest. Same thing, usually.

>delusional enough to think some star was totally going to marry her
I don't think they even think that. They just want to be a hot young thang with all the attention. But that always ends. And when it does they lie to cope and get what little attention/sympathy they can. If they had the balls they'd just admit the truth:

>I did it for me. I liked it, I was good at it, and I was really... I was alive

>exploitative
she """exploited""" him for fame and money and a nice celebrity lifestyle and he """exploited""" her for that underage pussy.
he could have fucked a old hag and she could have fucked a broke 16 year old, but they were both happy with the transaction.

Agreed. I miss those days. I watched some of his show Ponderland or something too and was fascinated with the idea that across the world Brits were watching TV like that. It was really unlike anything we had in America.

I honestly can’t think of any actor as bad as him in recent memory
He was never funny

Dont forget his verbose and pseudointellecgual ramblings that absolutely worked on Katy petty. They know are being used on rubes to sell gifts for maga and trump.

16 is actually legal in the UK. You can be an 80 year old man dating and fucking a 16 year old and it’s legal.

The only exceptions are if they’re people in positions of authority over them. Specifically

Teachers and school staff
Care workers in children’s homes
Foster carers
Youth justice / detention staff
Doctors or hospital staff responsible for young people
Social workers supervising minors
Sports coaches (regular coaching/training)
Religious instructors or leaders regularly supervising youths

Weirdly employers are NOT automatically covered in this which is one position of authority you’d immediately want to cover

I don’r really know why the UK still has it at 16 because everybody there acts like it’s illegal anyway

Dont tell zoomers in america that because they will flip their shit! I cant believe how rising stars were destroyed because of going out with slightly you ger girls. The guy from achievement hunter and Adam kovic by proxy were kicked out of eden because of allegations, that douche Chris Delia had schuab crying on camera because he talked to girls on snapchat! Unbelievable! Its like im taking crazy pills!
