    At once brilliant and wild, Russell Brand regales Larry with stories of fatherhood, opens up about battling addiction, and offers his incisive take on politics in this fascinating interview.

      the guy was so exploited as a young fella and he wasn't all that nice himself as is to be expected with his addictive personality
      people who pour scorn on him must miss the honesty that has been a constant for Russ since forever - as you said Trina, he wants to grow and is always doing his best, can't knock that, its refreshing and I used to find him grating as all hell (when he started hosting Big Brother)
