UK comic Russell Brand on sex, drugs, rock'n'roll & 'Greek' disc Special

Controversial English comedian Russell Brand chats about portraying a rock star in 'Get Him To The Greek' (now on Blu-ray/DVD) and his own vices and lifestyle. Also new on disc: CSI, Top Gear, Scrubs, Family Guy, Magic & Bird, The Cleveland Show and more.

Movie-goers first caught a glimpse of British comedian Russell Brand portraying the outrageous, out-of-this-world and larger-than-life rock star Aldous Snow in the hilarious comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Russell Brand is back as Aldous Snow in the equally hysterical comedy Get Him To The Greek, but now in the leading man's role. Written and directed by Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and producer Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up), Get Him To The Greek is an unpredictable laugh fest featuring top-notch performances from Jonah Hill, Rose Byrne, Elisabeth Moss and Sean 'P. Diddy’ Combs. This rockin' comedy also includes cameos from music and media stars including Aziz Ansari, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Pharrel, Meredith Viera, Billy Bush, Mario Lopez, Kurt F. Loder and Paul Krugman. In this raunchy, raucous comedy sequel-of-sorts, aspiring record company exec Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) has the brilliant idea of rejuvenating the career of fading British rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) with a comeback concert at the world-renowned Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Dispatched by his boss (Sean Combs) to transport the notoriously dissolute Snow from London to L.A., Aaron has just 72 hours to wrangle the out-of-control rocker across the Atlantic. The seemingly simple assignment devolves into a thicket of groupies and parties, as Snow does his anarchic best to undermine his handler at every turn and Aaron does whatever it takes to keep his unruly charge on track. A headline-grabbing London-based, stand-up comedian, radio host, author and a favorite target of the British tabloids, Englishman Russell Brand and I sat down for a one-on-one chat after one of his stand-up performances -- just weeks after principle shooting of the film had finished -- and once again, with other members of the entertainment press in attendance, just days before Get Him To The Greek was scheduled to open in theaters across North America. The affable, funny and genuinely charming Brand talked about his experiences as an actor, resurrecting Aldous Snow, the making of Get Him To The Greek, his real-life rock buddies, his excitement over starring in the remake of Arthur (which features Helen Mirren in the role previously played by Sir John Gielgud), on remaining clean and sober, sex and his plans for worldwide comical domination.

Was one of the reasons you took the role in Get Him To The Greek was the chance for you to show off the little-seen dramatic side of your acting abilities?“Actually, no. I had assumed that the movie would be comedic throughout -- that it would be a rip-roaring, roller coaster ride of giggles, chuckles, guffaws and laughs. When I arrived on set, suddenly I was expected to do crying and shouting. Initially, I spoke to my management and said, 'Look, they're asking me to show genuine emotions. Is that in my contract?' (laughs) They then said that acting done properly encompasses a whole variety and range of emotions and by then it was too late. I'd agreed to it. So, I was forced to do it. But in retrospect, when I saw the film, I thought it was too serious. When it was going on I was thinking, 'I just wanna be saying things that are funny all the time. I don't like saying things that are not funny. But when I watched it, I think it makes me look quite cool and deep. So, thanks. That's what I was hoping for.” Did you feel any pressure to continue portraying Aldous Snow the way you played him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall?“Well, did I feel that? No, I did not feel any pressure at all. I mean, I knew there had to be some continuity because they said that they liked that character and my relationship with Jonah (Hill) that's why this film was being made. So, had I said, 'Well, now I see him as the Frenchman.' They would have quarreled with that analysis. So, I knew, yes, there had to be some continuity, but in a way this is a very distinct and separate film. I think it's different. Like has already been observed, it has a different sort of gravitas and sort of emotional intensity to it. So, I suppose what I think is this -- you know if you're a comic actor -- I'm a comic actor, that at the beginning of your career you tend to operate from a certain sphere. Let's say Jim Carrey or whatever. It's sort of like after he'd done Ace Ventura and you see The Mask, you don't think, 'What the hell is going on?!' Woody Allen or Richard Pryor or the comic actors I like -- they tend to operate within a kind of -- certainly at first, within a recognizable strata. So, I thought, 'Stay in that strata, then get out of it.' Like say, for example, I've taken all my research from Havana and put that into the part -- that I've been sort of a socialist with a glint in his eye – a romantic proper socialist from the good old days of socialism, clashing with cops and real change, sexy Shafarevich change. People would say, 'Well, this isn't appropriate.'“ What’s your favorite scene in the film -- that you’re in?“Well, that goes without saying. You needn't add that caveat. The ones I'm not in, I usually go to sleep. In any film. This is the first time I've had to stay awake for seventy percent of one. My favorite scene in the film is…” Vegas?“That is pretty funny, isn't it? That furry war stuff. Let's go for that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.” I’m not putting words in your mouth or anything am I?“Why stop at words? Yeah, that was kinky, eh? There's one bit where my bum was out. But I had to take my trousers and pants down in the show and they were shooting from behind me -- the cameraman, Casey, right? The camera's there and I pull my trouser and pants down and act like I didn't mean to pull my underpants down. It was a mistake. And I carry on acting, trying my best to do good acting and the cameraman, Case, in the middle of the scene, in this sensitive close situation went, 'Can we stop now 'cause this is horrible.' Talking about my bottom. I felt shy about it.”

Did you hang out with any rock stars to get some inspiration in playing Aldous? “I do hang out with some rock stars just because they're my friends. Noel Gallagher (Oasis), he's one. I've hung out with Pete Doherty (The Libertines) a bit. Amy Winehouse, she's my mate. She's more blues, I suppose. Carl Barat, he's a mate of mine, and contributes to the soundtrack. So, I count some rock stars among my friends. Noel Gallagher, especially, is a mate of mine. And from him I learned this kind of inherent nonchalance that rock stars have. Like, I go to him -- I was so troubled by this nonchalance I took to inquiring as to why it was going on. 'Why are you so nonchalant?' Then followed a brief time where I explained the word nonchalant. No, really, Noel Gallagher's a brilliant man and poet, but I did have to explain that word. And then he said, 'It's 'cause I know that anywhere I go, no matter what happens to me, no matter what people say, as long as I've got the guitar and the ability to play, people will pay ten quids to come and see me.' So I thought, 'Oh, that's good.' So, all this person that knows that people will pay money -- that he's got his gift. Where as a comedian, or whatever, you tend to be more neurotic about stuff like that.” You must be really excited about playing Arthur in the remake? “Very excited. I adore Dudley Moore. I’m from the same place as Dudley Moore. I’m from Essex, like he is, I have a background not dissimilar to him, and in fact, Arthur is the film which made Dudley Moore a massive star. I love Dudley Moore, he’s amazing. He’s just like Peter Cook, because he embodied something – his incredible style, his incredible wit and his refusal to accept any type of normalcy. There was something triumphant. He epitomized a new brand of satire and a erudite sexy kind of comedy at the time.” Did you ever worry about getting lost in a part like Arthur? Can an excessive role like Arthur every lead you down a dangerous path and make you once again start drinking excessively?“I don’t drink or take drugs anymore. No, not for a few years now. I was a raging alcoholic. When and where I can go too far is with stand-up comedy. On the stage, with an audience is sort of where I push things a little too far. Live work is where it can get risky. When I’m making a film, of course, I focus, do research and take it very seriously. But at this stage in my career, I’m playing parts where I an drawing quite heavily on my own experiences and not having to put on fake mustaches and hats. So, to tell you the truth my sobriety is not in jeopardy or grave danger.” So, you can live life without alcohol...“That’s right, because I couldn’t live life with it.” (laughs) Was there an incident that made you stop? Did you experience an epiphany? “No, not really. I was just getting in a lot of trouble with the police and getting quite seriously addicted to heroin and crack, and I had six months before jail, prison or death.”

And you were smart enough to choose sobriety. “Actually, I had to be forced into rehabilitation, because I thought I might be able to cope with jail, escape from prison and cheat death. But I was forced by people, stronger than I was at the time.” Is there anyone you regret sleeping with and is there anyone you hope to regret sleeping with? “I don’t have any regrets about sleeping with anyone. No one. I don’t function in that sort of way. I have faith on being guided by benevolent forces that want only good for me. So, anything, even at the time seems negative or difficult I know is only a stepping stone to what will ultimately be a powerful and enlightening experiences And I hope, in the future, to have no regrets about anywhere else I visit.” You haven’t given up on women, obviously, have you? “No, no, and I never will.” Are there any scenes that didn’t make it into Greek that you liked? “Yeah, some good ones, man. There's a scene where we was in…me and Jonah Hill in Central Park in New York, running around dancing wearing wicked outfits. Like I was wearing my proper little shorts and a headband like a sort of fitness gear. Really cool. That's not in, unfortunately, but I think it'll be a DVD extra.” How famous do you really feel? Do you feel like a star?“Well, in England and Britain, I feel recognized, because it was a long apprenticeship. So I recognize the difference. But in terms of my ambition and what I have to achieve, I feel like I’m just starting out in America and other countries.” Would you like to be loved in America like you are in England? “Yeah, I would like that to happen everywhere.”

Is that the thought in your mind – to lead the next British Invasion?“I don’t think that we should think of it as an invasion, especially in North America, who knows what the military reaction would be. (laughs) They would probably think of me as difficult and aggressive. If there is any kind of takeover it should be peaceful and diplomatic.” Blu-ray Collector’s Edition of Get Him To The Greek Bonus Features: An unrated, never-before-seen cut of the movie and the original theatrical version of the film.
