    WTF!!! Superstar??? Russel Brand was mediocre … Actor? Guitarist? Singer? Director? What was he? Can’t really remember.

    Nevermind superstar, who thought misconduct was a good word??

    He’s not accused of shouting loudly outside a pub.

    Superstar? Is this a humorous community? Shitpost community? WTF. The Guardian article doesn’t use that term, it is OP’s own.

    Have we been manipulated? Was it a ploy to get comment engagement?

        When I think of superstar, I think of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland or something. Russell Brand at his peak was nowhere near this but always kind of on the fringe as C±tier and something of some weird cult-leader wannabe from my perception. Idk, I don’t really pay attention to pop culture tmz stuff.

          I think it’s a relative term. I can obviously see disagreeing with it, but if people in several countries watched your movies, I don’t think “superstar” is a big stretch. At least not at his peak.

    I will not stand by while these lies keep propagating.

    Tap for spoiler

    He is not and never was a “superstar”. There. J said it.

    They say it’s the ones you least expect, but I always thought this guy was creepy.

    And yeah, superstar? Nah, at best he’s just some eccentric Internet personality. He may have done a couple films, but he’s more just some character than anything else.

      He was in a handful of somewhat knows movies in the 00’s. He has never been anything special.
