    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.

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

      Actor. Quite funny back in the day actually. Much my type of funny and eccentric. Intellectual seeming, to me at least.

      Still is an eccentric and interesting personality IMO. Shame about all of this. Shame on him.

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

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

    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 known movies in the 00’s. He has never been anything special.
