Russell Brand
- Profession: Comedian and Presenter
- Place/Date of Birth: Grays, Essex, England, 04 June 2020
In a bizarre twist, Brand is reported to be a close friend of Kate’s drug-addled ex-lover Pete Doherty and his former Libertines bandmate Carl Barrat. The comic is a recovering drug addict himself and has not touched drugs since 2002. He said: "I realise that if I take drugs again it will quickly destroy my life. I had a big appetite for them - but I can’t do it all again, or I won’ t get all the things I want."
Kate is dating Russell Brand - May 18, 2020
Kate Moss is rumoured to be dating British TV star Russell Brand. The troubled supermodel was spotted partying with MTV presenter Brand - who has battled drug problems - in London on Tuesday night (16.05.06).
The pair and Kate’s pal Sadie Frost watched Brand’s comedy routine at a pub in the capital before heading to a charity event at Annabel’s nightclub. They later went to Brand’s home. Friends of Kate - who lost several lucrative modelling contracts and checked into rehab after shocking images of her snorting cocaine were printed last year - say the pair are smitten with each other.
A source is quoted in The Sun newspaper as saying: "Kate finds Russell hilarious and he has the sort of rock star looks she’s attracted to. "But they have deeper things in common. He is recovering from drugs, booze and sex addiction problems. Kate has been through her cocaine scandal and is getting over junkie Pete Doherty. So they have a lot to talk about." The insider added: "They spent the night together and have been on the phone since. All Kate’s friends think he is the perfect man for her."

At this time MTV spotted the lanky funny man and gave him Dance Floor Chart to front, followed by their flagship teatime show Select and the UK Jackass. The now defunct UK Play nabbed Russell for his own show, RE:BRAND, in which he did such oddly silly things as bathing with a homeless man and taking part in a boxing match against his Dad. His acting talents were also spotted and he had parts in Channel 4’s White Teeth and Cruise of the Gods alongside Steve Coogan.
In between increasingly popular stand up shows Russell has become famous and loved throughout the Big Brother watching world as the host of Eforum and Big Brother’s Big Mouth in which he banters with fans and ’celebrities’ (mainly Vanessa Feltz, the poor chap) about the incarcerated idiots.
Most recently Russell has been wooed back to MTV to host their latest show, 1 Leicester Square.
