Russell Brand on Rove Sunday 15 March 2009 HQ

[@SIRDWIGHTKS]

I actually think this is one of Russell's funniest interviews, the tiredness makes him slightly more reserved and funnier rather than going over the top.

[@Aman1012]

He's knackered. But Jet lag is the closest he gets to a buzz

[@dannydorko7075]

I notice that he says mate a lot if he's irritated.

[@aaronzack8072]

No mate,he looks depressed

[@slowloris]

I cannot get enough of this interview, I've watched it at least 10 times and already commented at least twice, but this is one of Russell Brands best interviews. He is a king of improvised comedy and I envy him greatly. And right now I'm starting to think that I'm turning into an obsessed fan who will probably be in psychiatric care before the year is though.

[@fitzfitzchivalry4538]

Lol, still into this fucking pervy sex offender? 😂😂😂

[@ashlee22559]

"Its correct but it ain't right, I'm exhausted" "What it is Rove, I'm not allowed to take drugs anymore. Jet lag is the closest thing I get to a buzz" :) He's so good I just love Russell!

[@zombiegirl626]

i love how zac efron is just randomly there.

[@Bestayyy]

he is so unbelievably quick thinkin! he comes up with classic lines faster than any one ive ever seen

[@Rhosnesni]

Even when incredibly lagged, he's still the quirkiest guy in the studio. A real talent.

[@anetchi]

what a gorgeous person that Russell is!! I'm filled to the gills with love and admiration for him : )

[@wendyanderson2670]

He's one of those people who are in touch with another realm. Another reality. Your everyday other person just exists on this planet only. Brainwashed conformists!

[@upendwar]

Efron's thinking, I will just laugh when everyone does, so they don't find out !

[@anetchi]

That is so sweet!! I remember discovering Russell Brand, it was around July 25th 2008 haha!! (I know I'm a major nerd/creeper!) Since then, I've watched his Ponderland shows, read his Booky Wook, become inspired to look up and learn new words- Russell is bloodly brilliant with language. Also I've listened to a lot of his old Radio 2 and Radio 6 podcasts : ) He is perfectly silly, lovely, creative and FUNNY!

[@Taty73]

This man is pure genius. I love him so much!

[@jackbrown4120]

Are you still here.

[@Kategan]

She isn't :(

[@SIRDWIGHTKS]

One of Russells best interviews.

[@lingnemesis]

Russell Brand is a total riot. Full of love and joy!

[@universalbarber1038]

Rove always gives me the best nostalgia.I was in year 7 in 2009 and miss the fuck out of this era (2007-2011). Movies,tv and music was peaking around then!! Aussie,TV, movies in general and music was just so much better back then.

[@ronjamay]

I love how he uses the interviewer's name in every interview

[@wendyknox-leet1034]

A brilliant wonderful man. He gives so much.

[@NewParadigmChannel]

99% of the time Russell outshines EVERYONE~*~ Makes almost everyone seem boring and NORMAL

[@shazanali692]

I remember this episode, I remember how boring the Zac Efron interview was and then when Russel got there it was laughter forever

[@kaisergrendel]

Real life Jack Sparrow with no script

[@pinkmusiicluva]

Zac Effron looks SO plain when Russell's in the room :)

[@BaileyMakesVideos]

He might be the funniest person ever just being his natural self.

[@sweetlouis123456]

russell brand is brilliant. love him

[@anid6413]

So dreamy *sigh*...I can listen to him speak all day everyday :)

[@vlopez8276]

i love and adore how Rove laughs.

[@johnhart8856]

the one thing i got from this interview is "don't eat snacks at an orgy"

[@Niai123]

zac efron is like, duuur whats going on hes got the looks but no brain lol

[@heartx3jess]

Oh god, he's awesome. he's a genius.

[@kimiquinn08]

thats y i love him!!! he also did a jack sparrow swagger when he walked on the show! no one else i no sees the similarity! love him!!!

[@pdaervo]

I know, he makes everything sound beautiful :D

[@iSaetanic]

Quite true, I love his style of comedy.

[@MarkMash17]

awesome, I missed this on tv - glad it's on youtube. He's great!

[@BrotherTree1]

russell brand was on fiery form this day. absolute VINTAGE FORM here. Old Rus' at his best here.

[@adamquin07]

Russell Brand is a funny comedian. He is more intellectual than alot of comedians. Alot of people dont find him funny because they dont understand him. He is hilarious though

[@bec12e]

Awesome interview, very funny. Great quality, cheers

[@pradawallflower]

EFFING. HILARIOUS. I LOVE THIS GUY

[@CarpetStainRemover]

I love how they put russel brand and zac efron on the same show xD

[@bexsee]

3:40-3:44 Zac is confused. Amazing interview. Love Rove! I wish it was shown in the UK.

[@Isolus456]

"I'd like to apologise to the ant community." :)

[@cutepenguinz]

before i found out about him I always wondered what Katy perry saw in him. Now i realize she's got taste.

[@Timmeh7]

Thanks, Captain Insular.

[@jada10]

such a good interview so funny

[@Slam_24]

Bro, what is this couch? Zac, Hamish and Andy... incredible

[@karljohnston1936]

Zac Efron is like, i may as well just become a woman. Oh wait. I already am

[@brianmilligan1787]

He is so quick with his answers In detail Superb . Hard to believe he had all those addictions So Sharp Quick Witted Role Model For Most Interviewers He Knows What To Say What To Ask At A Pin Drop.

[@jimsmith1820]

i am so happy there are more poeple out there who agree

[@dnswallow]

When he talked about the Beagle and said "its smelled so much of its own arse, how it could detect drugs is a mystery to me".....i absolutely lost it, i nearly choked! lol

[@ed1ss]

Who the fucking hell is Zack Effron? Long live Russ!

[@yolo22]

there are so many clever, funny bits in this interview. lol

[@BlueEyedBambina]

I like this! Hadn't heard of ROVE before, being in the UK an' all. He's a friendly little thing

[@olincka]

lol, i like him even more when he's tired :D..

[@asorbichistidine385]

rove's laugh is so contagious and hilarious.

[@Channel.Dave.]

Aha. Zac effron looks so intimidated in the presence of such a relentlessly cool man.

[@2Woopwoop]

The mans a comedic enigma!!

[@jotunmarty]

love it when he says the americans give him some money and he holds his hands out - so naturally funny

[@swatkins246]

zac looks so out of his element and awkward

[@kiely4561]

Well he was fresh off the set of high school musical thrown onto a chat show with Russell Brand, wouldn’t you? Lol

[@yvetteclaire]

I think Zac is just in awe. I bet he's thinking "Maybe I shouldn't have denied it when people said I was gay cause now there's no way back in!" Russ is one of few people who make such long and technical words sound so hot. He is so smart, you can tell just how quick as a whip he is.

[@rose16662]

I love him

[@hyperchipmunk12]

he was a guest that night as well

[@heelrunner]

This guy is bloody brilliant!

[@StadiumArcadium1234]

omg, i was in stiches the whole time, i think tht his accent is the thing tht makes the shit he says so fuckin funny

[@CleverDjembe]

It goes beyond thinking. Instinct.

[@tbagnfacefuker266]

That guy has an infectious smile haha

[@TaylerKatyCat]

I love Russell -3

[@MissSamiexx]

its not easy mate...people think i look suspicious.. LOL

[@britainfan4lyf]

i love this dude!~

[@Ra3D]

sweet thanx it appeared after i clicked australia

[@iheartheenim]

that height! i love russell!

[@RisenOnFire]

iheartheenim misleading cos rove is vertically challenged.

[@benrelaxedguy]

haha look at ol rus' ego! i love how constructed his persona is. And i love that people fall for it 99% of us just dont know the true nature of self beyond the veil of outwardly constructed mind made social persona

[@magellenic]

Strangely I think what works so well for Russel is how transparent and aware he is of his “ego”, thusly making it a very gentle process to assimilate his true self. He also seems to really see other people clearly and this makes him seem more transparent than ego-ic.

[@coolbrett]

Was something wrong with Zac Efron or something? He looked very nervous

[@emzdiz]

SO AGREE. I'm in Wellington but I'd totally fly up.

[@cheesedominiccusack2]

what smith song is played/ morrissey song to introduce him.

[@emphaticapathy]

'You earned that sip of water'

[@Lilian_hall]

ROVE'S BEST SHOW!!!

[@BloodyEyes91]

Usually they save the bigger stars for last though to keep the viewers watching.

[@Annie1962]

I could see the top of Zac's hair go 'pfoof' as Russell's words went over his head.

[@megan8rox]

I love him!!! SOO FUNNY!! YAY HES IN pirates of the caribean!!! YAY!!!

[@pdaervo]

Zac, Hamish, Andy, Rove AND Russel all in one room?!?! *faints*

[@clairep1234]

haha, when mif says how do you get shagger of the year, zac leans forward like he wants to know the answer bahahah x

[@wynngoes]

omg he's a genius!

[@angeonline]

even jet lag didn't stop him being a class entertainer.

[@Beanjast]

As soon as that woman asks how to get the award Zac starts paying wayyyyy more attention lol.

[@MissHiltonxx]

He's not really randomly there. On Rove the previous guests sit down on the couch and stick around for the rest of the show.

[@Ra3D]

nah i ddnt know that the worldwide option pops up after i clicked on australia i just thought youtube was doin another change becoz they've done so many bad changes.

[@bsf92]

He's a natural!

[@rachelmacc]

russel brand... charming man :D

[@AlfTheTroll]

Russell is a fucking amazing linguist, I'd love to see him reading poetry.

[@ceagle92]

wats the song when brand comes out

[@wendyanderson2670]

He's rocking an afro and straight hair,,, at the same time !

[@gradepending1]

i love him... he is weirdly good looking. lol. What was the song playing in the begining when Russell came out?

[@jackbrown4120]

Morrissey International playboy... I know its been 11 years but there you go.

[@JJBeeBop]

Wow, at least Zac Efron looks entertained/interested in anything he's got to say.

[@kurtchat]

but kevin rudd p.m is a segment not a special guest!!!

[@Iscamog]

Good ol Russ :>

[@spunglass]

OMG RUSSEL DOMINATES

[@sting8209]

this is great! very funny. Russ looks tired from all his travels.

[@TheJanah1234]

Russell Brand and Hamish Blake. NICE!!!

[@dtp25]

that is by far the funniest comment on youtube.

[@luvskincare]

Lol I don't think he even saw zac efron. zac was sitting there like a confused mouse

[@rootykazooty351]

[@Zetsuke4]

[@EchoBravo370]

[@quizzabella]

Russell was on great form here - poor Zac Efron looked totally shellshocked.
