Russell Brand Talks Date Nights and His “Cuddly Side”
Landing slots in multiple magazines as he promotes his upcoming movie “Arthur”, Russell Brand is featured in the April issue of Redbook magazine.
Hitting newsstands March 15, the British funnyman opens up about topics including marriage, date nights with Katy Perry, his upcoming movies and his “cuddly side”.
Highlights from Brand’s interview with Redbook are as follows:
You’re in the remake of the comedy Arthur, about a man who gives up a vast fortune for love. Would you do that?
I would never give up love; I’d definitely give up money. I feel quite lucky — now that I’m married, I have this great love and partnership in my life that is the most important thing to me. I also happen to be married to a girl who is quite a lot of fun. And I’m discovering how lovely permanence and building an ongoing relationship can be, rather than always thinking, What’s next?
Sounds like marriage has tamed you a bit.
I think I was ready for it. If you’re wild, like a wild animal, marriage won’t contain you. I think that’s how a lot of people get into trouble. It’s sort of like someone who isn’t toilet-trained — this is the kind of thing that will compromise most marriages.
Katy has said she plans dates with you months in advance because you’re both so busy. What’s a great date, given your chaotic schedules?
The thing that constantly surprises people is how absolutely ordinary our relationship is. If you take away the things that glisten on the surface, like fame, our dates are really no different from yours or anyone else’s. Dinner and a movie!
