Russell Brand on getting advice from Moz

Rising Star: Russell Brand - Access Hollywood

he talks about morrissey giving him advice on the role at the very end. thought you'd enjoy moz's advice.

Excerpt:

In addition to his talents, Brand proved he’s in acting for the long haul, going method and seeking advice from real rock stars before taking on the role.

“I sought the advice of Morrissey from the Smiths [and] of Noel Gallagher from the band Oasis and then I just used my mind,” he explained. “Noel is a great wit… I said, ‘Come on, ‘How do I make this rock star sexy and appealing ‘I said, the [one way] is probably to keep them as far away from you and your scruff-haired brother [Oasis frontman Liam], as humanly possible. He agreed that would be the best way to characterize Aldous Snow.”

And the former Smiths frontman’s advice?

“Morrissey said maintain a sense of evasiveness and aloofness,” Brand noted.

Morrissey wasn’t aloof when he was one of the lucky few to catch the breakout star Brand’s first ever American stand-up dates in Los Angeles last week. He came to both sets (giving Brand a standing ovation each time), and Brand expects Moz to attend a screening of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” too.

So they are obviously good mates. I wonder where they hang out when Brand is in LA? I bet they get really pissed together or is Brand still a teetotaller? doubt it. Has anyone ever seen Morrissey drunk?

          I can't see why else he'd be interested in this fake aristocratic wannabee. (only copying others). I'm sorry to say, but I don't see what's so appealing about Russell Brand.

              ...that this is just a Russell Brand "routine"...? It's not 'fact', it's not 'news', it's just a rather lame satire of Liam Gallagher and Morrissey's public personae.

                Does anybody know if Russell Brand did star in one of Morrissey's music videos? It said in the news last year that he would, but I haven't heard anything more about it.

                      What upsets me is his snotty attitude, the fact he looks nowt like Morrissey obviously riles him.
                      Apart from the above factors, Liverpool scored an own goal.
