Russell Brand Documentary Reveals How Katy Perry Marriage Shaped His New Worldview
And it seems Russell Brand always had doubts about his compatibility with Katy Perry, revealing in a new documentary that he found the pop princess” lifestyle “vapid, vacuous and plastic’. He’s already been caught saying a few pretty nasty things about his ex on camera!
The documentary – which, like Katy’s was filmed during the 2010 to 2012 marriage – reveals that everything changed for Brand after a trip to Africa when he realized the two had different values.
“That’s the very sea we’re swimming in¿ ‘Oh, who’s he?”
“You married Katy Perry”, a little girl can be seen telling Brand in the trailer, to which he jokes, “Shut up about that!”
Russell also mocked his wife during a stand-up routine and admitted to his friend, Stephen Merchant, that he didn’t think their marriage would last.
He told his the actor: “It’s definitely good I’m with someone I love. But it’s not a resolution to anything spiritual”, he says. “This is my suspicion, that at a few point, to be happy, I’m going to have to walk away”.
Um, it’s kind of insane that he’d say something about that – especially when they were still married! “It’s doing my head in!’ And I was like, ‘Just let her watch the f****** film”.
As we saw in her flick Katy Perry: Part Of Me, the relationship didn’t end on the best note: a text from Brand announcing that he was filing for divorce.
“So, I stand with her for my daughters and their daughters, and beyond what time gives me”, Katy captioned a section of the photo.
