Part 1 - Russell Brand Interview 

I really think this man is one of those things in life that make me glad to be alive

I absolutely adore the way he speaks. His use of the english language is so refreshing!

People underestimate Russel's intelligence. He is so intellectually smart it's incredible. He has a very philosophical outlook on life

I do thank you so very very much for having recorded and then uploaded these splendid materials that unveil MR Russell Brand's exquisite honesty that is one of his psychological traits, we, his devotees value the most : his capacity to present himself naked to the very core unto our very eyes. Of course to count with a fellow-comedian as the interviewer here with not only the empathy but also the sensibility to address him in sincerity does make a whole lot of difference when compared with other interviews I've seen. This one the most interesting and revealing of his essence so far ( I've been guided to find, thanks ) a very truthful honest man, MR Brand is, thank you so very much º namaste

His Booky Wook was a fantastic read, i found it inspiring.

Simply lovely to listen to. I love his use of language, its so beautiful.

The most honest interview i've ever seen of Russel, loved it

two brilliant people talking together is just incredibly brilliant!

RUSSELL IS SUCH A GENIUS. He is really mellifluous with words and the language that it's almost impossible to stop listening to him!

i think this is the most honest genuine interview i've seen from anyone. its fantastic.

Thank you so much for the interview! He is brillant.

@3:18 - 3:40 This is the best description of what laughter is all about that I have ever heard. It is very profound.

TV is very underrated for the amount of knowledge you can actually get from it, that's for sure.

Very good, deep questions, and beautiful answers. Not like the usual commercial interviews where you predict what questions are going to be asked.

the way he speaks is beautiful. He uses big words and knows what hes talking about. And he talks in circles but still makes sense. Hes so pretty when hes just being himself..

the part about the kitten is brilliant - iv always wondered about it but iv never been able to articulate it so succinctly, that was awesome!!

I agree. I think this one of his best interviews because she's really lovely. Not judged,seems to get him. Very warm. I'd love it if she interviewed him agin.

i love them both so much!

Russell Brand is so fantastic. I love it that in all of the interviews I've seen him do, he always refers to the interviewer by name, seems like such a personable, nice person not to mention hilarious ;)

this is my favourite interview of russell; he is so calm and honest and not trying to sidetrack and confuse dawn french, maybe because he feels her to be his equal.

excellent interview!

He's so lovely in this interview, you really get to see a different side to him :)

Wonderful interview....thanks for this. There are plenty of people in the U.S. like me who love this guy!

The video starts of with something I've been curious of myself. How he gets his gift of language. His answer to that made me laugh :)

I met him on the premiere night of 'The Dark Knight' outside the IMAX in London. He was gracious and intelligent - conversation lasted about 10 minutes then his girl friend of around that time (the australian actress from Grudge 2) took a group photo of us.

what he said about laughing allowing death to be non-existent and unifying people: very true. very great statement!! laughter is beautiful

I had no idea how intelligent and eloquent he is with his words. It's stunning. I know he's hilarious. I've never seen this side of him though. He's just serious.

this is such a deep interveiw its so good wow xoxox

wow, this is a great interview.

I just adore him so much. "i think that laughter is a response to fear, and i think that we're all afraid of the knowledge that one day we're going to die and when you laugh, temporarily you're relieved and unburdened from the knowledge of the inevitability of death and your united by something"

I can't imagine a more next-to-ecstatic duo these days; (not forgetting French and Saunders of course!) But, I have only now learned of Russell Brand, and to Dawn interview him increases my barely-well-formed opinion of him! Dawn French lends credience to all true comedians, therefore, he must be brilliant, as I hope to learn more of immediately! From a US fan!

.. this man is such an inspiration. So deep and smart.

I really like this interview. He's very calm and sincere. I feel he's a very intelligent person who truely cares for people and likes making people laugh. It's lovely.

Fantastic interview indeed.

I love them both...(: Dawn & Russell rock!

oh Russell you make my heart beat grow faster faster! I have immense respect and so much love for him. How can you not?

Love him! And that lady is so lovely! Great interview! Thanks :)

He's surprisingly insightful

I love his personalty It is a beauty!

comedians being as observant as they are is no accident

My two favourite comedians...

Luvs me some Russell Brand and I'm an American...He's frickin' hilarious...one of the very best...keep doin' it man!

brilliant interview, what a funny man

He's so beautiful What a great interview Dawn French is a great interviewer

So nice said.

How in gods name can you dislike this video after watching it...!

Luv u Russell!!!

iv met him and shook his hand he came to people have his gig in notts!

He is so good-looking. I love hearing him talk

This guy is hilarious, I love the way he explains things LMAO!!!

if this guy had gone to oxford i'd only imagine him being the new einstein! he's brilliant, no-one like him and k perry better be bloody happy to be with a man like him

I love him! He is so smart and on top of that he is hilarious!!!

dawn and russell are legends :D

Hemingway actually said of his father "he was sentimental, and, like most sentimental people, he was both cruel and abused". Read a book, Russ

I FUCKING LOVE his reaction to "slingbacks"!

i love that bit at 6:40 so funny,he's amazingggggg

@Janusha thank you

She is great interviewer. Definetly not like the vapid regis and kellys we have here in the us. no offense to them. I think its okay to be 'surface' like them sometimes, but interviews like this really stay with you and i think he truly has wonderful insight and observations to share about life and her questions in this really bring that out. Thanks for posting.

Couldn't agree more.

See, this is why I like Russell Brand. I could see this through his bluster but noone believes me (and I'm not very good at describing what I think I can see). Thank you for posting this.

Heh, I played Fat Sam in my school's production of Bugsy Malone too. Great interview.

Same here - onto "Then Three Come At Once" :D

sometimes when you listens to someone who spews bullocks and passive aggressive sentiments it gets tiresome..but w/Russel is like listening to a music box that can be intriquing.

Interesting interview. What's with the hand gestures from Dawn though?! They're rather weird at times.

I agree.

It's ironic how his early life perfectly explains the Hemingway reference about sentimentality at the beginning of the interview. "...murdering birds and newts under the guise of love." I'm sorry if this posted twice.

He is absolutely insane. and brilliant. and a genius.

oh thats so cool

I can really relate with this guy. Alas, apparently I missed the boat that was headed in the direction of fame and fortune.

I really do adore Russell Brand. He's had it so tough, and managed to get so far in life in spite of all the difficulties. I love how nice and incredibly eloquent he is, I think we need more of that in the world. That he's practically taught himself all of that is even more brilliant. Can't really say anything other than that while I mourn the single womens collective loss, I do wish him all the luck and happiness in the world with Katy Perry!

He's deep and gorgeous and I absolutely can't help but love him...

I agree. And why was it ok for everyone to make fun of Britney being a virgin or Jessica Simpson even, but he pokes fun at the Jonas Brothers and everyone loses their mind. All the VMA hosts poke fun at their audience. What he said was certainly nothing in comparison to Sarah Silverman's set. He was funny, not cruel. It's called irony and sarcasm and apparently not all of us Americans understand that about Britis humor. I love him. He was the best part of the VMAs

He really is a smart guy, and very open minded.

i can't understand what he says sometimes, but its clear he's more intelligent than a first impression would tell you

There's somthing on tv about him at about 12:00 am and i cant watch it because my airiel just broke :(

@Rickashay18 Me too... learning about what he was like at a child was cool

My God he's intelligent!

omg its amazing and deep when your high.

It annoys me how people think hes just some kind of scarecrow prat, he's actually an extremely intelligent, witty and well spoken man. Not to mention hilarious and sexy.

Is the woman interviewing him from the British comedy, the Vicar of Dibley?

@claymax420 the interviewer is Dawn French, a comedy legend, have some respect!

That's an important distinction ! Thank you. I do enjoy his entertaining.I'd even call myself a fan since about '04 but ,to many of his recent fans I say: Use him to feel intelligent.Watch Black Adder and Russell and pay attention,learn a little from their throwaway factoids but please, do also read real news media,history,science,world events :D According to Russell, much of Essex is like him, most namely the YT celebrity Sophie Grace. Even at her young age, I'd agree.

She's completely flirting with him, it's hilarious!

Russel Brand is absolutley gorgeus and the funniest person on tv x

how so?

WHAT? HE WAS ON BIG BROTHER? I was half way through this interview when I read the description. Is it true? Is there footage on youtube of him in big bro?

Only the Insane Ones see him- the actually spiritually sane- Insane!

"It's hard cos they won't eat nothing-contrary little git" LOL!!!

I didn't know he was smart. ;/ He's perfect! ;o

russell rocks!!!

ahaha dog in the playground xD I loved that too

haha...that cat sitting joke didn't land at all

"and remind me not to let you... cat.. sit... for me..." haha

he is verry gut

He's so honest ain't he. Like in Booky Wook.

Damn, my favorite intelligent comedy people. He is Brilliant and Dawn is hot

you called that one right! XD

@kronz21 I did type Attention Deposit HYPERACTIVE Disorder. But yeah, Dane Cook for sure. lol. ADD is kinda the same. They just crave attention. Being hyperactive is usually a way to get peoples attention. But you're totally right.

@shan4short Yes
