Russell is a boy Brand reject
Quote:
THE man’s got so many embarrassing secrets I thought it was impossible to expose any more.
Last week I told you how comic RUSSELL BRAND confessed to pleasuring himself with a Henry The Hoover when he was young.
Now I can reveal the mouthy TV presenter once auditioned to be in boy band 5IVE — but didn’t get in because his singing was, well, rubbish.
Russell confessed: “I did audition for a boy band. That was pretty bad. I was only 20, I didn’t know what I was doing and I was on drugs. I did some pretty crazy things on those drugs.”
The whole experience sounds like one big embarrassment.
He explains: “We had the choice of singing ROBBIE WILLIAMS’ Angels or that GEORGE MICHAEL song, Faith.
“I’d been in the toilet drinking to calm my nerves so I was probably all red and blustery and a little plump and rubbish.”
Russell even used props to try and win over the judges. He added: “I decided I’d be less self-conscious if I held a water bottle and pretended it was my mic. It really was terribly embarrassing.”
The comic admits he doesn’t think he is really the boy band type, saying: “Imagine me with Abs, Doc, Sneazy and the other guys.”
I revealed last week how the 5ive boys — SCOTT ROBINSON, RITCHIE NEVILLE, JASON “J” BROWN and RICHARD “ABS” BREEN — are making a comeback.
But they’ll be a four-piece this time around because SEAN CONLON has refused to get involved.
