The past came back to haunt Russell Brand on Saturday.
The 35-year-old comedian was deported out of Japan after arriving in the country due to old arrests on his record from 10 years ago. He was in the country to watch his wife, Katy Perry, perform.

He’s as much a comedian as Whoopi Goldberg is a comedienne. I think that title is bandied about a little too easily. A person should be at least marginally funny, before that title is bestowed.
I didn’t know who Russel Brand was until Katie Perry went and married him.

I’m going to have to go against the grain here and say that I think he is funny. I saw a couple minutes of his standup, it was pretty good atleast when he mocked his hairstyle.
He is a lefty nutter. He apologized a while back for something and had a picture of chairman Mao in his backdrop.
I can;t figure out who it is that waves the wand and decides which mediocre people will be “famous”.
Had to open the thread to find out who Russell Brand “is.” I only know who SHE is because I sat for 2 hours yesterday staring at the cover of some magazine she’s gracing this month.
Why would you sit in the grocery check-out line for 2 hours?
He was a heroin addict and was arrested 11 times.
I don’t know who these people are but I love it when any of our mush-brained celebs get kicked out of other countries like this. It gives me hope.
No wonder Katy Perry can sing. I just noticed her lungs.

He was probably at Wal-Mart.
The company I work for does a lot of business with Onan in Fridley.
What British person isn’t funny? I’ll bet he’s a hoot!
When Brand was 14, he suffered from bulimia nervosa. He left home at age 16 because of differences with his mother’s live-in partner.
His mother had lymphoma during this time and he began using recreational drugs such as cannabis, amphetamines, LSD and ecstasy
Brand said during an interview on National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition Saturday that he had “a strange relationship with his father, whom he saw sporadically and who took him to visit prostitutes during a trip to the Far East”. After Brand’s parents divorced, his father remarried twice. Later, he also began using cocaine, crack and heroin.
Brand has bipolar disorder, has suffered from bulimia, and also went through a period of self-harm. Brand has shown interest in the Hare Krishna Movement and chants the Hare Krishna mantra for drug rehabilitation.
After a string of high-profile relationships, Brand developed a reputation in the media as a ladies’ man. His dating life won him The Sun’s Shagger Of The Year award in 2006, and 2008. The award has been renamed “The Russell Brand Shagger of the Year Award” in honour of Brand having won three years in a row
Brand is a former heroin and sex addict and a recovering alcoholic. He has had numerous run-ins with the police, having been arrested 11 times as of 2006. During the time of his addiction, he was known for his debauchery. Brand was ejected from The Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh, and he infamously introduced his drug dealer to Kylie Minogue during his time at MTV.
According to Katy Perry’s Twitter timeline, Brand was deported from Japan on Sunday 22 May 2011. Perry’s tweet included the hashtag #tokyodreamscrushed.
