Russell Brand Pirates Bound?

Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers > Russell Brand

rusbrand.jpg

Big Russell Brand news!

The "overreaction" victim may be appearing in the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean as Johnny Depp's brother.

A source tells the UK's Sun that Russell has been in talks with the Disney people about the role and that the part could mean an $8 million payday for the funny guy.

Take that BBC!

The insider goes on to say:

"There couldn’t be a role more perfectly suited. There’s a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp’s accent isn’t a million miles away from Russell’s either. Russell joining the Sparrows alongside Johnny and Keith Richards as their dad will complete the ultimate on-screen pirate family.”

We can totally see him in the role!

Good call, Mouse.

But, don't eff this one up, Russ!

    Re: Tell me how my Ass tastes!

    lol no has he been here at all? the only dick that's been in my mouth in a long time was actually this girl's bf…I felt kinda bad…she's kind of a friend lol



  46. 46

    Re: LettyB

    no hunny…I left because I was over it without Andy being here, and I guess Swimstud left because I was gone…but he found me on myspace so we all still talk.



  47. 47

    OMG that would be the best possible addition to the Pirates movies :)
    I find Russell hilarious, and would LOVE to see him work with Johnny and Keith!!
    He was great in Forgetting Sarah Marshall - I think as long as there is a good script he is amazing and not completely wacko-off-the-wall :)



  48. 48

    OOOOOO..that would be sweet!



  49. 49

    Re: abercorey – HEY DOUCHEBAG, SORRY I MEAN ANDY LOL
    HOW'S THE MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER?



  51. 51

    eh so who effing cares. nothing more annoying than a loser from canada telling Americans who to vote for. in fact i turned off my tv and deleted the VMA's off my tivo just because of this guy. and so did my friends.

    if you're not from america GTFO of our faces.



  52. 52

    I *heart* Russell Brand. He is sexy and this will be a great role for him.



  53. 53

    I love Russell, but I can't believe that no-one on here sees him as the pretender he really is - we here in the YOUUUU-KAAAY (sorry!) have been calling him a rip-off Jack Sparrow for years!

    Where do you think he got his persona from in the first place?!!



  54. 54

    anyways either way i wish the best for america. obviously mccain would be the better choice since he actually likes america.

  55. Uker says – reply to this


    55

    Re: John Mccain will save America – HE'S BRITISH YOU FUCKING MORON, ARE ALL MCCAIN FANS THIS STUPID? IT FIGURES.
    VOTE OBAMA.



  56. 56

    Re: John Mccain will save America

    damn you are smokin :)



  57. 57


  58. 58

    i totally agree with "john mccain will save america"
    who the fuck does this guy think he is?!
    yeh he's funny whatever, but he bashed on the jonas brothers bc they didnt wanna fuck whatever had a vagina, told everyone to vote obama when he doesn't even fucking live here?! seriously, im a huge fan of the pirates movies, but if they pick him to be in it, disney is going back on everything they stand for.! this guy is fuckign scum. ugh!



  59. 59

    the mouse never makes a bad call…it will be amazing

  60. Uker says – reply to this

    Re: abercorey – stop talking to yourself and stop using pictures you found on the internet while trolling for porn, and pass off as your own pictures.
    perez knows that you are all of these people, he told me in person lol



  61. 61

    Have to admit, that is a sexy fucking outfit.



  62. 62

    Re: Uker

    well if that statement didnt just kill your credibility idk what will….



  63. 63

    how the fuck is that one trick pony worth $8million? bullshit.



  64. 64

    That would be effin' BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  65. 65

    yeah, he could be the brother i mean, the hair? come on, perfect!



  66. 66

    Re: John Mccain will save America – hes from the uk, dumbass



  67. 67

    PLEASE!!! BE TRUE!!!



  68. 68

    one word: MOOBS



  69. 69

    I thought the scriptwriters already denied this rumor, but anyway…it would be great news for me own Russ…especially now….

  70. BJT says – reply to this


    70

    That will be a trip as the brother i like him he makes me laugh and he reminds me of someone from another time period like the 1700's



  71. 71

    That would be sooooooooooooo funny



  72. 72

    That would be amazing! I could definitely picture that!



  73. 73

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO
    Mickey, You can't let this fucking happen!



  74. 74

    i think thats a perfect role for him. way to go russell.



  75. 75

    OMG that is so funny!

    When my friends and I saw the 3rd film I said to them that RB would be perfect for Pirates if they did a 4th and should possibly e related to Jack Sparrow.

    haha awesome! Not a big fan of the guy but should be interesting…



  76. 76

    Russell Brand is so totally hott. Happy guy forks everybody. Happy birthday to my nana and Happy 21st to Kevin Jonas



  77. 77

    WOW….I heard on Ghram Norton he was a sex addict….. In general not in to him, but man he looks VERY DOABLE in that pic



  78. 78

    What do they mean, 'this would complete the pirate family'? What do they think happened? Captain Jack's dad squirted his sperm under a rock and there came the boys? Uh, complete family = pirate mom too, huh?



  79. 79

    the idiot is wearing womans Sass and Bide Black rats.
    take them of you wanker and get some jeans



  80. 80

    there's a fat man inside of his knickers…man titties, thunder thighs, pouchy belly…another russell bites the dust.



  81. 81

    IS IT JUST ME OR DOES HE LOOK FREAKIN HOTT HERE.. I LUV IT.. FROM THE HAIR TO THE DAMN CLOTHES.. I NEVER THOUGHT OF HIM AS SEXY SEEING HIS STYLE HE HAD AT THE VMAS BUT HELL IM IN LUV WITH THIS PIC.. I LUV IT.. HOTT HOTT HOTT



  82. 82

    Oh my gosh…that would be TOO perfect. I didn't like the last two Pirate movies, but I'd probably go check it out with him and Johnny Depp playing opposite each other. He already talks, looks, and acts like Jack Sparrow's long-lost twin or something, so it would be hilarious to see it on the screen.



  83. 83

    Ew he's smelly-looking and self-serious…I heard he's an awful lay. LOL. Maybe that's why he's so obsessed with it?



  84. 84

    Re: whoaitscachie – I say this as a huge Disney fan:

    Disney stands for making money.

    It's a company doin' business, not your sweet old grandma. Heavens.



  85. 85

    Far be it for the Disney Co. to make a decision based on staying culturally relevant amongst all of the non-Miley/Jonas/HSM fans.

    And I think I had pants just like that in 1999.



  86. 86

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  87. Sheep says – reply to this


    87

    This rumor has been around for awhile. Would actually force me to sit through another of these long pirate movies. They should get a new director or something too.



  88. 88

    omg Russell would be perfect as that roll i never thought about how close a like they are. Russell is so funny i loved him in forgetting sarah marshall.



  89. 89

    now that i would like to see, not zaquisha ruining it



  90. 90

    Awesome news!



  91. 91

    Russell Brand is beautiful :)

    BBC is going to totally regret ditching his radio show !
    and Gordon Brown should get back to managing the country rather than discussing the antics of people way cooler than he is



  92. 92

    OH, and POTC 2 & 3 both sucked,
    but if he's in 4, I am def going to go see it (:



  93. 93

    He's hilarious & I wouldn't mind seeing him alongside the most beautiful and most talented actor ever: JOHNNY DEPPPPP
