Russell Brand puts his foot in it, again

GoBBY russell Brand’s gift of the gab landed him in trouble again when he offended mr Selfridge star Sam West at the national theatre this week.

‘I saw Sam — the son of timothy West and Prunella Scales,’ explains Brand. ‘I go: “I very much enjoyed you in the Big Short”. and he went: “Bless you”. I thought: he’s trying to be nice there, but it’s mixed in with something.’ the 42year-old reveals: ‘I realised he’s not in the Big Short, it’s rafe Spall — tim Spall’s son. I indicated that I see him in the category of sons of famous people. that’s literally the non-racist version of when Samuel L Jackson got a compliment for a film that Denzel Washington was in.’

Wrong again. It was Laurence Fishburne. In an advert.
