For many years, actor and comedian Russell Brand has advocated for certain political policies. But his beliefs have once again come under scrutiny due to criminal charges in London. In April 2025, the London Metropolitan Police announced that Brand had been charged with rape, sexual assault, and indecent behavior in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred between 1999 and 2005. According to multiple sources, Brand’s court hearing is scheduled for May 2, 2025.
Read on to find out about Brand’s political beliefs.
Brand is not a member of either the Democratic or Republican party, primarily because he is not a U.S. citizen. However, he attended the Republican National Convention in 2024 and invited several Republicans to his show Rumble, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Eric Trump.
According to The Guardian, Brand has previously stated that he does not consider himself political.
«I have never voted», - Brand said. «Like most people, I am completely disillusioned with politics. Like most people, I consider politicians to be frauds and liars, and the current political system nothing more than a bureaucratic means to advance the interests of economic elites».
In 2009, Brand joined several other celebrities in a letter with the Hoping Foundation condemning violence in Gaza by Israel, reports The Independent.
For many years, the comedian has made controversial jokes that have sparked outrage, including one about Nazis in 2013 at an event.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Brand’s public statements seemed to shift away from left-wing beliefs towards right-wing opinions. After being accused of spreading conspiracy theories about COVID, Brand criticized the media.
In 2024, Brand reportedly received nearly $ 70,000 for a comedy show performance for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign, then he supported RFK for president.
«The good news is that I support you», - the comedian said that year, adding, «I mean, I can’t vote. Obviously, I’m English. I can’t vote. But we probably need real Americans to stand up and vote for you».
Yes, Brand is married to his wife Laura Brand. The couple has been married since 2017. Prior to this, Brand was married to his ex-wife Katy Perry.
Yes, Brand is the father of three children, all of whom he shares with his wife.
