For Russell Brand, Animal Rights Are No Laughing Matter
British comedian Russell Brand made a name for himself for his kooky outlook on life and quick-witted stand-up comedy performances, as well as his starring roles in movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him To The Greek, but the long-haired star is also a major animal lover. He’s been a vegetarian since the age of just 14 and was convinced to make the switch after watching a documentary called Forks Over Knives. Brand has repeatedly urged his fans to consider making the switch and even gave out free vegan cookies at one of his comedy shows.
