Russell Brand, 39, “got blessed” by a priest on Tuesday.
The comedian met the church leader in the lobby of Sirius XM radio and says the experience “felt like something”. He said: “I ran into a priest and a nun in the corridor. Never miss an opportunity for a blessing from someone who’s dedicated their life to the lord. I got blessed and it felt like something.”
Russell was taping an interview with Ron Bennington in which he slammed business tycoon Donald Trump as “a bit daft”. He said: “It didn’t seem like he knew much (other than capitalism). It’s not like he’s a… super guy. He’s just good at hungry hippo, and we live in hungry hippo land.” - BANG Showbiz
