Why Russell Brand Felt “Inadequate” When He Married Ex Katy Perry

• What’s Inside: Russell Brand’s feelings about his marriage to Katy Perry.
• His goal in marrying her.
• Taking blame for mistakes.

We just saw some interesting comments from Russell Brand about his past marriage to singer Katy Perry. It turns out, he really felt the pressure. He thought marrying Katy would show everyone, and maybe himself, that he was more than just his wild, ‘one of the boys’ image.

He even said he wanted to prove he was a different kind of person. You know, not just the loud comedian everyone thought they knew. It’s like he wanted a whole new color palette for his life, something softer and maybe a bit more sophisticated, to match the vibe of being with someone like Katy.

And get this, he’s taking all the blame for the mistakes he made during their time together. That’s a pretty big statement. He seems to be saying he really messed things up.

Our Take

It’s always a bit sad to hear when someone reflects on a past relationship and feels they didn’t measure up. We appreciate Russell Brand owning his mistakes, though. It takes courage to admit you weren’t good enough, especially in the spotlight. It makes you wonder what really went on behind those famous smiles.
