In the Greek Theater of Los Angeles we had the opportunity to talk with the comedian of the moment Russell Brand. His sense of humor and his sex appeal are the best attraction for this brit that in our interview confesses to be in love with Spain and the Spanish language. Brad is not very shy at the time to talk about this past and he even tried to talk in Spanish during the interview. As an avid lover of the Spanish culture he confesses he is reading the classics of the Spanish literature. Married with the singer Katy Perry, Russell is already shooting a new movie in New York.

Is true that you are in love with Spain?
Yes. I lived for a littler while in Madrid. When I was young I had a madrileña girlfriend. I lived a few months there. I love Spain and their culture; right now I’m trying to learn Spanish.

Why?
Is very important to talk in Spanish because is the language of the workers. Is the language of the revolution. Is the language of love. I like to read the writings of Pablo Neruda, Lorca, Cervantes.  The Spanish is a beautiful language. And I like the Spanish people, their passion, they are very funny.

Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. A Little bit. I’m learning Spanish in this moment.

When did you live in Spain?
I was 19 and I fell in love of a young girl in El Escorial. After that I had another girlfriend in Barcelona. The Spanish women are wonderful.

Would you come back son to Spain?
Yes. I love Spain.

What type of characters are you looking for?
Up until now I only wanted to do comedy. But as any other artist I go through up and downs. I’m starting as an actor and I enjoy the process.

You are the new comedian in Hollywood?
worked very hard to get where I am right now. I realize that everything is irrelevant. The fact that I’m famous in USA doesn’t mean a lot, maybe my next job is to become a dancer for the talibans. I love to make people laugh, even in war zones. I want that everybody comes to the movies to watch my movies.
