In case you missed it, amid the mounting legal troubles and recent FBI arrest of Diddy, a resurfaced clip of actor Russell Brand is making its rounds and showing him claiming you can’t say no to a “very intense” Puff Daddy, whom he recalled once took him on an “enforced holiday.”
After Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with prostitution, sex trafficking, fraud, and racketeering, an interview clip of ‘Get Him to the Greek‘ actor Russell Brand has resurfaced. The clip is from a May 2010 interview with BlackTree TV and begins with the controversial comedian talking about his time filming the movie with Combs and actor Jonah Hill.
The British actor, 49, explained to the interviewer, Jamaal Finkley, “Diddy is new to me, right? He looked after me. He took me on an enforced holiday to Vegas. He’s a very intense man because I think he comes from nothing, and now he’s very, very powerful. People that do stuff like that, they’re intense.”
In addition to calling Diddy, 54, intense, Brand also spoke about the influence the now-disgraced mogul had. He said, “Now, I like him. He’s very influential. Say that you don’t want to do something and Diddy does want you to do it, it’s really hard to not do that thing.” Finkley went on to ask if it was like his role in the movie where he “mindf**ks” people into doing things for him. Brand admitted, “He’s a bit like the mindf***ing. Like, he’s very influential.”
Brand continued to theorize, “Like… say Diddy went and said, ‘Could you pick me up from the airport, I’ve got back from holiday,’ or ‘I’m going away, would you feed my fish?,’ and really, you didn’t want to feed his fish… you’d still do it because you think, ‘Ahh, don’t upset him.’ He’s an influential person.”
Brand also clarified, “He’s a good laugh. But, imagine if you get very friendly with him, he might ask you for loads of favors and then you can’t say no to him. That’s my worry because I’ve become friends with him now. What if he starts… and he says, ‘Oh, could you pick me up from the airport? Feed the fish? Can I borrow your vacuum cleaner?’ It’s gonna be pressure.”
Finkley then offered, “You’re just kind of gonna become his b*tch,” which is a theme in the movie that also depicts Hill as a music-industry assistant to Diddy’s character in the film which mirrors his real-life mogul self. But, Brand refused that idea and said, “I don’t want to be nobody’s b*tch. I work too hard in life. Not even Diddy’s b*tch… Nobody’s b*tch.”
