Russell Brand knows he was at fault.
On December 31, 2011, the British comedian sent a text to then-wife Katy Perry ending their 14-month marriage. “Let’s just say, I haven’t heard from him since,” the pop star recalled to Vogue in 2013, adding, “He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I marred him.”
Looking back, Brand, who wed Laura Gallacher in August, admits he was a different person then.
Hollywood’s Shortest Marriages “I’ve changed a lot in the last five years,” he exclusively tells Us Weekly. “I don’t compare my relationships now to previous relationships out of respect to my present wife and to Katy Perry. I think I’m an easier person to be with now. I’m also in a very different situation. I’m dependent on my wife. In relationships, there is always going to be a level of dependency. But I try not to project my problems onto other people and perhaps I’ve not always been like that. In his new book, Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, the 14-years sober actor lays out the 12-step no-B.S. guide that has personally helped him cope with his struggles, including his battles with drugs, sex and food. “It’s like I’ve been to a college of mental illness and now I’ve graduated,” Brand admits. “I want to help more people get into recovery. I want to help people become conscious of their addictions. I want to help people look at the world differently and pursue goals that are for their benefit and not to the benefit of other people.”
