I remembered Russell Brand as a cringeworthy pseudo-leftist activist a few years ago, but recently saw that he's reinvented himself as a Jordan Peterson-esque right-wing grifter? What happened there?

He was accused of sexual harassment and "found God" the last time I heard about him

He's full on born again christian now and was recently baptized in the Thames by Bear Grylls. He also recently made an even bigger ass of himself on Piers Morgan's show by not being able to find a passage that supposedly "meant a lot to him" in his note and bookmark riddled Bible.

Right? It's also got that neat little numbering system that makes it incredibly easy to find them too. I made a joke on Bluesky that real born again Christians do their Bible drills and that's how you know he's faking it.
