I did see this on Instagram on congratulated him, this guy had like over 1 million followers at some stage so I saw once his audience on Instagram wasnt too happy that he was becoming a Christian and the other half was, hopefully his conversion will make others start enquiring into Christianity too
I remember posting the same thing on this thread on RVF. I looked online and it seems like he uniformly uses two Ls. However, there are a number of people on the internet who use only one. Perhaps he went by Russel for a while? It seems too wide spread to just be a speling error.
Edit: Also, praise God for his salvation. Another one in the fold!
As the darkness grows so does the light. The spirit is moving brothers and sisters!
There's already thread for him here: https://christisking.cc/threads/the-russell-brand-thread.365/
@Samseau / @Cynllo perhaps merging is the best solution.
As for the name, in Britain nobody spells Russell with one L.

Whatever it is, I don't think he is ready yet. I suppose an Orthodox priest would require much more time for catechism.
He still thinks in new age/sencretistic terms.
Perhaps it's a protestant denomination, they always need more subscribers.

Becoming jaded with these celebrity "conversions."
celebrity and Christian is probably an oxymoron
...you know, the whole humility component is kind of essential.
Yes and no - many nations have converted en masse when a major figure, like Constantine or Vladimir, converts.
At the same time, the conversion of a celebrity means nothing if it is not sincere; so if the celeb displays humility, to God, Christ, and His Church, then we can be sure it's solid conversion of a famous person for the glory of God.
Why are rich people always trying to sell broke people more stuff they can't afford?
Fascinating discussion between Bret Weinstein and Russell Brand.
I'm about halfway through. Brand describes his baptism here and, for the first half, has been trying to help Bret see around his materialism:
