Russell Brand Recalls Nights ‘With Prostitutes and Dad’ in Resurfaced Clip

Newly resurfaced footage shows convicted rapist Russell Brand laughing with his father about a Hong Kong holiday during which Ron Brand hired a prostitute for his teenage son.

The video features the disgraced comedian and his father, now aged 51 and 82, joking about Brand’s encounters with sex workers when he was a teenager.

Brand has previously described the first encounter, saying his father hired three prostitutes that night—two for himself and one for Brand, who was 17. He said they had sex with the women in the same room.

The footage has resurfaced after Brand was convicted and sentenced for rape and sexual assault.

The sex offender was sentenced today to ten years and six months in prison: nine years for rape, with an additional 18 months imposed for the three women he sexually assaulted.

Speaking to his father in the video, Brand said: ‘Remember that first night? The Mandarin Palace Hotel in Hong Kong? All those women sort of wearing swimsuits.’

He continued: ‘I remember thinking, f***ing hell, all those women in swimsuits. I can’t wait to get back to school and tell my mates.’

His father laughed and replied: ‘I wish I had my flippers.’

Brand carried on, prompting louder laughter from his father: ‘Then one of them came over and started talking to me, and I thought, wow, I can’t wait to tell my mates.’

He went on to describe how the woman began kissing him and touching his penis.

‘I actually ended up telling my mates it was about three prostitutes in the back of a taxi, with the clicker-clack of my high heels on a marble hotel lobby floor going up to that beautiful room,’ he said.

Addressing his father, he added: ‘And then you had that other one, and then I had that lovely young Filipino one, didn’t I?’

Brand’s father replied: ‘You fell in love every time.’

The sex offender said he woke the following morning to find half-empty glasses of champagne while his father read the newspaper.

‘And you went, “Did you wear a condom with that bird last night?”‘

‘I went, “No, no, no, never”, and you went, “You should have”.’

Brand previously said he and the woman, who was only a few years older than him, had ‘timid, awkward sex’ that left him feeling he ‘loved’ her.

Despite those apparently fond recollections, the encounter was far from romantic. Brand said he could hear his father, who was in the adjoining bed with two women, shouting: ‘Bleeding hell! I’m going to be sick!’

The court heard that Brand displayed a ‘casual arrogant disregard to any woman’s right to say no’

Writing about the experience years later, Brand appeared unable to express a conventional moral response to what had happened.

He wrote: ‘During the rest of that holiday I f****d loads more prostitutes and never wore a condom… my sexuality had morphed forever from bewildered innocence into something more complex and rapacious.’

Brand also said his father praised him for having sex with the prostitute, telling him: ‘I went away wiv a boy but I’m coming back wiv a man.’

In his first autobiography, My Booky Wook, Brand wrote that Ron allowed him to look through his collection of pornographic magazines while he was still at primary school and permitted him to watch pornographic videos.

Brand now faces serving two-thirds of his ten-and-a-half-year sentence in prison.

Following Monday’s sentencing, his father attempted to portray his son as the real ‘victim’, despite Brand’s convictions for attacks on four different women.

Asked by a reporter whether he had a message for his son’s victims, he said: ‘The victims, what victims? What Russell?’

When the reporter clarified that she meant ‘his victims’, he replied: ‘The girls you mean, who chased and harassed him.’

Ron said he ‘didn’t care’ that his son had been convicted and criticised ‘the system’.

Meanwhile, Mr Justice Bennathan condemned Brand’s ‘staggering arrogance’.

The judge told Brand: ‘About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous, you were clever and, in many people’s eyes, you were funny and charismatic.

‘You had also become a sexual predator.’

The judge said Brand’s ‘status protected you’ until journalists from The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches exposed a series of allegations of sexual misconduct in 2023, prompting women to report their claims to police.

He said Brand had shown a ‘casual arrogant disregard to any woman’s right to say no to you’ and that his fame had led him to believe ‘you could act when you liked and how you liked’.

The judge added that evidence presented during the trial showed Brand’s entourage during his celebrity heyday had ‘indulged your dreadful behaviour’.

The judge imposed a nine-year prison term for the rape and added a further 18 months for the sexual assaults.

One victim described Brand as ‘a sexual predator who has no remorse for how his behaviour has impacted my life’.

The rape victim told the court she had been a major Brand fan before attending one of his performances at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009, where the comedian selected her from the audience to join him backstage.

She later agreed to visit Brand’s £2.3 million townhouse in Hampstead Village, north London, to have sex.

However, she said the consensual encounter became rape when Brand removed his condom and had anal sex with her without her consent.

The court heard that Brand ignored her requests to stop and pinned her down so that she struggled to breathe before telling her to clean up afterwards.

He was convicted of sexually assaulting a female Channel 4 worker during a recording session in 2009, shortly after he began dating Ms Perry.

The woman, who was working alone with Brand and members of his entourage, was forced to massage him after he threatened to disrupt the recording. He then knelt down and thrust his head into her groin.

A jury also found Brand guilty of sexually assaulting an MTV worker at a Soho bar during a birthday party in 2004.

The woman said Brand, wearing a ‘weird maniacal grin’, grabbed her breasts within seconds of meeting her.

He was also convicted of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005.

She told the court Brand kissed her ‘sloppily’, groped her body and laughed when she eventually managed to push him away.
