Russell Brand's mother warned him not to buy a pistol, but the comedian has gone ahead anyway.
He ignored pleas from his mother Barbara not to
get the pistol because firing it makes him feel as macho as John Wayne.
The Rock of Ages actor purchased the firearm
after relocating from Britain to Los Angeles: "I've been learning to
fire guns. My mother said, 'Don't learn to fire guns, Russell.'"
However after practicing how to shoot, the
comedian made a decision to have one permanently.
He said: "Well, I've learnt and now I've got
one. I mean, me, own a gun? I shouldn't really have access to hair gel but I
can fire a gun if I need to.
"To be honest guns are fun. When I was
learning I was firing all over the place - obviously not at people but I was
hitting all these targets. I felt like John Wayne."
Brand boasted about his sex life to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Saturday afternoon. The exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people was promoting a message of world peace called "Stand Up and Be the Change," a universal message to our generation to become "decisive catalysts" for positive change.
