Russell Brand has caused quite a stir by openly criticising his ex-wife, Katy Perry’s new relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix on December 18th, the English comedian, age 50, did not hold back in expressing his feelings towards Perry’s new partner, Trudeau, age 53. Brand addressed the crowd by stating, “Look, Katy Perry, I was married to her. I love her still, and I’m glad that her mum’s in the room to hear me say this, but look. I was okay with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? Come on, man! Don’t put me in a category with that guy! That globalist stooge.”
