To us, Russell Brand is a perfect example of how you can do anything you put your mind to. He has not only become a great actor, a hilarious comedian, a famous radio host and involved political activist, but he’s dated the stunning Kate Moss and is married to the talented and beautiful Katy Perry.
And if you’ve ever seen him alongside Jonah Hill in ‘Get Him To The Greek’, you’ll love him forever for making you laugh so hard.
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse told us her life story through her songs, and did it like no other artist had before. The song ‘Rehab’, which literally talked about her experience in going to drug rehabilitation, became instantly famous, breaking several world records.
Winehouse joined the infamous 27 club when she passed away in 2011. She was revered by greats, like Bob Dylan and Tony Bennett, and definitely left us way too early.
One Crazy Transformation
Could you ever have imagined that this chubby, serious looking kid would go on to become one of the most famous British stand-up comedians and movie actors in the world?! We couldn’t have! Russell Brand definitely went through a big transformation since high-school.
Brand has admitted in several occasions that he was a very lonely child with a very difficult upbringing. He suffered from Bulimia, an issue he’s been struggling with over the years.
That Sheepish Grin Belongs to…
Ironically enough, this awkward, shy looking kid made his debut playing a popular teenage jock in the famous 80s film ‘Lucas’. But we can imagine this was far from his actual reality back in high school, judging from the geeky haircut and braces.
Little known fact though. As nerdy as he looks in this picture (we’re sure he maybe excelled at a science class or two), Piven played drums for most of his life. This New Yorker sometimes plays for a band named Bad Decisions. Maybe he was thinking of his hairdo when he came up with the name…
Jeremy Piven
The talented Jeremy Piven went on to act in 90s generational classics such as ‘Singles’, ‘The Larry Sanders Show’, ‘Seinfeld’, and won a Golden Globe Award and three Emmys for his performance in HBO’s ‘Entourage’.
We thought he absolutely killed it as neurotic agent, Ari Gold - definitely one of the best TV characters ever.
