Russell Brand has taken aim at his former wife Katy Perry over her reported romance with Justin Trudeau.

The British actor and comedian appeared on the opening day of the Turning Point USA AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday, where he spoke about American conservatism and his recent embrace of Christianity.

During his remarks to the audience, Brand paused to crack a joke about the pop singer, to whom he was married from 2010 until their split was finalised in July 2012.

“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 O.K. with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? Come on, man!” he said. “Don't put me in a category with that guy! That globalist stooge.”

Spokespeople for Perry have not responded publicly to Brand’s remarks.

The Firework singer began dating actor Orlando Bloom in early 2016, with the pair announcing their engagement three years later. They welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020.

In July, Perry and Bloom confirmed that they had recently decided to end their relationship.

Not long after, the singer was linked to former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, with the pair making their relationship Instagram official earlier this month.

Brand, who is now 50, has been married to Laura Gallacher since 2017, and the couple has three children together.

Earlier this year in April, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor was charged with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape and two counts of sexual assault. He entered not guilty pleas to all five charges during a court appearance in London the following month.

The charges stem from allegations made by four different women concerning incidents that are said to have occurred between 1999 and 2005.

Taylor Swift Drops New Easter Egg Hinting At Another Album

Taylor Swift has once again sent fans into full detective mode after a split second moment in the finale of her Disney+ docuseries End of an Era appeared to quietly suggest that another new album could already be taking shape.

In the closing seconds of Episode 6, a title card appears on screen outlining Swift’s achievements following the Eras Tour. One particular line immediately caught fans’ attention: “On October 3, 2025, Taylor released her 12th studio album. The biggest album of her career.” After a brief pause, two additional words appear: “To date.”

The subtle tease arrives as Swift continues to enjoy the overwhelming success of The Life of a Showgirl, her current chart topping release, which is also celebrated throughout the series. The album has already shattered modern sales records and spent several weeks at Number 1, firmly securing its place as a defining moment in her career. Still, the wording of the title card, especially the deliberate addition of “to date”, has Swifties convinced she is hinting that album 13 is closer than anyone realises.

The mysterious moment also follows recent comments that made it clear Taylor has no plans to step out of the spotlight anytime soon.

While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the global star addressed criticism suggesting she should step aside and make room for others.

She brushed off the idea with her usual honesty, explaining to the host that some people want her to disappear so they can talk about her in the past, but she has no interest in doing that.

Her response reinforced her determination to remain front and centre in popular culture, even after nearly two decades of chart dominance. With the record breaking Eras Tour commanding headlines throughout 2023 and 2024, Swift has shown that her momentum is far from slowing.

Taylor also opened up about the fact that she does not consider herself a “chill” person.

The Fate of Ophelia hitmaker, who wrapped up her 21 month Eras Tour in December 2024, shared that while she knows how to relax, slowing down has never really been part of her nature because she always feels the need to stay busy.

Colbert asked the Grammy winner how she deals with the emotional shift that comes when a long running project comes to an end, especially as his own show approaches its final months.

She explained that in this particular situation, she could not fully relate, but noted that both of them are highly driven people who struggle to switch off when they take time away.

She added that even during breaks, she cannot quiet the urge to get up and fill her day with activity, though she has learned to change what those activities look like.

Taylor concluded by saying she can find ways to unwind, but she will never truly be laid back, joking that hobbies like baking bread or cross stitching give her something to focus her energy on, calling them unexpectedly wonderful outlets.
