Russell Brand ... he refused to start filming until a wardrobe girl flashed her boobs at him.

[seabeyond]

SEX-MAD comic Russell Brand was told off by Billy Connolly after he refused to start filming until a wardrobe girl flashed her boobs at him.

His cheeky demand delayed shooting on the first day for two hours, so the assistant eventually gave in for the sake of the schedule.

*

But Billy failed to see the funny side. The source added: “Billy got annoyed when he found out and and gave Russell a stern ticking off.”

*

The source recalled: “Russell tried to persuade a wardrobe assistant to show him her breasts but she was having none of it — at first.

“But when it started to look like they weren’t going to get any work done she gave in and flashed him. Russell is a charming scoundrel and everybody let him get away with murder on set — except Billy.

“But after their heart-to-heart he settled down and gave a great performance and filmed the scenes like a consummate professional.”

1. My appreciation for Billy Connolly just went way, way up.

I have no doubt most people (men and women) would consider this just all fun and games, no big deal.

Thanks, porn culture!

[seabeyond]

5. i got mad, lol. Thanks, porn culture! "SEX-MAD" comic. bullshit.

creep

not about sex or mad.

about beign a fuckin creep

[dballance]

2. What an ASS. Never heard of him

I went to the link. He sort of looks like Charles Manson. The look in his eyes scared me.

It shouldn't have just been a stern "hear-to-heart" with him. He should have been shown the door and replaced with a reasonable human.

[redqueen]

3. Billy is a co-star, not sure who's in charge,

but based on how this went on for hours, I doubt whoever it is took it seriously.

[seabeyond]

7. two fuckin hours of her saying NO. and not ONE told the creep to fuckin knock it off

and grow up.

totally amazing and says a hell of a lot where women stand

[CrispyQ]

24. Like I said, 11-year-old-men.

Fuck him & his junior high antics & fuck all the men there who didn't speak against this kind of adolescent behavior. And I bet they all chuckled & ogled when she bared her breasts.

Chalk another one up for "boys will be boys!"

[seabeyond]

27. it really is not a huge deal to flash, but, it is a huge deal this was allowed to happen

this bothers me in such a way, that in todays world in a work environment this would be allowed to happen. and there was no one tht put a stop to it. that is what really pisses me off and makes me so angry about the event.

[seabeyond]

6. He should have been shown the door and replaced with a reasonable human.

you know. for real.

ugly ass jerk

[exboyfil]

4. Where the heck is Eric Idle

It is his musical and he lets his people be treated this way? Remind me not to see the musical (which I would not have anyway). What is wrong with the rest of the production crew that did not get the producer and director in their and point out to this clown that he was violating his contract? Did the production really need him? A dressing down by another actor is all that happens??? How often does this happen in this industry. My daughter is thinking about pursuing a film career as an editor and camera person - what should I advise her? As mentioned in the comments section, the poor woman would probably get blackballed if she complained.

8. What is wrong with the rest of the production crew

what should I advise her?

flash immediately so she doesnt slow production?

i hear ya. just absurd. then the article puts sex mad, as if it is a buddy pat on the fuckin back.

i am so disgusted

[seabeyond]

9. more and more angry thinking... so he wants to fuck her and wont work until.

do people stand up for the woman at that point?

clue in... at that point, it is rape.

[redqueen]

12. Stand up for her?

Somehow I imagine the more common response would be to tell her to just get it over with, why are you so uptight, stop being a prude, they're only breasts, etc.

[seabeyond]

13. oh, woman. lay back and enjoy it? nt

[redqueen]

14. You should be flattered!

It's a compliment!

[seabeyond]

15. hugzzzz. and it goes on and on. nt

[seabeyond]

16. hey... i guess this puts the emphasis on the post about rejecting sexual harassment laws. nt

[seabeyond]

17. this illustrates my point about the "entertaining" mad men and effect on us. showing women accepting

this behavior. whetting appetite for the male privilege to the point that it encourages and feeds.....

not to mention HBOs efforts to knock over the barrier of gratuitous full frontal nudity though exclusively women nudity so really not about nudity for reality since men get naked in RL just not on tv.

this is what these mentalities breed.

[CrispyQ]

25. I think there are many who think just that --

that they are so special we should considered ourselves lucky to be fucked by them.

There are also many little psychopaths who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. And if you are rich, our culture rewards that.

[Lint Head]

10. Narcissistic prick.

[seabeyond]

11. "Narcissistic". ya. that. thanks. nt

[One_Life_To_Give]

18. Power Corrupts

Two hours and nobody fired his ass? No wonder sports and Hollywood stars get away with murder. This is just pure crap when one person is allowed to force themselves upon others. Who did he think he was, Mitt?

[seabeyond]

19. ya. odd. and odd, we place it in a .... well, he is sex mad. just crazy. nt

[Texasgal]

20. Disgusting.

And yeah, fuck him. AND fuck anyone that stands by an allows.

I agree. Fuck that!

[Scout]

21. why is this guy even popular? i don't get it. and it has/had nothing to do with this incident...

i didn't get it ever, now it's just more perplexing.

he seems like a really immature jerk.

[seabeyond]

22. our raunch society. gotta feed that baby. nt

[petronius]

23. Utterly despicable. I really hope she has some legal recourse against Brand and

her direct employer for this harassment - especially if any of her supervisors pressured her.

But in reality, I suspect it's been made clear to her that if she complains she might as well just leave the industry...

[seabeyond]

28. what it feels like in the last handful of years, is that it is the same battle we had

in the 70's, 80's when we were first implementing the sexual harassment laws.

it has felt like to me that we are walking back on the rules in an office space. and i think it is both genders that are creating this. and i really do not think the women are going to feel a win if they lose this. they may not appreciate it now, but, when there are not strong boundaries, i think they will see the need.

kinda like abortion. the younger generation does not get the importance of women being protected. a loss will be a clearer picture.

[Enrique]

26. blatant illegal harrassment

the problem is the terrible source for the story. The Sun is not reliable and the story is thin.

[seabeyond]

29. this would be a story, that i would hope you are correct about.

i cannot imagine a group of people allowing this to go on for two hours, and no one stepping in.

i dont know anything about the suns.
