Deliberately eccentric British comedian and political commentator Russell Brand isn't everybody's cup of tea. Some people find him hilarious; others find he jumps up and down on their very last nerve. Even his detractors would have to admit that he's a captivating man, though. He oozes charisma, sometimes appearing to move more like an insect than a human being. There's something other-worldly about Brand, and we think we know where he got it from.
If Brand decided to put a pirate's costume on for Halloween, he'd look exactly like Dustin Hoffman's Captain Hook from the aptly-named movie 'Hook.' He's one of the very few people in the world who wouldn't need to wear a wig to play the part. Brand would probably make an excellent pirate - he'd charm you into handing your treasure away. Hook is quite the charmer himself, but he has nothing on Brand.
