Don' t ever ask Russell Brand how much his house costs

Dina RickmanDec 01, 2014 If you ever meet Russell Brand, do not ask him about his personal finances. Otherwise you may get the same treatment as this reporter who was called a "snide" and subject to an angry tirade. Here's the moment a two-minute interview with Channel 4 News's Paraic O'Brien outside Downing Street about Brand's campaign to help the residents of the New Era Estate turned. O'Brien: Part of the problem is the super rich buying property in London, isn't it? How much did you pay for your place? Brand: It's rented. O'Brien: Oh, is it... what kind of rent are you paying? Brand: I'm not interested in talking to you about my rent, mate. I'm here to support a very, very important campaign. And you as a member of the media have an important duty to help to represent these people not to reframe the debate. O'Brien: But it's still a point, isn't it? Brand: No. Things got worse from there, with Brand physically dragging a resident of New Era on camera. Watch the whole exchange below: The reporter involved, Paraic O'Brien, has since tweeted a defence of the row saying:
