Just spell it out. There’s too many to know which one.
Edit: I’ve done some searching but I get the feeling whoever it is, is not known outside NZ.
I genuinely don't know the name. I don't follow this sort of shit. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Russel Brand?
That's him! Thank you.
Russel Brand?
He’s English.
Yeah but I'd believe if someone mixed him up.
He's also not a leftist. People thought he was, but he's actually a populist who peddles in right-wing conspiracy theories.

Indeed. He’s a real arsehole.. I think he probably started off OK about a decade ago or more but descended into chucklefuckery once he could afford way more drugs in Hollywood.
Multiple inline replies to make sure multiple people see them in their inboxes (assuming all Lemmy instances work like mine).
It was Russel Brand. Hat tip to can@sh.itjust.works.
But he’s not Aus / NZ…?!?
An English speaker with a non-North American accent. So I don't have the best memory or perception of accents. It was still close enough for someone to figure out who I meant.
Wow. Dude you need to travel some.
I think some_guy is talking about Isaac Butterfield
It was Russel Brand. Hat tip to can@sh.itjust.works.
Seems like he’s both long dead and not Australian or Kiwi.
