Russell Brand will cut off his trademark long locks, for the sake of a Hollywood career.
Russell Brand knows that looking about as groomed as Robert Pattinson on an off day could restrict future movie roles. The 34-year-old TV presenter has his sights set on Hollywood. He has denied earlier rumours that he would have to cut off his mane, in order to play the lead in a remake of Dudley Moore’s Arthur. However, he acknowledges that looking like a particularly well-encrusted homeless person means he is only going to be able to play sessy transients.
Photos of Russell Brand out and about and his comments on upcoming roles.
He said, ”I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men, otherwise my career would be limited.” But a sensible short-back-and-sides might be on the cards if Brand wants to fulfil his ultimate ambition – to play France’s post-revolutionary military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.”
He continued, ”I was hoping one day to play Napoleon, but I can’t play Napoleon as this shaggy-haired, bearded raconteur. ‘But I did also want to play Rasputin, so that’ll be good, I can look like this.” (via the UK Telegraph)

I’d rather he cut his tongue.

[...] Russell Brand is going to cut his hair. Probably for Katy Perry.- Amy Grindhouse [...]
i understand he wants to keep his career going and cuttingh is hair would help that, but at the same time it would take away one of the things that makes him…well…him. ofcourse, ludacris cut his hair and ended up winning an Oscar or somewhting, so i suppose it could work, but that doesn’t mean we gotta like it.
first all the stars in hollywood are statving themselves and losing the curves we all love, now the guys are cutting their hair? what’e next? are they all going to start worhipping princess suri? lol
I agree, his silly clothes and ratty hair are all about his image. It’s all about stripping away any personality so that they’re more marketable. It’s annoying but it’s how it is, i guess.
