2008: Russell Brand made himself well known in the USA by calling the current President George W. Bush a ‘retarded cowboy’ who ‘wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors in Britain’. Brand then went on to make derogatory comments about the Jonas Brothers for wearing purity rings. Brand later faced criticism, yet apologised at the VMAs the following year by saying: ‘I upset the Jonas Brothers last year, I had to say sorry to them and they forgave me. They had to, they're Christians.’
