Russell Brand is Simpsonised


A bit yellow, Russell Brand is looking.

Katy Perry doesn’t need to grab the aspirin… her comedic husband has been transformed for The Simpsons.

The British comedian joins the ranks of numerous celebrities who have received the iconic yellow treatment for a cameo in The Simpsons.

His character will make an appearance in an episode titled Angry Dad: The Movie, sharing the screen with Halle Berry, Curb Your Enthusiasm’s JB Smoove, and Nick Park of Wallace and Gromit fame.

Ricky Gervais, who had a crush on Marge in a previous Wife Swap-inspired episode, will once again voice his character in this installment.

Last summer, I disclosed that Russell had secured a role in the enduring animated series.

He mentioned to me: “It’s indeed true that I’m going to be part of The Simpsons. While I was celebrating an incredible birthday party, I learned I was heading to space. Then my agent tells me, ‘Oh, The Simpsons wants you for an episode.’

“Once you’ve gone yellow, that’s when you know you’ve made it.

“My dream episode would be one where I have a cartoon relapse with Barney and Homer and enjoy getting completely smashed with them.”

Though he may not have had that opportunity, at least he had the chance to share the screen with the stunning Halle Berry.

Even if it’s just in animated form.
