Comedian Russell Brand was a household name in the UK before winning fans over in the U.S. with the character Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. However, the British comedian had little to laugh at growing up. At the age of 11, Brand began binge eating and purging. He soon graduated to self-cutting which was quickly followed by drug and alcohol addiction. At the urging of his agent, the funny man entered rehab and was diagnosed with manic depression and attention deficit disorder. Brand has been clean and sober since 2002.
