Russell Brand: I’m the happiest I’ve ever been

Is Russell Brand deliberately trying to wind Katy Perry up?

Russell Brand has come out and said that, and we quote, he is the happiest he's ever been.

Instead of turning to our personal good friends Ben & Jerry following his split from Katy Perry, Brand opted for transcendental meditation.

If you're wondering what on Earth that is, according to Brand it's a special relaxation technique that's helped him through his divorce from Perry because it’s allowed him to 'tune into a higher consciousness'.

The Sun has quoted Russell as saying that meditation is his version of having a 'fag and or a drink'.

He added: 'I try not to compartmentalise things too much into years, but generally speaking I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life.'

'Of course I went through a divorce which isn’t good for anybody, but that was that bit of time.'

'Transcendental meditation, kundalini yoga, these things are right good for the old spirit.

'TM really works you know, it’s good for your health – both mental and physical… it’s like a shower for your brain. God knows I needed one, the muck that goes on in there.'

Russell Brand and Katy Perry split at the end of last year after 14 months of marriage.
