Russell Brand has finally broken his silence on his ex-wife Katy Perry's new romance with Canadian politician Justin Trudeau. At a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix on Thursday, the 50-year-old comedian unleashed his disapproval of Katy's choice in partners.
"Listen, Katy Perry, I was married to her," Russell declared to the crowd. "I still love her, and I'm glad her mom is here to hear me say this, but look."
"I was okay with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? Come on, man! Don't put me in a category with that guy! That globalist stooge," he added, his disdain evident in every word.
For those who may not be familiar, Katy and Russell were married from 2010 until 2012. Following their separation, the pop sensation got engaged to Orlando in 2019, but their relationship didn't last long, as they ended their engagement in June 2025. The exes share a 5-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Katy first sparked relationship rumors with Justin in July 2025 when they were spotted on a date in Montreal, Canada. At that time, an insider told People magazine that the two had an "instant connection." "They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes," the source said. "She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common," the confidant added.
Katy and Justin made their public debut as a couple at a cabaret show in Paris in October 2025, solidifying their relationship for all to see.
