Russell Brand recently sat down to speak with Piers Morgan, discussing things from religion to Brand’s recent legal battles. One scene, in particular, ended up going viral. Since then, commenters have been sharing their reactions on social media.
Russell Brand Was Recently A Guest On Piers Morgan Uncensored
Brand is an English comedian, actor, and television personality. He previously rose to fame by hosting the television show, Big Brother’s Big Mouth, a Big Brother spin-off. He has also become known for appearing in various films, including St Trinian’s, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, and Arthur.
Brand recently sat down with Piers Morgan for an episode of his Uncensored podcast. However, one moment from the interview would end up going viral.
During his appearance, Brand discussed a variety of issues. This included allegations of sexual assault and rape that he had been battling in the U.K. since 2025. As noted by Entertainment Weekly, the star denied the accusations. He also discussed becoming a Christian and turning to podcasting.
At one point during the interview, Morgan brought up Brand’s court hearing in February. The actor could be seen holding a Bible during the hearing, which he even brought to his chat with Morgan.
Morgan asked, “Can I go back to asking you a question about your Bible? Is that the one you took into court? What was your thinking of taking it into court? And you were seen looking at some passages. What were the relevant passages?”
The Moment Inspired A Few Responses, With Some Even Commenting On Morgan’s Own Reaction
Brand thanked Morgan for the question, saying that the passage was from the Book of Isaiah. Muttering to himself about needing to be “chill,” he spent around 90 seconds attempting to find the passage. Morgan sat silently, looking somewhat uneasy at the camera during the moment.
Eventually, Brand shared, “I can’t actually find the verse that I had that day. But this is good enough. This is from Isaiah 12.”
This is, hands down, the most uncomfortable two minutes I’ve watched in a long time. Russell Brand is asked to identify a Bible verse relevant to his, um, legal battles and spends a few minutes clumsily thumbing through Scripture and arrives at nothing. pic.twitter.com/KS0ZQTg6t2

Since the clip was uploaded online, it has since gone viral, with commenters sharing their reactions on social media. While some find humor in the scene, others shared that they understood that it was not easy to find a specific passage in a pinch. Morgan’s reaction also got a few comments. Some comments included:
- “This is, hands down, the most uncomfortable two minutes I’ve watched in a long time. Russell Brand is asked to identify a Bible verse relevant to his, um, legal battles and spends a few minutes clumsily thumbing through Scripture and arrives at nothing.”
- “No he was asked to identify the specific passage he used in court and he was thumbing through to try to find that passage. He should have just found a passage relevant to him but he was trying to answer the question. It’s entirely understandable.”
- “The answer to any bible verse-related question is ALWAYS Romans 12:17-21. What’s your favorite verse? Romans 12:17. Need to clap back at a sanctimonious scripture picker? Romans 12:17. What helped Russel Brand pray during court? Romans 12:17.”
- “Did you see the smoke coming up from his fingers every time he touched a page.”
- “Piers sat quietly as seconds turned into hours… weeks… years. Technique.”
