The night before Brand appeared on the Graham Norton Show to promote his new film, Rock of Ages and accused TV host, Graham Norton, of making his mum cry.

When Graham asked about his failed marriage to Katy Perry Brand was disappointed  saying he hadn’t been told beforehand that the interview would feature questions about his personal life.

He said: "My mum is here. She got upset when you dragged up my marriage," Russell’s mum Barbara was in the audience.

"I saw her cry, Graham. That's the reality because its real people, Graham, that’s my real mum. I have come here to promote a film and you made my mum cry. I don't see you as that sort of person, Graham," he continued.

There is no trace of the video clip online.
