Less than a week after resigning from his BBC Radio 2 show in disgrace Russell Brand's career appears to have recovered.
Brand is reportedly negotiating a deal to appear in the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean film (as if we need another bloody POTC film!) - as Captain Jack Sparrow's younger brother Jonathan. The deal could be worth as much as £5million for the hirsute presenter/ actor and would catapult the 33-year-old into the Hollywood A-list.
This is one of those moments when you sigh and go "do we really want another one of these films after the last couple of silver-screen disasters and do we really want more of Brand at all in any way or form? I've never thought this guy was funny and I've always changed the channel as soon as he's come on the screen... I will say one thing though; he's perfect for the role. Johnny Depp may put on a fantastic performance for Jack Sparrow (the only mitigating factor for the latter two POTC films) but Brand naturally acts and sounds like that all the time!
