Russell Brand: I need to cleanse my soul

Comedian wants to reach enlightenment

Russell Brand loves taking a dip in his private pool

Russell Brand has revealed that he's invested in a hot tub to impress the ladies.

‘I've bought a new hot tub,’ he says. ‘It was quite pricey, but it does pay for itself.

'It's self-cleansing, unlike my soul. I've started drinking chlorine in the vain hope that one day I'll reach enlightenment! It's like Lourdes... people come there to get cleansed.’

Russ has found the mini-pool has helped him relax after he received a death threat over his controversial turn at the MTV Video Music Awards last month.

The 33-year-old caused a stir in the States for mocking President George Bush and the Jonas Brothers.

‘That was a lot of fun, especially the death threats,’ he tells the Daily Mirror. ‘If you're going to kill someone, don't give them advance notice. [It] gives you a chance to prepare.'
