Russell Brand has replaced his penchant for partying with a proficiency for parenting.
The formerly ‘wild’ and unpredictable comedian revealed on Monday that welcoming his new daughter Mabel earlier this year has changed his life ‘Radically.’
‘I just don’t have time to be as narcissistic as I’d like to be now,’ the 41-year-old quipped on Australian program The Project.

Co-host Carrie Bickmore was keen to probe Russell on fatherhood during the interview, asking: ‘How has it changed your life?’
‘Radically,’ he replied, ‘I think it’s impossible to preempt what it will be like to have a baby.’

On the program, he compared addiction to: ‘A tumultuous, ever restless cosmic force of deranged appetite… first in the form of drugs, then in the form of sex.’
‘In this fourth book I talk about how do you tackle that problem and what is this appetite in the first place?’
The funnyman became a first-time father in 2016, and gave a candid insight into their new family when he appeared as a guest on John Bishop In Conversation on W.
