(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Russell Brand says the best parties are spontaneous.

The British actor-and-comedian is known for his mischievous sense of humour and his hell raising antics. Russell has turned over a new leaf and settled down since marrying singer Katy Perry, but still likes to let off steam with his friends.

The star says that the most fun times hes had have been unplanned.

I deplore Come at 10pm, bring a bottle and a smile. People pre-empting fun makes me go ugh, he said in an interview with Total Film. The most magical moments in my life have always happened by accident.

The 35-year-old is a former drug and sex addict and is a recovering alcoholic. He has had numerous run-ins with the police, having been arrested several times. Russell says that the period was a dark time for him, contrary to popular belief.

When I was drinking a bottle of vodka a day, doing a couple of grams of coke, smoking a few rocks of crack and digging in for a couple of bags of smack, it was not a party... he added. (C) Cover Media
