Russell Brand passes his driving test

"British comedian, actor, provocateur, activist Russell Brand knows how to mix it up wild and funny.  With his big mane, sharp mind, and glittering irreverence he has cut a wide swath in entertainment realms.  Played the blazing rock star in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek.  Married and divorced Katy Perry.  Toured doing stand-up last year with his Messiah Complex show.  And now Russell Brand is going all-in on politics.  Revolution, actually.  Our world, our system is worn out and we know it, he says.  Time for revolt.  Up next On Point:  Russell Brand, and revolution."
