Russell Brand, 34. Wears: Jean-Michel Cazabat boots, April 77 Jeans, Rick Owens vest, T-shirt, plus leather coat. First appearance in i-D? Now! I’m appearing in it RIGHT NOW! Out of valour, pure British valour. Favourite i-D cover? The winking one. Best birthday ever? My favourite birthday ever was my first birthday, I celebrated by gliding down a birth canal and puncturing placenta. It was great! Most like to see on the cover of i-D? Gordon Brown. Nelson. A cyclops. Any one eyed person.Best thing about the noughties? The novelty new year glasses – the zeros are the eye holes. I’ll miss those. Hopes for the new decade? That we will, as a people, find a way to make novelty glasses work when there are zeros in the date.
