London
(ANI):
Russell
Brand
binged
on
'drugs
and
booze'
before
he
went
on
to
give
intense
and
mad
performance
during
drama
school
production
of
'Macbeth'.
The
comic
played
the
title
role
in
the
Shakespearean
play,
but
he
made
the
mistake
of
getting
drunk
and
popping
a
handful
of
pills
before
being
exposed
to
the
live
audience.
And
boozed-up
Brand
shocked
the
viewers
with
his
bizarre
portrayal
of
the
Scottish
king.
"I
took
a
big
load
of
amphetamines,
drank
half
a
bottle
of
whiskey
and
staggered
out
as
Macbeth.
Before
I
went
on,
I
tried
to
get
myself
in
the
right
mood,
so
I
was
smashing
stuff
up
in
the
back
room,
cut
my
hands
and
tried
to
make
myself
puke," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
telling
a
foreign
news
agency.
"It
was
bloody
stupid
because
I
was
sick
everywhere.
Some
people
in
the
audience
thought
it
was
brilliant
because
they
liked
that
I
was
intense
and
mad.
The
people
that
ran
the
drama
school
said
''That's
not
what
we're
after'',"
the
funnyman
concluded.
