RUSSELL Brand visited a protest camp in New York’s financial district last
night.
The funnyman spoke to campaigners taking part in the Occupy Wall Street
demonstration in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park.
Keeping dry under a large plastic bag with a hole in the top, he chatted with
some of those who have been living in the open for up to six weeks.
It’s not the first time Hollywood star Russ has been spotted at an
anti-capitalist protest.
In 2009 he visited the anti-G20 demonstrations in the City Of London.
At the time he said: “I’m here to observe and participate peacefully in
the protest. I always come to these kinds of things, I’m very interested.
“I am interested in learning and interested in why these people have come to
this. I wonder what alternatives there are and I think it makes people
cogent of them. I think it’s also very beautiful.”
