Just spell it out. There’s too many to know which one.

Edit: I’ve done some searching but I get the feeling whoever it is, is not known outside NZ.

Multiple inline replies to make sure multiple people see them in their inboxes (assuming all Lemmy instances work like mine).

It was Russel Brand. Hat tip to [email protected].

But he’s not Aus / NZ…?!?

An English speaker with a non-North American accent. So I don't have the best memory or perception of accents. It was still close enough for someone to figure out who I meant.

Wow. Dude you need to travel some.

I genuinely don't know the name. I don't follow this sort of shit. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yeah but I'd believe if someone mixed him up.

He's also not a leftist. People thought he was, but he's actually a populist who peddles in right-wing conspiracy theories.

Indeed. He’s a real arsehole.. I think he probably started off OK about a decade ago or more but descended into chucklefuckery once he could afford way more drugs in Hollywood.

Seems like he’s both long dead and not Australian or Kiwi.
