LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Years ago in London drama school during his heyday of drug use -- an image he once cultivated --  Russell Brand took the title role in a production of "Macbeth."

"I took a big load of amphetamines, drank half a bottle of whiskey and staggered out as Macbeth," the actor and comedian told Reuters. "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 result?  "It was bloody stupid because I was sick everywhere," said Brand. (Click here to read the entire story)
