Lost in Translation?

Last year my friend K invited me over to watch the Brit Music Awards on BBC America. This guy Russell Brand was the host and we couldn’t figure out if he was for real or it was an act. I move to England and the guy is everywhere. He’s a DJ, he’s an author, and he has his own television show, Russell Brand’s Ponderland. There are so many things I don’t get here, starting with the hair. I am attaching a link from YouTube. If you want to see more of Russell search for Russell Brand's Ponderland on YouTube. Oh, and he's known as quite a ladies' man. That's the major part that I don't get.
