Russell Brand, the former TV and film star known for his controversial past and reputation as a self-confessed former sex addict, has sparked intrigue by urging Lily Phillips to see her body as a “temple” during a recent video call.
Brand, now 49 and residing full-time in the US, spoke to Phillips, the 23-year-old OnlyFans model who gained notoriety after engaging in a 24-hour challenge where she claimed to have slept with 101 men. In the conversation, Brand—who now identifies as a Christian—offered Phillips his “protection” and “service”, referencing her publicized lifestyle and beliefs about non-monogamy.
Phillips, who has amassed over £2 million through her controversial content, explained her views on relationships and sex, stating, “I believe in having multiple partners rather than monogamy.” She added, “I think sex can be special, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have sex with one person for the rest of your life.”
Brand, who has previously faced scrutiny over his treatment of women and controversial humor, responded with a reflective tone, saying, “Our culture doesn’t handle sex very well. There’s going to be generations of men whose understanding of sex is influenced by your escapades, if I may call them that.” He continued, “I’m in no position to judge you, nor is anyone actually. But I am interested in the impact of sex and sex for money on your soul… and on all of us as human beings.”
During the conversation, Brand—who moved his family from Oxfordshire to Florida—quoted a Bible reference, asking, “Did you not know that your body is a temple?” This spiritual perspective marked a stark contrast to his past persona as a provocative comedian and sex icon.
The exchange has sparked significant public interest, with many reflecting on Brand’s transformation from a controversial figure to a more reflective, spiritually-driven personality.
