The reason? His mother was present.
Russell Brand has been incredibly open about his failed marriage to
Katy Perry up until his appearance on
The Graham Norton Show.
The "
Rock Of Ages" star was very upset after Graham brought up his divorce during the taping of the show that aired Friday,
US Weekly reports.
Why? His mother joined him to the show and the question upset her so much that she cried.
Brand slammed Norton for not being more sensitive about his mom's presence:
"My mum is here. She got upset when you dragged up my marriage. I saw her cry, Graham. That's the reality because it's real people, Graham, that's my real mum. I have to come here to promote a film and you made my mum cry. I don't see you as that sort of person, Graham."

I might mention it, is that OK?".
