He's a comic by trade, but Russell Brand wasn't in a particularly humorous mood in his native England on Friday.

The British Arthur star, 36, looked gaunt and stressed departing London's Savoy Hotel, bound for Heathrow airport and a flight to Los Angeles.
PHOTOS: Look back on their zany romance
His estranged wife Katy Perry popped up for the very first time since Brand's shocking divorce filing Dec. 30 on Thursday -- smiling and showing off dyed-blue hair with Eric Berlanger, a fan, following an Adidas commercial shot in Santa Barbara, Calif.
In the wake of their split, recovering drug and sex addict Brand has been "working hard to stay clean," focusing on his 12-step sobriety programs, one insider says.

Perry, meanwhile, is ready to move on from their 14-month marriage, another pal told Us. "She wants his stuff out of their house in Hollywood."
Tell Us What You Think
21While I like Russel Brand, I can see where the guy would be difficult to live with. You know, like that friend who you really like and is a blast to hang out with, but if you had to live with the guy, he'd drive you bonkers.

I cant see any of hollywoods female wanting this guy. I also think careers get in the way unless by some master plan you make it.
She never cared about him and that was obvious in every single interview. He actually loved her and wanted to be with her truly, knowing that his partying/drug/immature days are over, he wanted to have a family with her, he has said so several times. She didn't appreciate him one bit. Too bad for her, it's her loss. I wish him the best, he deserves it and I am sure he will find it.
I do believe he is hurting and really wanted his marriage to work however he knew that he couldn't go backwards and that had to be a hard decision. I am wishing him the best to continue to stay sober and hope that the media will leave him alone!
Just compare Russell's and Katy's post-split photos. Who is hurting the most? Katy appears so heartless...Poor Russell..
I'm so worried about Russell. He had so many problems in his life and one more. I hope he stays clean and find a girl who would really love and respect him...and not only care about her career and money.
Poor Russell! Russell doesn't deserve to look like the bad guy...i don't understand why the press keep trashing. It's obvious who is hurting the most. If u see Katy's recent pic with a big smile, u'll see what I mean...
HE IS COOL , -- T' A'L' L C' H 'A 'T' . С'â??'M '-- CHECK IT YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU WANT ..
Good for him for kicking her to the curb. If she can't be supportive of his efforts to stay clean, she is not worth it. What an immature whiny baby...Katy.
Doesn't he always look that way.?
Frail and somber...damn u writers are REACHING!
