Brand to quit Britain for LA?
01/11/2008 - 10:12:13Russell Brand plans to flee to Los Angeles to escape the furore surrounding his controversial prank calls to actor Andrew Sachs, according to reports.
Brand quit his job as a BBC radio presenter after outrage over a stunt in which he and fellow broadcaster Jonathan Ross recorded voicemail messages for 'Fawlty Towers' star Sachs.
In the calls, the pair made lewd comments about Brand's fling with 78-year-old Sachs' granddaughter.
And the funnyman is apparently keen to leave the UK when filming has wrapped on his TV show 'Ponderland', according to The Sun.
A source tells the newspaper: "He just wants to get on the next plane out of England - and get away from this mess.
"Russell rushed along the filming so he could get to L.A. as soon as possible."
