Source: www.ryanseacrest.com - Thursday, November 20, 2014 Comedian-actor Russell Brand is known for pushing the boundaries with his outrageous statements and comedic roles in films Get Him to the Greek and Forgetting Sarah Marshall . Despite the 39-year-old’s adult humor and colorful language, Russell is taking aim at younger audience with his children’s book, Russell Brand’s Trickster Tales: The Pied Piper of Hamelin . “Some people were down right cynical. Some people laughed in my face when I said I wanted to write a children’s book,” he told On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday. “I just now had to read that children’s book in a kids’ school here in New York City and they were very nervous cause 90 percent of my focus has to go into not using curse words or saying something crazy. According to the British actor — who voices Dr. Nefario in the Despicable Me films — his flamboyant persona is a common thread he shared with his target demographic, which allowed the book’s content to develop organically.
