Russel Brand
Russel Brand can safely be called one of the most divisive comedians in modern Hollywood. His style of work is abrasive, in your face, and almost crippled with raunchiness. It turns out that the mans comedy is a mirror to his own emotional turmoil. Brand has famously been noted as a man who struggled with just about every addiction possible, from drugs to sex, and these addictions have weighed down on his mental health. Brand has suffered from depression and bulimia and has multiple times been forced to seek help for both. Brand seems over these issues and he is now focusing his energies toward becoming an activist for the people.

Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres hasn’t always been one of talk show televisions most revered hosts. In fact, the famously homosexual actress once suffered from her beliefs. In 1997, after coming out as a lesbian, DeGeneres faced a dark time in her career. The actress lost her television show and soon saw offers start to dry up from the rest of Hollywood. DeGeneres faced a dark couple of years in which she saw her relationships crumble, her career take a nose dive, and her own mental health come under fire. DeGeneres battle with depression was eventually won and Ellen has since become one of the most bankable television names in the world. You can catch Ellen every day on television as one of the most affable hosts around.
