Russell Brand may abstain from drugs following his past addiction problems, but the funnyman doesn't think all stars need to be so careful. Brand told Rolling Stone (via Page Six) the current crop of pop stars should just say "yes."
"The top of the hit parade would look very different if teenyboppers were exposed to heroin. It would weed a lot of them out. I don't think Justin Bieber could handle [Pink Floyd guitarist] Syd Barrett's habit."
The 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' actor-comedian joked about one of the benefits of young stars succumbing to hard living.
"A lot of people, in their journey to rehab, overdose, and then, perhaps, we would be spared their awful music," he said. "It's Darwinian. It's the law of natural selection."
