14 DAY TRIAL // Katy Perry will make her big screen debut next month, when her concert movie “Part of Me 3D” drops in theaters. It will also include footage from her marriage to Russell Brand, which goes against his wishes, it has emerged.
Asked some time ago whether she had plans to include footage of herself dealing with the breakup of her marriage, Katy said she felt it was only fair that she did so because she aimed to have the film show both the good and the bad of her personal life.
According to a new report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Russell feels that such footage should remain private, only for the eyes of both.
Ever since Katy filed for divorce from him, he's been quite the gentleman, refusing to badmouth her or their time together in public.
As such, he probably expected her to listen to him when he told her that he did not want footage of a more personal nature to be included in the film, one may assume.
“Even though Russell Brand has gone out of his way to say nice things about Katy Perry since their split, there’s buzz the Brit actor and comedian is more than a little nervous about Perry’s upcoming documentary, 'Part of Me',” the aforementioned media outlet reports.
“Brand apparently asked that any footage shot while they were married be deleted, but that request was turned down. He’s supposedly worried that some of his more caustic rants may come off as making him look bad – if they indeed are used in the film,” the Chicago Sun-Times adds.
Once asked how he was coping with divorce, Russell said that he completely understood that, sometimes in life, things simply don't go as planned and that, no matter how much two people loved each other, if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be.
On the same occasion – an interview with Ellen DeGeneres – Russell stressed that Katy would always occupy a special place in his heart because he would love her for the rest of his life.
On the other hand, the pop star said that not including footage showing she and Russell were having issues would be unfair to her fans.
“I thought it was important to show everything in between. I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect and we know we’re not perfect, at all,” she said.
“I think it’s important to start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dream you always have to be perfect or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world. So that’s why I decided to put everything into the film. In the most tasteful way,” Katy added.
