14. Russell Brand
Russell Brand is a self-proclaimed recovering addict to just about any vice available, and has included sex addiction in his list of formerly guilty pleasures. He has described the life of a celebrity as, “a Wonka ticket to a sex factory” and is open about how he attended a 30-day session in an American addiction clinic to relieve his proclivity for prostitutes and lap dances. In his memoir My Booky Wook the star described how upsetting it was to find out several other sex addiction program participants included pedophiles. Brand believes that his long time craving for endless sexual encounters stemmed from when his father introduced him to a prostitute, who was the first woman he slept with. When Brand split from singer Katy Perry after just 14 months of marriage, rumors spread that the root of their issues stemmed from Brand’s sex addiction.
