It had come to light that before the troubling accusations of rape and sexual assault came out against Russell Brand, his ex-wife, Katy Perry, had a rather alarming nickname for him.
Piers Morgan once remembered this detail in an article he wrote for The Sun after interviewing with the star in 2013.
The journalist later informed Russell that he had heard from his source that the "Teenage Dream" hitmaker had chosen to dub her ex-husband "Rasputin." This name held immense significance as it translates from Russian to "debauched one," an apt description of its namesake, a historical figure renowned for his ability to lure women.
In the early 1900s, Rasputin held a prominent position in the Russian court and was well-known for his romantic abilities, earning him the moniker of "Russia's greatest love machine."
When Piers informed Russell of his nickname, the celebrity was overjoyed.
Russell Brand and Katy Perry married each other in October 2010. Unfortunately, less than two years later - while Katy was away touring - Russell filed for divorce in December 2011.
Many knew Russell as a "powerful bloke" because he could influence others with just a glance.
Instances of this power have been observed by some of those claiming he sexually assaulted them, with most describing an almost trance-like look in the star's eyes during such moments.
Conversing with Piers, Russell made the following statement: "I'm fond of Rasputin... He was pretty decent"
The story of Rasputin's healing powers is remarkable, especially concerning Tsar Nicholas II's son, who had hemophilia.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry has broken her silence amid the rumors surrounding her ex-husband, Russell Brand.
The British actor's career stands at a crossroads due to allegations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse from four women.
These reports highlighted his behavior between 2006-2013 when he was riding high in his profession.

However, his ex-wife did not refer to any of these claims when she posted an update on Instagram this week.
Rather than presenting a new song, the renowned pop star revealed her latest cowboy boots design.
An inviting picture was shared on social media, featuring the singer sitting atop a scooter.
Katy's latest post featured two words - "Scootin' n bootin" - without further explanation. While she had dropped subtle hints in past conversations about Russell's troubles, she chose to keep mum on them this time.
Nevertheless, it was clear that she was privy to all of what was going on.
