'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' actor and comedian Russell Brand recently talked about the harmful sexual themes and images depicted in pornography, highlighted in the controversial 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film.

The 39-year-old Grays, Essex, England native even shared his personal experiences with pornography, which he admits he still struggles with today.

"Sex is something that we're all interested in because of biological programming, but our attitudes toward sex become warped and perverted and have deviated from its true function as an expression of love and a means to procreation," said Brand on his 'The Trews' show on YouTube.

"I was obsessed with porn when I was a teenager. We had to find magazines and steal things from under beds, so living in this culture now where there's just icebergs of filth floating through every house on Wi-Fi is inconceivable at what it must be like to be a young adolescent boy with this kind of access to porn...I feel like if I had total dominion over myself, I would never look at pornography again."

In addition, 'Get Him to the Greek' star's brutally honest YouTube message was also featured on the Fight The New Drug website, a non-religious organization that shows negative effects of porn addiction by using statistics, facts and personal accounts regarding the subject that is currently plaguing the entire world.

"We are the first generation in the history of the world to face the issue of pornography to this intensity and scale. We're also the first generation with a scientific, fact-based understanding of the harm pornography can do," according to the Fight The New Drug organization's website statement.

"With that knowledge, we feel the responsibility to share with others that porn harms the mind, damages relationships, and affects society. Our movement uses nothing but science, research, and personal accounts to bring this issue out into the open and get people talking about something that has previously been considered taboo."

In the YouTube video, Brand also explained that softcore pornographic films like 'Fifty Shades of Grey' because some individuals in society to view women as sexual objects rather than people.

"This sort of cloud of pornographic information in even soft cultural smog, like Fifty Shades of Grey... is making it impossible for us to relate to our own sexuality and our own psychology and our own spirituality," said Brand on his 'The Trews' show on YouTube.
