People like Russell have a certain psychopathy, a need to 'act out'. It can be very attractive at first. But that doesn't last long. I 've been around people like this and watching it, watching other people with similar psychopathy, they FEED off each other, then they FEED off the weak-minded, all to bolster one thing: self-confidence, ego. Because I'm such a soft tw@t I feel a bit sorry for them in a way because when nobody wants to listen to them again, or they can't perform, what have they got left? Not much I'm afraid.
