Katy Perry's marriage to Russell Brand 'was just like a tornado'

Katy Perry has compared her marriage to Russell Brand "a tornado".

Before striking up a romance with her fiance Orlando Bloom, the singer was married to comedian and actor Russell for just over a year between 2010 and 2011.

And the 'Smile' singer has now opened up on her relationship with Russell, whom she described as "interesting and stimulating".

She said during an interview with '60 Minutes Australia': "It was just like a tornado. It was everything happening once."

Katy explained she has "always resonated with friction and resistance and challenges", and gravitated toward Russell because she thought the "pressure" in their relationship would create something "beautiful".
