Russell Brand is 'doing well' following his split from Katy Perry.

The British comic filed for divorce from the singer in December after 14 months of marriage but he insists he is not holding on to any feelings of negativity.

He said: 'I'm doing well. You don't need to brush it off if you don't get it on you in the first place.

'I don't have to let anything go. I don't hold on to anything negative. It's the same as zero-ness.

'It's not about letting it go. You can't let go of something you don't hold, you know. It's meaningless, [and] much of our world is predicated on meaninglessness. And I don't do that anymore.'

Two weeks ago the 'Get Him to the Greek' star was arrested for allegedly throwing a photographers iPhone through a window and Russell also claimed he is not affected by that incident either.

He told People: 'It's meaningless to me. It's like it never happened. It's meaningless.'

And the 36-year-old star - who is now dating Nikolett Barabas - also insisted he has not had the tattoo he shared with Katy removed.

Addressing claims he had the Sanskrit inking - which, like the 'Part of Me' hitmaker, was etched onto his right arm shortly after they got engaged in 2010 - erased, he said: 'Nope. Never had a tattoo removed. Never happened.'
