Simon Cowell has called Russell Brand a "hypocrite", saying that the actor should give his money back for his revolution.
The 'X Factor' boss told Shortlist magazine that Brand is getting 10 million dollars for a movie and he should donate all that money, only then Cowell would believe what the comedian stands for, the Mirror reported.
