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.

The 38-year-old actor had recently joined a protest with British activist group Anonymous as part of a worldwide protest against austerity cuts and the disadvantages of the current socio-economic system.

Cowell thinks Brand is a hypocrite who doesn't do what he says and has actually greatly benefited from capitalism.
