Russell Brand claims divorce is a tough process because "there is a lot of admin".
The British comic actor filed legal papers to end his marriage to singer Katy Perry in December last year. The pair got married in India after a whirlwind romance but announced their split after just 14 months of marriage.
Russell has joked that the lengthy procedure to become a single man again is difficult, but he has turned to meditation and yoga to help him relax.
"I suppose divorce is difficult isn't it? Because of the admin. There is a lot of admin," he quipped during an interview for UK TV show Lorraine. "I am really in tune with some beautiful things. Firstly, I don't want to sound like a lunatic but if you meditate and do yoga you become attuned to different energy that is constant and very beautiful. Some people would call it God, some people would call it karma; I call it sexual charisma."
Russell insists he is coping well with the breakdown of his marriage. The 37-year-old Hollywood star has only good things to say about Katy and doesn't regret tying the knot.
"It did work out in a way, because you are married for some time and that is really good and then you are not married and that's really good," he explained. "You just have to have acceptance of things, you know? She is a person that I love but now this is a new time.
"We were for that amount of time, now this is a new time."
Even the persistent rain in London has failed to dampen Russell's spirits. The star was thrilled to be back in the UK to promote his new movie Rock of Ages, claiming he misses the changeable weather since moving to America.
"Don't worry about the rain," he smiled. "If you live in Los Angeles it's nice to come here and look at the grey, dingy, low hanging sky, the sparkling rain, glorious moisture. It's nice!"

Kent's cricketers eager for Beckenham game following washout against Sussex - News Shopper
Kent's cricketers eager for Beckenham game following washout against Sussex
9:44am Wednesday 13th June 2012 in Sport By Jim Palmer
SUNDAY’S game against Surrey at Beckenham will give Kent Spitfires the chance to kick-start their Friends Life T20 season following a washout yesterday.
The Spitfires’ opening game against Sussex Sharks was called off just minutes before it was due to start at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury, after the venue was switched from a flooded Tunbridge Wells the day before.
Bexley-born all-rounder Adam Ball told News Shopper: “Twenty20 is the exciting part of the season, so obviously to have the first game rained off is quite disappointing.
“The boys were all raring to go and get out there and put in a good performance.”
But even rain clouds have silver linings, with Sunday’s fixture in Beckenham subsequently gaining in significance.
The England Under-19s captain and former Beth’s Grammar Schoolboy said: “It is always a good day at Beckenham in front of a decent crowd, against a top team in Surrey, so we’ll be looking to start off our T20 campaign with a win.
“I’m a Bexley boy so this is not too far from me – although I’m currently studying at the University of Kent in Canterbury, so it is still a bit of a trip. I’ll be popping home to see the parents.”
Kent skipper Rob Key, who grew up around Beckenham, is also looking forward to getting back to the north of the county.
He said: “I'm looking forward to Sunday, going back home. I love playing at Beckenham, we'll just hope for better weather.
“Nothing is quite the same as a day/night game which you get here at Canterbury but the atmosphere is always brilliant at Beckenham.
“It is wherever you play twenty20, but Beckenham's obviously a bit more special to me.”
