Russell Tovey's marrying an ex porn star

Well I hope they have good sex.

Has Russell finally admitted he’s a bottom?

That 'ex-porn-star' only spent a week's worth of time filming his paltry number of mild performances.

His nom de porn was Ryan Stack (no thanks to OP)

None of the gay blogs have called him out for doing porn.

He was so hot, I jerked off to that photoshoot so many times

This will end in tears... and STDs.

Sometimes an aging bottom needs to plumb the depths to find a top I guess.

That's a hunk of mins @ R6

Porn is no big deal. Who cares.

It could have been worse.

Why wouldn't The Daily Mail report on Steve's former porn star status? That seems very modest of them.

You're sure it's the same guy, right?

It is obviously the same guy r12. You can even match the tattoos if you think your eyes are deceiving you. We've talked about this in a past thread, how we were shocked that none of the blogs called it out.

As long as he's not currently doing porn, it doesn't matter to them.

There must be so much raw masculine energy when they fuck. I'm sure spy satellites can pick it up.

He blushed throughout his performances.

He always looked very shy and uncomfortable.

He's pretty hot. Cock isn't all that impressive though.

He's one hot guy and Russell is lucky but my God, leave it to the Mail to not mention Looking among Russell's TV shows.

We all try to forget Looking

Many of us liked "Looking" r19, and miss there being a show about gay men on the air.

They'll get a divorce before this thread reaches 100 posts.

I loved Looking. Wish there had been a third series.

I loved Looking. Wish it was still on.

I liked it, too, esp. as a northern Californian.

The tattoo can't be missed

Helen Keller can see it is the same guy

He used be an escort while doing porn.

The pornie is so much hotter than Russell but... he's a pornie.

He probably used to be an escort until he started dating Russell Tovey

What happened to all the old bfs? How many did he go through to end up with an ex-porn star? Talk about trading downward.

They ALL escort and my husband and I always wondered what happened to him - he only did 2 or 3 scenes. We’re both total porn addicts and WORSHIPPED Ryan Stack. That quality piece of meat got snatched up!! We’ve known quite a few porn stars and hos from our young days and always thought if the special ones play their cards right, a happy ending IS possible. But that never happened to any of them. Fingers crossed for these two, LOL!

So it's only an engagement... they can still reconsider.

I think's it rather ironic that the new man has a kind of greyhound look with flat ears while the TV actor looks like Noddy with enormous elephant ears.

I loved Looking - too many faggots were up their own ass about that show. It was a TV show, who cares. Lots of gay programs are not to my liking, but I don’t spend endless time and energy hate watching them and complaining them I didn’t see myself represented or identity with any of characters.

R34 agreed

In action

R34 some people just gotta bitch and moan.

yummy

I think they make a lovely couple and I have nothing negative to say about either of them.

I wish them the best

Shame on Russell for getting a blue French Bulldog. Blue is not a permitted color according to the breed standard.

Looking sucked, gay men deserve better.

Wish them well!

So how did they meet? Grindr?

I wonder is Russell has gotten help for his drinking and drugs problem?

The boyfriend is handsome and hot!

Russell, would you like to hear some news about your boyfriend?

I looked up some pics - he's really hot in his little rugby outfits, but really not that hot in the porn shots - body and dick are fine, but I don't know. The tattoo is awful. But, he sure looks great in OP's pic with Tovey

Pornie looks super handsome, masculine, charismatic and hot. 'Actor' looks like trash trade from Brixton public swimming pool locker. Lol. someone please re-post the unbelievably hot pic where Pornie has his hot handsome manly foot resting on 'Actor's' face. Please

He’s a handsome guy and who cares about the porn.

Tovey attended the Prowler porn awards at least once. And that Connor Maguire implied that Tovey fucked either him or his scene partner, when they played... go go boys (?)... in that episode of Looking where Patrick and Tovey took their app to a convention. He's also made reference to that London gay sauna in interviews (Chariots?).

Congratulations to thees handsoom couple. Just make sure gettink good prenup in case more whores show up in newspapers

Lovely couple. I'll bet they make beautiful love. So ol' Russy likes the stank sleeve.

[quote] So ol' Russy likes the stank sleeve.

Tovey is uncut himself of course, he isn't American, we are the only western country that circumcises.

Tovey looks like inbred trailer trash. This isn't a very far fetched coupling.

It's called " inbred coucil estate lower worling class " in the UK

[quote]. And that Connor Maguire implied that Tovey fucked either him or his scene partner, when they played... go go boys (?)... in that episode of Looking

Hah, that's great, of course Tovey did.

i find Tovey very fug..pig nose..never liked his acting...i know attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder..but this guy does nothing for me...however his soon to be husband is very sexy.

[quote] There must be so much raw masculine energy when they fuck. I'm sure spy satellites can pick it up.

Mary!

The oddest part of this story is that any man appearing in gay porn would actually have a relationship with a man. Not buying it.

PLEASE SOMEONE POST THE FOOT PICTURE

I hope Russell gets to present his new husband-to-be at a royal function.

"How do you do, young man?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Now, what is it you do again?"

Is that Tovey bloke really a well known actor ? I have never even heard the name or seen the face . What is he ? Tv actor in a gay mini serie? I like the dumbo ears. He's kind of fuckable. Pornie husband is a dream boat. Who is he ' coaching' Seriously ? No rugby team will accept an ex gay pornie coach, except 'the happy fist gay players of the west village'. I wouldn't mind being 'coached'though. Yumm

This Russell Tovey intereview is presented without comment

[quote]We know that Kevin was heading off to London with Jon. If there was a spinoff that followed Kevin, what do you think he'd be up to now? I think he's probably broke up with Jon and he's probably sleeping with some porn star.

That's a bit on the nose, Russ.

R63 Have you just wandered into Datalounge for the first time?

I am rather new yes R66

Here ya lazy bitch r61, I'm in a good mood.

Oh thank you R68. . I D.I.E....

OP U DUMB

I KNOW MANY PORN STARS WHO ARE JUS REGULAR KOOL MEN.

THEY AINT ALL PAINTED WITH THE SAME BRUSH HUN

I sent Zach (of str8upgayporn) the tip that Russel Tovey's boyfriend porn used to do porn back when I first noticed and he didn't want to run it which surprised me, but whatever.

R67

Ok, well there's a handful of out gay actors that get to play roles with more than 5 lines, none of which are "I'll be your waiter tonight", so kindly put some respect on Russell's name.

R71 The journo who broke the story last summer didn't mention it either and he spoke of being a Tovey fan. It shows that even journalists can decide to go easy on "family".

Lucky bitch!

R71, he must like Tobey. If he didn’t he would written about it before you even noticed.

Tovey's exes had real jobs so the PT/coach is probably the best fit for Gypsy Russ Tovee.

"I loved Looking - too many faggots ..."

Interesting...

Welcome to the DL Steve Brockman/R70 !

R72 What are you talking about ? The entire British Equity IS gay.

[quote] Cock isn't all that impressive though.

I've told you bitches I'm a top!

How many of them are screen actors of any real standing? Tovey is among a small group. I wish that weren't the case but it is. Is Julian Morris out? Is Lee Pace or his ex? No. Tovey, Ben Whishaw, Jonathan Groff etc. are...

Is it just me ? Or isn't that picture the sexiest celeb picture you've ever seen ? This Tovey person is a lucky lucky bunny. He is in Jwan yosef territory, except way hotter. What would't I do to have this rugby pornie hunk smelly foot right on my face while rubbind the other

Smelly foot? Fack orf!

R82 doesn't understand that not everybody is into feet.

[quote]It's called " inbred coucil estate lower worling class " in the UK

I reckon they spellz reel good there, two?

THANKS R70 i lern new THING eVvery day

They're both cute. Good for them.

Russell Tovey has a fantastic body. But I will never understand why he does not get his ears pinned back. Doesn't that limit the kinds of roles he can do? He always has to play someone lower class.

The big ears are "his thing" though, it is what makes him unique and memorable.

It's not the big ears that make him lower class. Everything about him is lower class. But sexy. He looks like skippy Baxter the meth whore who gets bulldozered by Rogan Richards ( and every other muscle top. How is he alive, I don't know) He must give his pornie bf good whoring. The foot on face on instagram...

Well, now Russell has at least ONE thing in common with the President.

A good match - Tovey is trashier than one first suspects and the ex porn star Brockman/Ryan Stack turned out to be the hooker with a heart of gold!

No, I don't understand how someone can NOT be into feet

LOL. This guy was promoted as straight on Randy Blue and never got fucked. No question whose the bottom here.

So you recognize the marketing of him as straight was bullshit, but you think the marketing of him as a top must be legit r94.

Chad Douglas was a top on screen too....

He looks straight. Sends straight vibes. Russell is lucky

He looks masculine, not straight.

The foot on face instagram pic tells you everything you need to know about who's top who's bottom. So sexy

R95 - every one knows porn is real! Don't be so foolish and ruin my fantasies!

[quote]He looks masculine, not straight.

Yeah gay men are our worst enemy when it comes to this kind of stuff. We reinforce that gay means feminine, and someone who isn't feminine is "straight-acting" all the time.

Looking was boring trash, glad it got canned.

Ex pine guy fucks Patrick Dunne with intensity - no question that he’s the top of Russell’s dreams

Yes, let's salute the only American show about gay men being cancelled! r101.

Why exactly did it make you happy it got cancelled...? No one was forcing you to watch it.

But of course.

No one wants ' feminine' guy. Gay love men. Russell 's pornie fiancé looks straight. 💕

"Has Russell finally admitted he’s a bottom?"

He's British- it's a given.

That's what I meant earlier. When it comes to 'british actors', do you really need to have them 'openly' gay ??

R31 Ryan Stack and Andrew Stark is one of my go-to scenes. They are/were both so hot.

So nice for Dato Foland to drop by DL. R104

Will Andrew Stark be snubbed his wedding invite?!

r104, they have the homosex where the man goes up into the other man!

Mama said, here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down!

Look at the openly gay new stars. From after gay marriage. Tovey, luke, the 3 Chrises, they all look masculine. The old stereotype gay= sissies is dying. Hopefully we won't have the " how I met your mother' type anymore. Gay is the new straight. who doesn't want a straight hunk ? Tovey's rescue pornie is HOT

[quote]who doesn't want a straight hunk ?

Everyone? Because a straight hunk,by definition, has no sexual interest in men.

I'd like a gay or bi hunk please.

But then you know that, and obviously find it funny to keep praising guys by calling them straight. I see you also said you were new here, don't feel as if you need to stay...

What's the attraction to porn stars and prositutes. They are not good husbands.

[quote] What's the attraction to porn stars and prositutes.

Their facility with needlepoint, Rose.

Who's the bottom ?

Why buy the cow...?

Lots of straight guys enjoy dude sex R113. never had one perhaps ?

R53. It's called mutilation.

Russell Tovey And His Rugby Player Boyfriend Just Got Engaged

No shit R120

[quote]Lots of straight guys enjoy dude sex

The delusion is strong with this one.

If a straight guy enjoys sex with men, he's not straight.

[quote] no question that he’s the top of Russell’s dreams

No question...?

Not even one?

He'll bottom once a year, on Russell's birthday. Or Christmas.

So how was he paying his rent before he got his sugardaddy in Tovey?

He doesn't seem to have a real source of income.

Jesus Christ, they are just so masculine.

I'm still not convinced Tovey is gay. All that raw fucking masculinity...it is almost too much to comprehend.

Oh, please. There's nothing straight about Monkey Boy. That girl has been ridden more than a carnival pony.

I detect a degree of facetiousness in R128's comment, R129...

At least Russell got a look at the goods before getting involved. Seriously though, unlike certain Slovenian hookers, I wouldn't hold the guy's past against him.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

RT can't be satisfied with just one dick for the rest of his life. Hell, no!

The new husband played on the same gay football team as pretty-boy Alexis Caught.

He is marrying a literal whore r133. I doubt Steve Brockman cares about monogamy.

R135 Then why get married, and open himself to legal liability. Hope he gets a pre-nup.

Gay weddings are very in right now. A very easy thing to show off on Instagram. I bet they're already looking for a surrogate.

Who is Russell Tovey's publicist? They deserve a fat bonus.

I am in awe how everyone is treating this with kid gloves. "Rugby Player" Steve Brockman (it wasn't even a professional team!), not porn star Steve Brockman.

Didn't Willam basically do that? He maintains he had an Off Broadway gig and told the producers he was only available until X date. He claims he knew Sharon was the winner when she alone got to reshoot her entrance... Then again, he also claims that he sat on the Brit producer's dick at the wrap party - shouldn't he have been in New York then?

[quote]Didn't Willam basically do that?

Willam was engaged to Steve too?

Ha ha wrong thread. Willam may well have sucked Russell off, though.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Russell. He'll smell like dogs!

[quote]Then why get married

Steve Brockman asked him, Russell said he was shocked.

Of course Brockman wants to latch on, an aging himbo with no real skills needs someone to support him.

R143 Then I don't see this going well.... when the one with all the money and power in the relationship was not the one who actually wanted to get married.

Even Midshipman Frame would have known better.

I've read somewhere that Tovey's parents are or were anti-gay bigots, I know they must be thrilled their little Russell is marrying a cum-drenched whore!

[quote]Tovey's parents are or were anti-gay bigots, I know they must be thrilled their little Russell is marrying a cum-drenched whore!

Other then Sally Field, what parent would.

I went to Steve Brockman's insta, clicked on the link to his "fitness website" and it is a squarespace page that doesn't exist yet.

Russell is our very own Margaret Whiting!

[quote] Russell is our very own Margaret Whiting!

Russell is our Richard Gere in Pretty Woman!

R119, it's called sensible, sanitary and aesthetically pleasing.

[quote]I wouldn't go anywhere near Russell. He'll smell like dogs!

That's not dog. That smell is 100% pure MAN MUSK!

The masculinity just drips off Tovey.

RT looks like a handsome wholesome lad many years younger than his actual age. His ears & dogs are adorable too. The nellie bully-queens are extra mean an jealous tonight/this AM.

He really is "the worst gay ever." Still it beats prancing around and singing in the streets.

I found him hot before I ever knew he was gay.

It was the masculinity, right R156?

Dude sex for straight guys is a laughable concept. Hahahahahaha the delusion is so real. But a man can have surgery and hormones and become a real female woman. That is the truth.

Some of you need to quit being so judgmental. Who cares if the guy did porn? You obviously watched & enjoyed his performances & there is nothing morally wrong with him having done it.

Grow up & let him live his life.

Yes R57, It was, along with his boyish charm, and blowjob handle ears.

Hot husband- to -be presenting hole to the world. So sexy. Give him a break. He proposed, good for him. Russell is obviously his saving grace and is willing to rescue him. He did porn for 2 minutes years ago, and it's not like he was gang banged or shat on. He is super handsome, masculine and sexy. Tovey looks like something out of the lord of the rings. Apart from the cute dumbo ears, doesn't have much going for himself. Hopefully Hot husband-to-be can have the internet cleaned before the children hit school

Whenever I read the name Russell Tovey i feel the urge to scoot over the floor like a dog having worms from all that raw masculinity coming from totally masc Russell who got so masc thanks to his dad raising him so masc.

R159, you're just reading posts from bitter, jealous bottoms who are fem & undesirable... and further triggered by Tovey's interview where he said he was raised to be masculine.

It's immoral to act in such a jealous way. The lord's 10 commandments say DO NOT covet thy neighbor's top for a reason!

How long ago was the porn made? Brockmann looks at least 10 years younger in the scenes. He's aged really well-- very masculine.

At least he's good in bed...

[quote]Some of you need to quit being so judgmental. Who cares if the guy did porn?

What exactly do you expect? Any celebrity who marries a porn star is going to get some shit about it.

Finally a website points out the truth. Was waiting for someone to do it.

[Quote] it's not like he was gang banged or shat on.

Thanks! I've been straining trying to think of my next movement.

[quote]How long ago was the porn made?

His scenes came out in 2011 and 2012.

Russell Tovey at the Prowler Gay Porn awards in 2015.

Was he already dating Brockman at the time?

Prowling indeed

R165 I don’t see why they should. As I said, everyone watches & enjoys porn. To then declare the performers “tainted” and “unmarriageable” strikes me as both Puritanical & hypocritical.

Obviously Russell doesn’t care & neither should anyone else. I think shaming either one of them is pathetic and childish.

That’s one sex tape I’d like to see leaked

R172, Stop! You're giving me heart palpitations.

So I was just checking out Ryan Stack's solo vid to get a sense of the future Mr. Tovey

The poster above was wrong, he didn't claim to be straight, he said he was bisexual but lately he was "more into blokes". They also talked about how he contacted Randy Blue about working for them because he said he was a fan.

Russell has always said that he prefers only really masculine men, like himself.

How could Steve Brockman degrade himself like that. Not about doing porn, I mean being involved with Tovey.

R175 he has actually never said that

Has Russell made sex tapes with his camera-ready bf yet? Please leak them for our entertainment.

I wouldn't mind POLISHING THE RIFLE!

Russell 's dad must be so proud

Many here are suffering a wicked Victorian hangover.

"Well, now Russell has at least ONE thing in common with the President."

Hemorrhoids ?

If I'm hung over from anything, it's the raw, masculine energy that's running through this thread.

That foreskin is just tragic.

R183 That intoxicating masculine odor comes right off the screen, doesn't it?

No one likes the sissy faggot. Russell is lucky bitch

[quote]That foreskin is just tragic.

You no like?

[quote][R183] That intoxicating masculine odor comes right off the screen, doesn't it?

Does it ever. I've grown a three inch beard, all my shirts are flannel now, and I've been doing burpees all morning. And that's just since last night.

Everyone has a past. Why are gay men such slut shamers? The only reason you know he did porn is because you watched him doing porn. You're no better than him. He can be happy and have a life just like anyone else. Something unseemly about the extreme desire to shit on someone's happiness.

[quote]Russell is lucky bitch

Back in the real world Steve Brockman is the lucky one. Russell Tovey might not be an A-lister but he actually has a career and a source of income.

I believe the poster who said Brockman was an escort, he doesn't seem to have had any real job. Though maybe he was a construction work? His insta profile lists something about construction.

[quote]Something unseemly about the extreme desire to shit on someone's happiness.

You must be new around here.

Poor idiot Tovey

[R16] He wasn't blushing, he was on ED meds.

As they say, "once a hooker, always a hooker!"

I want to box those ears

Tovey is such a dolt. I don't suspect he was "acting" in LOOKING

That pic at R187 will cause half of DL to shriek in horror.

I am team pornie. Russell will have all the masculine sex. Russell is lucky. Pornie could easily have married old and rich

I want to see Tovey suck Brockman's toes.

Oh R198 you are wicked. Me too me too ( this foot pic...mmmmmmm)

When did gay porn actors become husband material?? I guess there's no hope for love for us clean, decent, respectable non-whores.

Sexy cuties

So basically, one nobody is marrying another nobody. So interesting.

He would have been so hot if he was circumcised.

R199, They both have sexy feet, don't they? It's awfully hot knowing Tovey digs feet in real life too!

Hmm, is Russell Tovey the first actor to marry a pornstar? Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone else.

Look at him setting trends.

Amen, R189

Steve Brockman had a real job. He did scaffolding with his Saxton Scaffolding business, he had been doing that since 2012. That business getting off the ground is why he did not return to porn.

The coverage of him was odd, it seemed they were ashamed of both his gay porn past (understandable) but also that he was a blue-collar worker which is fucked up. The PR release for him was rugby player because that sounds "better", as if that was a job and not a club team he did for fun.

He worked in construction, a perfectly honest way to make a living. Also he is 29, born in July '88 if you are curious.

R207 29? He looks 49... So Russell is the daddy?

Prenups?

R209 Pretty sure Russell's lawyers/agents will insist on it.

R207 I assumed they were focusing on the fitness training thing bc he’s starting that business & it’s free advertisement.

[quote] Soon, boyfriends and marriage will concern you. No man likes a slut for long. Only the worst type will marry one.

R210 It'll end in tears

R212, dammit, you sent to YouTube to search for clips, what a tear jerker of an ending.

I remember the boyfriend he was a bisexual guy from Randy Blue. Will Russell allow him to play way with women when the need takes hold. wonder if it'll be an open marriage?

[quote]I assumed they were focusing on the fitness training thing bc he’s starting that business & it’s free advertisement.

Free advertisement for a fitness company that doesn't exist yet, he should have finished making the website before the announcement.

Just a question, do all americans get circumsized? I thought it was only jewish americans. And when does that happen ?

Not "all", but yes the vast majority of guys porn in America get circumcised r217. We are noteworthy for our cut dicks.

born*, nice freudian slip there.

Thx. Do christians do it then and at what age ? I am amazed at you DLers kindness when I announce I am not familiar with US culture and ask questions. You are all very gracious. Thank you

R220 Where are you from?

R220 I had a colleague (Italian American) who had his newborn son snipped when he was a few months old.

217, during the post WW! years almost all American men were circumcised primarily because of the American obsession with hygiene. In the last fifteen years or so, though, more American parents have not been circumcising their sons because they feel it is unnecessary, although by and large the majority still are circumcised.

I am french/italian

one thing is for sure... neither of their asses bounce when getting hit from the back.

They are terribly fit, what a great looking couple. And dumbo here has the perfect ears. Talk about love cups. Pornie obviously has a great time ( see hot foot-face play, Dumbo obviously worships him)

Dumbo X___________X

I think it's nice that a celeb dates a (former) porn star. It's just unfortunate that it's creeps like Calvin Klein (Nick Gruber aka Sean Cody's Zeke), Don Burns (Sean Cody's Ashton), or Russell Tovey who are doing the dating.

Why is the gay media protecting Russell Tovey of all people????? He's a piece of dogshit. A smug, Dumbo eared, self-loathing bottom who is pushing 40 and whose only notable credit is a cancelled HBO show with Jonathan Groff as the lead. What is worth protecting?

you heifers have to be under 21 talking all this dumb shit

It is pretty crazy r229. Every single decently mainstream gay website refuses to say Steve Brockman worked for Randy Blue.

If he claims he’s bisexual, did he also do porn with women?

When Calvin Klein dated someone who did gay porn the gay blogosphere was immediately all over it.

But Tovey they want to protect.

When Ricky Martin's boyfriend Jwan Yosef just had a nude floating around the gay blogosphere was immediately all over it.

When Elton John was seen with someone who did gay porn while on vacation the blogs were all over it.

I'll stop, but you get my point. There is an unusual and concerted effort to not "embarrass" Tovey.

Maybe because most people are “Russell who?”

Its just a thought, but maybe you guys should support the few people who aknowledge publicly being part of your community, instead of trashing them and throw them under a truck ?

I don't know who is the handsomest, Jwan ( longer hair suits you sir) or Russell's hot masc bisex foot provider rugby blue collar ex pornie and escort. These guys are deadly hummmmm

[quote]If he claims he’s bisexual, did he also do porn with women?

Of course not. Though he only made four porn scenes, though he was still so popular he was put in Randy Blue's Hall of Fame.

No wonder. He is drop dead gorgeous. And so masc

Two beautiful men, good for them

Perhaps the gay websites are more interested in maintaining a good relationship with Tovey’s publicist (who likely has other important clients) than “breaking” a story that everyone already knows about & which non-Puritanical adults don’t care about.

[quote]When did gay porn actors become husband material?? I guess there's no hope for love for us clean, decent, respectable non-whores.

Don't be silly, you don't need be a gay porn star to have success in gay dating!

....You just need to look like you could be. Sorry, when your mom told you it was inner beauty that counted she hadn't met gay men.

Has anybody mentioned yet that the boyfriend is masc?

There are no ex-porn stars. Only porn stars on hiatus.

[quote]which non-Puritanical adults don’t care about.

You can pretend this is a non-story, but as far as I can tell and what googling has shown me no known actor has ever married a porn star.

Alphonso Ribiero (of Fresh Prince of Bel Air) was dating one for a while but didn't marry her.

So, Tovey's gay Charlie Sheen...

I cannot even BEGIN to imagine the receptive anal intercourse that is going on!

R246 you forgot about Donald Trump

Who cares that his porn past isn't mentioned. Society is filled with people wanted to rag on others. Also, it's not like he was a porn STAR.

Rick Fox married a porn star.

I'd rather my son be 'prowling' than 'prancing'. Much more masculine.

I'd hate to be there when the laughter stops.

I love how in an old interview Russell claimed he was seeing someone who "wasn't in the entertainment industry". Well, technically, porn is very much in the entertainment industry. Nice try to throw us off the trail.

He only started dating Brockman last year r254, so if it was earlier than that it would have been a different BF.

R254 Well, depends on how old the interview was, Russell has had at least 2 ex'es (AFAIK) before this one.

You really can't blame Steve Brockman for wanting to show off his "talents". He is quite stunningly handsome, and has nothing to be ashamed of. If I was as nice looking, I would think it would be a waste not to record my beauty for all the world to see.

Did Queerty see me calling them out earlier? They fold and cover the story.

R258 were you disappointed that they don’t seem to think it’s a big deal bc frankly they just proved that there is no “story” here beyond “look at pictures of this hot guy”

[bold] I'M SOO HAPPY FOR THEM!!! 😭😭😭 I was really rooting for this

[/bold] P.S. Steve seems so adorable 😳

R16 Yes thats what makes him adorable

R21 ??

Daddy, God damn!

Nah r259, I have no issue with the way they covered it. I was just confused that they weren't covering it.

Ew. Shame on you r71

R78 doesnt even know who Steve is and how he speaks

This thread could use a nice healthy dose of sex positivity!

R94 He said he is bisexual but more into blokes. He also said that he doesn't bottom.

r94 he said it on his audition/solo scene

r105 Steve is also british af

Does he really need to r177? Obviously Tovey would only be interested in masculine guys.

Andy Cohen best friendship in 3...2...1...

He never looked butcher.

R272 nope Andy’s going to be jealous because he had a thing for Russell & it (obviously) didn’t go his way

R272 As if that chubby, short, cross-eyed Jew even had a chance.

[quote]So I was just checking out Ryan Stack's solo vid to get a sense of the future Mr. Tovey.

r174, not too familiar with these guys. Is Tovey bi as well? If not, what's the plan when Stack starts being 'more into chicks'?

Tovey has never called himself bi r276, always said gay.

And please, Stackman was barely trying to claim he was bi, freely admitted he was more into guys. Dude is gay.

You guys know being bi doesn’t mean a person absolutely must have both pussy & dick at all times, right?

Yes. but he was 22 at the time and saying for the last couple of years he had been getting more and more into guys.

Sounds like the cliche of a guy who is "bisexual" at 20 and gay by 25.

This will end in tears.

This will end in cumshots.

R280 tears of joy as they shag each other to ecstatic collapse

[quote]You guys know being bi doesn’t mean a person absolutely must have both pussy & dick at all times, right?

r278, yes, but many bisexuals will also tell you that their attractions between the two genders fluctuates over time, be it years/months/weeks or even daily in some cases. They call it a 'bi-cycle', I know, cutesy name, but that's what they call it.

This will not end well.

Maybe he’s heteroflexible

R283 I am bi and I assure you capable of committing to a monogamous relationship. Not that I know if they have one, and it’s fine if they don’t, I just don’t like the automatic equation of bisexuality with inability to stick to one person.

Also, who knows if he is even bi. That could have just been what he thought at the time or just a scripted line.

r282 i read that as “ecstatic prolapse.”

i may have been reading datalounge for too long.

I don’t mind Tovey as a person or actor. I guess I find it a bit disappointing that when any open gay celebrity gets a boyfriend (who isn’t also famous), these boyfriends are always muscled, blatant escort types.

It was the same with George Michael. That boyfriend of his used to be on gaydar commercial section offering escorting. Luke Evans parades around with a porn star muscle bloke too.

It’s the same as straight Male celebrities suddenly becoming engaged to big breasted porny looking women. Everyone is going to say “she’s only with him for his money”.

We all know what muscled, good looking men are like. They only go for the same type. Tovey is hot in a real kind of way, but let’s not kid ourselves, this bloke only paid attention to him because he was famous.

Many men (straight and gay) are quite shallow.

There are people who don't fit that. Look at NPH. David Burkta was his same age, attractive but in a normal way, and someone he clearly just shared interest with and looked at as a good partner. It wasn't a pick for shallow reasons.

[quote]Prenups?

No, Freenips!

R288 not really getting your point here. Luke Evans is gorgeous, George Michael was one of the most beautiful men of all time, and Tovey is certainly not a dog. I’m sure good-looking men do not need to close their eyes & hold their nose to have sex with any of these guys just for the money.

It’s funny when gay guys that have probably slept with 10x more guys than porn stars stigmatize them as the whores. Having been filmed or paid is just details. The bf seems like a legit guy and never understood the Tovey hate.

So where did Russell Tovey meet the cheap whore, anyway? (Stan, was it?) Has he explained? I'd rather hear it from one of you than read some absurd news article.

On a different topic, why are British talk show hosts vastly more entertaining than American ones?

Oh look, its a happy and out gay couple. DL hates them.

I believe this is on their gift registry , they are practical couple and chosen the model that is top rack dishwasher safe !!!

[quote]Oh look, its a happy and out gay couple. DL hates them.

Oh please, I'm surrounded by happy and out gay couples in real life, and I'm thrilled for them. Taking rude potshots at celebrities, on the other hand, is a time-honored tradition, whether they're straight or gay.

I wouldn't use Gio and Tommy as your example. There are definitely people who get unfair levels of ridicule on this board. A lot of them.

Tommy actually earns everything said about him. He is such a ridiculous human being.

He is a male prostitute - a homosexual escort!

How come no-one has mentioned that Ryan has gotten thick since his Randy Blue days?

Those that say Tovey is a nobody or doesn't work must not watch much TV.... He has been starring in ABC's Quantico for 3 yrs... New season begins 26 APR 2018. He plays a former MI6 agent, and possible double agent. Great show if anyone unfamiliar wants to catch more of Tovey. His character is gay too, which is nice. One hot bloke!

One hot MASCULINE bloke, that is.

George Michael's longest relationship was with Kenny Goss. Hardly a himbo.

And Elton is with David Furnish, of course.

Colton Haynes' husband is no escort type. Gary Clayton's boyfriend is balding (so was Tovey's ex). The ging from Modern Family is punching above his weight looks wise but the husband isn't a himbo. The Big Bang Theory guy's husband is regular looking. Denis O'Hare's husband is no muscled escort.

Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein favour hookers as boyfriends, yes, but I don't think they're the rule at all.

I think plenty of gay celebrities fuck porn stars and hookers but they don't "Prettt Woman" them.

*PrettY

R296 But they're not famous..

Can anyone decrypt what Steve said on his audition vid? His accent could be a bit thick sometimes..

Just right after when he gets asked who is his favorite RB model, he says a name and then mentions Chris Rockway. Who was the first guy he said?

Clearly, even though dumbo is one hot bitch, pornie is so far out of his league that fame is playing a big part here.but I wish them well.pornie seems legit and lovable. So handsome, built and MASCULINE. but I don't see no children in the household.daddy has presented hole to the entire world

Goddamn all this fucking masculinity on parade just makes me want to eat bacon and fart!

Somebody get me a goddamn brewsky!

Yeah they are so unbelievably MASCULINE. Look at Tovey masculine mug resting on pornie's butch foot. TESTOSTERONE

[quote]Tovey said he had been “branded the worst gay ever” after telling the Observer of his satisfaction at his father’s refusal to send him to Sylvia Young Theatre School, attended by some of his friends.

[quote]During the interview, he talked about how he bulked out at the gym, and added: “I feel like I could have been really effeminate, if I hadn’t gone to the school I went to … If I’d have been able to relax, prance around, sing in the street, I might be a different person now. I thank my dad for that, for not allowing me to go down that path.”

[quote]In an interview to mark his role in Banished, a new BBC drama about 18th-century convicts, Tovey added that his education had “probably given me the unique quality that people think I have”.

[quote]He said: “I surrender. You got me. I’m sat baffled and saddened that a mis-fired inarticulate quote of mine has branded me worst gay ever.”

Andy Cohen is infamous for his relationships with porn stars too. Do these guys pass the prostitues around to each other?

R312 if you watched any of Steve's vids, you would understand that he is too lovely to be compared to a whore.

Seriously, be happy for Steve and Russell, they look good together!!

R311. He was not wrong. Indeed it was an incredibly insightful and refreshingly honest statement — masculinity and effeninacy are BOTH learned behaviours (unlike orientation) and are inevitably freighted with different cultural expectations and implications (like it or not) ; if a “fem” gay identity is something to proud of then why shouldn’t he be allowed a pride in his “masc” identity too?

He should be allowed to have any gender presentation he chooses. Also, he was answering a dumb question about how he as an out gay actor got straight parts, not just out of the blue declaring “I LOVE BEING BUTCH, THE ONLY WAY TO BE”

It was also years ago. People evolve. But apparently if someone does an adult film or says they like their gender role once in their life some folks will still be talking about it until they die.

[quote]-Gio and Tommy

No, R294. We hate the endless threads you’ve shit all over DL with, twat.

Steve is pretty scorching and the porn ermm "star" past is irrelevant. But the fact he is bisexual means Russell will do 'til some hot rich woman comes a long.

R317 why do you assume a bi guy would always ultimately choose a woman?

ide pay good $$$ to watch them fuk like naked dogs.

And now everybody is mentioning the porn work

Marriage won't happen now. Sad

russells hole is avail again???

His masculinity killed Billy Graham.

[quote]Just right after when he gets asked who is his favorite RB model, he says a name and then mentions Chris Rockway. Who was the first guy he said?

He just says "It's gotta be Chris, aye, Chris Rockaway..."

[quote]Those that say Tovey is a nobody or doesn't work must not watch much TV

Tovey isn't the biggest name in America, but this is a gay board, so I would expect gay men to of course know who he is.

The relationship is DOOMED! I've discovered the biggest scandal.

Steve Brockman can't suck cock! Look at his video with Andrew Stark, Stark keeps trying to push him do better when he is sucking him off. His blowjob game looked weak, he must be bi!

The inherent mascness of them both should overcome any fellatio deficiencies.

OMG they're so mmaaaasc ! Russell is not the worst gay ever anymore. He is the BEST gay. Ever.

If Brockman can't handle a masculine cock then all bets are off!

G-d the masc troll is annoying. Haven't quite figured out your angle here. Even if his betrothed is bi, as long as Tovey can bottom, I don't think he'll stray. In my near 1/2 century's worth of experience, usually bi men are tempted or inclined to cheat on women if they're bottoms, and their holes are twitchin' for a poundin'. Conversely, bi tops will stray from another top if he doesn't get to fuq. If Tovey can't or won't bottom, there may be a problem. As a top, I can personally attest to this incompatibility w/a previous lover who really needed to fuq: he started up w/his ex girlfriend behind my back. Hope it works for them. I'll sleep with bi men, but not date or have serious relationships with them.

[quote]G-d the masc troll is annoying. Haven't quite figured out your angle here.

It isn't complicated. Tovey gave an interview where he talked about how thankful he was he had a homophobic father that didn't allow him to act like a sissy and caused him to become the masculine gay he is today. It is was widely mocked and caused some people to have a problem with Tovey to this day.

That are just poking fun.

I don't have a problem with Tovey. All that raw masculine energy that he exudes makes it impossible to dislike him.

When he was on Legends of Tomorrow, even the hetero guys had to take cold showers between takes.

Like I said, I'd be damned if my boy was going to be a poofter prancing around and dancing in the streets!

I said boy you better hit that gym and give that man ass a poke like it is a woman's fanny!

Foreskin = gross

Hopefully he can use some of his sloppy bottom's TV money and finally pay for the snip.🤞

Are they both going get one r334? Russell Tovey is uncut too.

There are so many judgmental prudes on this site. Meanwhile some of you are in a lifelong monogamous relationship with your left hand.

Tovey says that extra man meat seals in the masculinity.

Piss off r317

Love their foreskins, the circumcise tribe can prefer their surgically-altered meat, but please let the rest of us enjoy ours au naturel w/out the juvenile comments.

R324 Thanks lol It all makes sense now! 😂😂

Like, WHEN will Tovey not bottom ???

R326 he's kinda shy. You dont know what happens when there are no cameras around

Russell Tovey doth protests too much- another self loathing bottom

To all Tovey's detractors here: Being glad he had a good role model in his own father is in no way homophobic. Growing up in Britain, it is definitely easier to not be automatically pegged as a pouf, or a poufter. Certain neighbourhoods can be much rougher than others. Tovey has a bit of a working class sound to his accent, (Essex) and there definitely was an advantage to his being able to "pass". Naturally this enables him wider casting in leading male roles too. Why do all gay men need to be femme or queens? Just because his father may have reacted in a homophobic manner to young 17 yr old Tovey's coming out to him, should not give cause for people to assume that brushed off on Tovey himself.

Wait! Russell Tovey is GAY ???? My second cousin once removed knows a guy who was a runner on one of Tovey's projects, and he said that all the crew were scared and threatened by his masculinity. No way is a faggot. Faggots are skinny prancing poufs who dance and sing in the streets. Tovey is as butch as they come

Toss off already R345.... Are you the bloody MASC troll?

[quote]Why do all gay men need to be femme or queens?

Are you having fun playing with your strawman? No one has ever said that dear, and you know it.

[quote]Being glad he had a good role model in his own father

Ah yes, that great role model who told Tovey's he wished he could make him take hormones or undergo conversion therapy to make him straight.

R334, I'll bet they do.

The first things I did when my private practice took off was to buy Invisilines for me, because my family was too poor to pay for braces, and to have my husband circumcised, because his family was too poor to take care of it. These were the best decisions I have ever made.

R344 How stupid are you? Some queens couldn't "pass" if their lives depended on it, "good" role model or no. And they shouldn't have to even try.

People are joking about Tovey on this thread. There's no white hot anger. He put his foot in his mouth on a few occasions and got called out on it. His career didn't end. He's not under constant assault. So, relax.

I've seen Tovey's mother on the red carpet. Has he ever brought his father?

There's animosity toward men who fit in and can "pass" as straight masculine men on this thread, as in real life. (and the whole DL site for that matter!) I suspect some queens are jealous, and act out. Many younger gay people compete in some odd contest who can be the cruelest, cattiest, queens too. If you don't fit in with this clique, you're denigrated., and defamed. These types are a huge turn-off to many different people, gay and straight. These people politicise every last trivial thing, are too politically correct, and come off as cunts most of the time. You know who you are.

Because he has to have the hottest piece of ass he can find?

R351 has a fantastic sense of humor. He is soooo fun -said no-one, ever

Good for Russell! He is proving that you can be gay and successful at career and love. UNLIKE pathetic loser Perez Hilton who will die alone with his disgusting loose skin.

You're on DL while trying avoid cnuts? Good gane plan.

R351, I suspect you're full of shit.

No, R353, He simply doesn't find most queens funny, suffer them well, nor does he idolise femmes, as so many of you do!

With Donald Trump in the White House, are we really attributing cruelty and cattiness to effeminacy? Anyone can be cruel and catty. No one has the franchise on it.

[quote] He is proving that you can be gay and successful at career and love.

Proving what exactly? Good-looking white guys can find boyfriends?

How about idolising nobody? Wait, that wouldn't work. The war in your head couldn't carry on if you didn't have a group to put down while you elevate another. Are you a drag queen are something? Vicious queens can be avoided just as vicious "good ol' boys" can be as well. No man suffers for being traditionally masculine.

DL idolizes femmes? Ahahahahahahaha

R349, R344 here. Why should I "relax" as you implore me to do so? I've said nothing rude, nor have I denigrated anyone here. I can defend Tovey all I like. You do not get to have the last say. Completely disagree with you on " he put his foot in his mouth" as well. He was merely being honest, and many took it the wrong way. Never did I say people here were angry, or white-hot w/anger either. I simply and fundamentally see this as complely different from yours, and the reigning point of view here; that is all.

*or something

R351/R357, you know referring to yourself in the third-person is a sign of mental illness right?

R361, yeah, I LOL'd at that one.

Yeah "DL idolizes femmes" is the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've seen someone post on this board in years.

You might as well sign your posts as someone that stumbled in with this story and knows nothing about this place.

R360, Perhaps I should posit, Tovey was taken to task, and mocked several times for saying he was grateful he grew into being a man, and learned to be masculine. There is nothing wrong with him felling that, or saying that.

He wasn't being honest. Tovey was a child actor. Stage school would have no more made him a flaming queen than being on a TV/film set did, or working at the National Theatre. Flaming queens abound in all those environments. His thesis was entirely flawed. He sang show tunes with Jonathan Groff in between takes, ffs. He didn't learn the "right" way to present. His comments were silly and really quite dim.

To each his own R367. I think you're missing the essence of his point. It has nothing whatsoever to do with theatrical pursuits, or singing show tunes at all. I've listened to him defend these comments twice. He can mince around, or switch roles all he wants, yet , in theatre, that's not what he was referring to. Growing up in Essex is much different from other places. Times surely have changed, but there are still easier places in Britain to be tres gay, or obvious than Essex. It comes down to a stifling mental climate also.

[Quote] he was grateful he grew into being a man, and learned to be masculine.

What else might he have grown into? While, unlike his fiance, I haven't seen his cock and balls, I'm fairly certain Russell growing into being a man was inevitable.

I will reiterate what I said above: he never said it was “right” to be butch. He was asked why he got straight parts & he gave the honest answer. Bomer, Luke Evans and any other out gay actors are also given straight parts for the same reason.

The same people bitching & moaning about his answer are the same ones who claim they can’t buy even slightly more femme actors (Groff is a prime example) in straight roles. The point is, no matter what, certain gay men don’t want other gay men to be successful, in any role, at any level of “masc”ness or “fem”ness, point blank.

So why should Russell, or you, or anyone else who passes, care about being mocked or taken to task from a bunch of "cruel, catty and queeny" femmes? He now has his fiancé (who according to at least one poster above is "straight", and thus the Ultimate Goal was reached) so there you go...

Crabs in a bucket syndrome. He’s not a fey fembot. Get over it. Move on. Or continue your boycott. Shut up.

Thanks R370.... Glad someone came to my aid here.

Morrissey grew up in Salford. Dud he fail dismalky in "learning to be masculine". We are a combination of nature and nurture. Your commentd suggest a foolish belief in nurture as a "cure all". It's sort of funny to read that on a gay forum. That same logic could be applied to other things deemed by many to be nature - sexuality, for exanple.

I always remember seeing a show where siblings not raised together were united. Tge sister remarked that the brother walked exactly like his father, who had raised her but not him. Fascinating to think that someone's walk may not be entirely modelled, but actually in thrir nature, no?

[quote]omer, Luke Evans and any other out gay actors are also given straight parts for the same reason.

Zachary Quinto plays straight from time to him. Have you seen outtakes of him?

I hope Tovey had a prenup.

Right on R372!

[quote] How stupid are you? Some queens couldn't "pass" if their lives depended on it

Thank you, you get it.

People are different, we all have different personalities. If every homophobic dad could make their gay kid more masculine there would be a lot fewer queens around, that's for sure.

It doesn't work that way.

DL, please stop promoting fey fembots! If I see another Chris Colfer thread...

You haters here don't like Tovey for SEVERAL reasons, I get it... But let his fans have their thoughts and opinions too. We can always agree to disagree too! I just feel he's misunderstood, admire him, and feel I've argued my POV fairly, while others have put words in my mouth, and have accused me of feeling I don't have: i.e. Butch is better, femme is weak, masculinity is learned, not innate and immutable, etc. The less we make sweeping generalisations the better.

Why did it take Towleroad 2 days to figure out this guy was a ex porn star?

This is really a totally different type of topic, but the reaction here reminded me of when George Takai was accused of some kind of sexual harassment and how everyone on DL were mad that none of the big gay sites were running with the story. I think in most cases, the sites don't want to cut someone off at the knees who've actually done little to no harm to them. Exactly who does it hurt that Tovey wants to marry a guy with a porn past? No one. It's his business. His marriage has as much a chance to work as any other.

I saw someone mention Elton John and his hubby Furnish not being a porn star. Still wasn't there some scandal involving those two where they paid off the tabloids to be quiet? And didn't they always have some studly character of questionable virtue hanging around their yachts? Tovey is just eliminating the middle man and marrying his instead of hiring one from the outside later in marriage.

Please, they've known Russell was dating a porn star will before this engagement r381.

It was just a matter of them deciding if they were going to cover that topic. It became talked about so much online and their biggest competition (Queerty) covered it, so they figured they didn't have a choice.

And I'll add if you go into the comments there are a lot of commenters who are upset that Towleroad chose to cover the story, which is absurd to me, but there you go.

Seems many here cannot see the finer points of any of this because they are perhaps ghettoi-ised and have chips on their shoulders. I never argued you can force someone to be butch. However, some behaviour can be learned, or imprinted. The verdict on nature vs nurture is still out amongst scientists, so do not lull yourselves into a false sense of mastery of the subject. For survival, less bullying by peers, gaining greater acceptance for work, etc. many young lads can try to learn how to fly under the radar better, so to speak. This pragmatic stance in no way excuses the father's attitude or values. Think Tovey was pointing up a silver lining is all. To deny it is valuable to pass and fit in is not honest. One does not need to be an old boy w/a knowledge of Essex to see this either.

It didn't take them time to figure it out. For whatever reason, they decided to hold off on reporting the porn thing.

Yep. I mention Furnish and Elton. I also mentioned that gay celebrities fuck hookers/pornies. Elton took Dolph Lambert on holiday, for instance. He didn't bring him to a red carpet or marry him. That is the distinction.

[Quote] Tovey is just eliminating the middle man and marrying his instead of hiring one from the outside later in marriage

Bless your heart. And your modest bank balance.

R379 LOL nobody is suggesting you LUST after fey fembos. Haha. No. You wouldn’t personally touch a fem with a double dildo. You only lust after mascs (and simultanously are hatefully jealous of them). And what you REALLY despise is a masc who doesn’t want YOU but another masc. THE SELF-HATING INTERNALISED HOMOPHOBIC BIGOTTTTTT!!!!!!!

I think porn 'star' might be a bit much

#teamrichie4eva

I don't get the big deal regarding his porn past, so what, he had sex with some guys on camera, we all have sex, he just did it on film. I'd be more put off by his bisexuality.

Who knew that a few innocuous jokes about "masc"-ness could be so incendiary to some DLers?

[Quote] many young lads can try to learn how to fly under the radar better, so to speak.

You cannot be serious. With all the shit gay people been through, in much harsher times than today (in the Western world, at least), you have the gall to suggest that Tovey has unlocked some secret to an easier way of being and thriving? Some little X Steps program? Jesus Christ, if only gay boys from time gone by had tried harder or been shown the way... No. It's not funny. It's foul.

[Quote] Who knew that a few innocuous jokes about "masc"-ness could be so incendiary to some DLers?

Those jokes have been repeated (with no variation, sadly) throughout this thread. They weren't incendiary. The thread has only taken a recent turn. Credit where it's due.

[quote]I don't get the big deal regarding his porn past, so what, he had sex with some guys on camera, we all have sex, he just did it on film.

Well yes, regular people have sex in private, doing porn is still looked at as something "unsavory" and "scandalous". How many stories have there been of teachers who have been fired when it is discovered they did porn? It is still looked as something that people who are members of "polite society" don't do.

Oh he's "bi"? This will not end well for Tovey.

Who and Who?

Tv ICON Russell Tovey and porn STAR whatshisname, you silly

I would have gone with thespian but I hear Russ decked someone for calling him that once. He's not a girl nor even into women, innit.

The porn star is also a male prostitute. I worry that this will not end well for Tovey.

I've a spare pair of handcuffs...

Butch here is no male prostitute

He probably was, they often go hand in hand. You do porn because you need quick cash and your body/sex is an easy commodity you have to offer.

R394, Enough with your faux outrage already! Hyperdefensive much? You must be either very young, or not know what Essex was like when Tovey was coming up. Perhaps you're from a much more cosmopolitan and posh place than Essex. Whichever, or both, count your blessings! Essex is still a bit rough comparatively. Learn to respect your eldergays if I'm right about your age.

Aw.. We have offended pissy old queen from 'his mother's basement, council flat,Essex' Cor !

Quit harping on about Essex. You seemed to miss my point about Morissey/Salford. Salford is rough as guts. And Morrisey is still fey. Bad learning gay boy Morissey, huh.

And I repeat: Tovey was a child actor - commercials, TV comedies and dramas, stafe. His world was much larger than the average kid stuck in Essex or Bumfuck, Missoura. No one is criticising anyone for being adaptable to their surroundings. What's offensive is suggesting that those who don't camouflage themselves as effectively need better coaching. Way to play into some bullshit, man.

Simon Amstell is from Essex, and like Tovey, he was a precocious child. He's not prone to such dim bulb comments, thankfully.

Again you insufferable SJW don't get my point, or Tovey's. I'm not from a council estate, nor from Essex. I'm a Londoner successful enough to have retired to America at 50, so go blow it out your twats R406/R407! I probably know more about his child career than you, and have seen all of his commercials from when he was a wee lad.

People need to stop blaming their sex-negative judgments on “society”.

If YOU think sex work, performed by consenting adults to fulfill what is obviously an enormous demand is “wrong” & “immoral” — say so and take the criticism for being a pearl-clutcher & a hypocrite who is happy to consume porn but yet degrade the people who provide it to you.

We were all raised in an anti-sex society but we are individually responsible for whether we perpetuate those attitudes or not.

I agree totally with Tovey about how his straight mannerisms have made his career. This is an aspect which is conveniently masked over for out gay actors.

If someone wants to act they need the ability to be able to play a type or types. If an effinimate gay men (or even effeminate straight men) is attempting to get into acting he has to be told that if he can’t convincingly act straight he will simply keep getting cast as the shoddy gay character. Let’s face it, how much variety is Anthony Cotton going to see in his career?

Being British and having watched Tovey ascend for years, he has carved a niche as a really unique type. He’s out, plays laddy straight, Essex type blokes and gay characters. He’s getting work and not having to be anything other than who he is (eg not closeted) He’s not stuck in Coronation Street playing a fictional version of himself with zero hope of ever being cast as anything other than a camp gay man. He’s also not living in the closet for fear of not getting cast as straight men.

Shoddy?

Thx R410 & R411.... Voices of reason, both of you!

Tovey has said he'd love to play a rent boy or a drag queen. I suspect some heads would explode here if he did.

I like Tovey as an actor but he doesn't have a unique quality. I've never seen him in a role and thought "only Russell Tovey" could play that. He's not on the level of someone like Ben Whishaw.

[quote]Tovey has said he'd love to play a rent boy

Oooh, would I get to be a creative consultant?

Are we supposed to pity Tony Cotton? He's not an actor. He's "a turn". He's lucky to have escaped a career calling gay bingo.

Angry old Essex guy, you are annoying. I hope I ll never be a bitter old queen. Sorry but I smell working class/ peasant who thinks being queeny shows intellectual elevation. Tovey is nowhere masculine.That's what's so funny. He is like a buffier jimmy sommerville. So delusional. And so are you, bitter old one

I wouldn't call him a "star".

To be fair, Tovey hasn’t played a straight part since he became known for playing a gay part on LOOKING which just reinforces his point that if the public perceives you as “stereotypically gay” you are likely to be typecast in gay roles.

He wasn’t wrong.

[quote] He is like a buffier jimmy sommerville.

BINGO!!

You're the chap throwing the cheap insults, and horsing around with ad hominem attacks, not I. I don't know why you must continue to villify me. I never claimed anyone "needed to learn better" either.... Sadly you continue to put the very same words into my mouth repeatedly, though I have objected to them quite clearly. My own father was a tough Navy bloke, tough with me at times. He helped me get on too. Perhaps in similar ways. I'm not bitter, never been closeted, and neither has Tovey. Furthermore, being a man, or growing into manhood involves other things than hiding oneself, as you misunderstand. Learning to fight and defend oneself, to meet agression with agression when necessary, and learning when one needs to "code switch" is another tool well adjusted young gay men learn. Each individual is different, so the Morrissey analogy is lost on me. Never did I suggest only lads from rough areas need to, or can benefit from fitting iin. In point of fact every lad can...gay and straight. I find men I know who have lacked a stern father's presence in their lives are not very well equipped at becoming men, this goes for heterosexuals too.

^ for R417

I wasn't bothered by what Tovey said in the article. He did mention that he had been attacked with a knife by two men for wearing a cardigan. Meaning they thought he looked gay. Just because Morrissey or Amstell didn't have that experience doesn't mean it's not possible. I really like Tovey in Looking. I thought he was ok in Angels but think he does a terrible American accent.

So despite all his training from his father, he still got attacked for looking gay. That's unfortunate.

Why didn't I have a good role model like Tovey senior?obviously my folks didn't love me, coz they didn't blink when I came out

Maybe it was before the training took place

To be fair, the father doesn't sound half as understanding and accepting as my own father. My father would never suggest I take hormones, as my father is better educated, and understands Testosterone is not related. However, whatever advice or lessons Tovey Senior passed down to his son has helped him. Why can't we just appreciate a positive comment, (being grateful) about a silver lining, or positive side effect and take it at face value, rather than heap a ton of negative suppositions on top of it? Sometimes saving flying one's freak flag for the appropriate time and place is just common sense, and a survival tactic. My father was quite fond of the axiom "There is a time and a place for everything". Consider it similar to dressing down when knowing one shall be walking in a less affluent area, or an unknown possibly rough place. That was my main point.

What do you think Tovey's father thinks of his future son-in-law? Masc enough?

[quote]What do you think Tovey's father thinks of his future son-in-law?

He couldn't even suck a cock like a man! What was that dainty girly bj?

R428, I have not a clue. I hope he has come around more though. Every son needs his father. That includes his acceptance, and respect. Senior Tovey could have been worse, at least he didn't disown the lad, kick him out, or ignore him. So few men have had the benefit of a father... Better a defective one than an absent one IMHO.

R428 Tovey’s mother likes the guy & said “we are happy” so there is your answer.

[quote]so there is your answer.

From his Mom, who has always been much more supportive of Russell than his Dad.

Senior Tovey does not seem like the type of man that would let a mere woman speak for him.

Who do you think she means by “we” then?

Anyway, what do you all care what his dad thinks? He obviously is going forward with it regardless - as adults do.

Do you think the parents will attend the wedding?

Do you think they'll adopt a son or get a surrogate? What if the kid turns out to be a dreaded effeminate who uses they / them pronouns?

My son's husband doesn't look like a bloody pancake prancing around singing 'chitty chitty bang bang' like Dumbo here. At least pansy landed a construction worker. Pop's proud of you lad

Oh G-d! The hyperbole and histrionics here on this thread are killing me.... and not in a god way!

You can't write out the word G-O-D?

I'm Jewish R439, It's something we try to avoid.

Are you for real R440 ? Shouldn't you also 'try to avoid' dicks?

Who knew we'd have someone afraid to "take the lords name in vain" On DL. I am both intrigued and appalled, man are you on the wrong forum.

And puh-leeze, like we don't all know jews, most jewish peeps swear like a sailor.

Where is the date for the so-called wedding?

Who's invited?

Only the butchest gays. So none of us is invited

R441/R442 R440 here. You blokes don't seem very bright. It has nothing to do w/profanity or "swear" words. We just don't write it out, and some try never to name G-d. Most say HaShem, or Adonai. Reform Judaism does not teach that homosexuality is wrong, or not allowed.

Oh my Gawd ! That cunt is even replying. This guy is really a winner. Moving on and back to Tovey please

Your ignorance is so attractive R446.

Will the blessèd union of Russell and Steve be sanctified in the house of The Church of England?

I suggest the union be solemnised by the Right reverend Alan Bennett— because, if it weren't for Bennett's writing skills we wouldn't even know what a "Tovey" is.

[bold] STEVE DID NOT ESCORT, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

Yeah, sure.

We've made Steve upset!

We'll pretend like you only had sex for money when it was being filmed!

Steve did it pro bono.

R449 = Russell

I wouldn’t care if he escorted either, although there is no reason to think he did.

Sex work is honest work. It serves a purpose & a demand in society. The stigma against it only protects abusive people who engage in the non-consensual trafficking of others.

Again, for a platform that prides itself on being an “anything goes” environment this place is full of uptight old-fashioned prudes & biddies. I half expect Cotton Mathers to pop out & declare Mr. Brockman a witch.

I'm not a prude by any means and agree that sex work can be honest work. Having photos of yourself on all fours showing us your asshole is a bit much.

My first thought was 'How dare he parade his whore like that !!!?! " but the pics with Porn whore with baby in arms topped it. Criiiiiinge

[quote][R317] why do you assume a bi guy would always ultimately choose a woman?

r318, well, considering that surveys show that close to 90% of bisexuals end up in opposite sex relationships it's really not that much of an assumption.

Um, do you think there is a chance he was told to say he was bi for the video?

R455 your second sentence contradicts your first. No one is holding a gun to your head to force you to look up the pics.

R456 people who did porn have family members. They are humans. You are a cringe, and nobody’s holding a gun to your head to force you to look at his Instagram either.

Now that the marriage is off, do you think Steve will kill himself ? And why do ancientgays have zero humour and always feel entitled to scold and demonstrate how Terribly Offended they are by dumping neverending pointless posts that only prove how unhinged and sad they are ?

R457 I’ve edited a number of academic works on sexuality and that “stat” is pulled out of your ass.

R460 the marriage is not off & wishing for someone’s suicide when they have done nothing wrong is the most unhinged sad thing you can post

R460 Is the marriage is off?

R462 is over 50

Yes R463, of course marriage is of, where do you post from ? Outer space ?

THE MARRIAGE IS NOT OFF. Why would it be? Russell does not care.

This guy has it right.

"Sex worker" is such SJW-speak.

A sex worker is a hooker. There's nothing wrong with calling out degeneracy.

Let's shame the whore marrier. Oh Let's

Does 'sex worker' encompass porn now and not just prostitution? I know the goal posts move often in social justice discussions.

R469 is Mike Pence

How much money is the sex worker being paid by Tovey? Per day or by the hour?

Porn IS prostitution darling

For the both of you, Russell and Steve

Both are aging horribly.

No no. Only one of them is. NOT Steve.(mmmmmmmmm)

Now that wedding is cancelled you can have me pornie. I ain't got much money, but if worship counts for you, you'll be richer than a king

I am sure they will have a POSivitely wonderful future together.

They look like brothers. Fitting since Tovey is known to be a malignant narcissist.

This thread is an amazing combination of jealousy and foolishness. Yes, most of us are jealous because we can't score porn star hot guys because we aren't famous. And foolishness with these queens discussing Brockman's Randy Blue "interview" like it's for real. I mean come on.

Of course he was probably an escort, and is attracted to Tovey partially because he's famous. If fame threw me hot guys, I wouldn't say no.

[quote]Both are aging horribly.

I actually think Russell is aging well, Brockman looks way older than 29.

Ongina from Drag Race is not a fan

[quote]Oh good for him. He found is non-effeminate partner. Because y’all know @russelltovey is glad “he didn’t go down that path” of “prancing around and being effeminate...”. Cheers to them both.

Also the reply made me chuckle

[quote]I have NO RESPECT for @russelltovey whatsoever. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something Randy Blue

R483, that shit is HILARIOUS!

Well that makes it official... He IS the worst gay ever!

^shit that ONLY effeminate losers find funny

R483 sounds like she also chuckles when somebody says dick, cock or fuck.

Fems complain ALL THE TIME about masc4masc but the same fems also don't like dating fems 💁

More fug Brits.

tovey's ass is too flat to be a bottom

his boyfriend is better than me cuz no

R487 tea was served, no lies detected

R489 apparently you didn’t watch Looking bc it’s actually pretty juicy

Tovey 's ass has been so severely ridden he cannot keep his turds anymore, nor sit straight on a regular chair. Ridden HARD and put away wet is what they say. Construction worker/pornie/escort/rugbyman Steve can flip open the sloppy saloon door without lube with both arms. Talk about masc

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

G_Y!

M_SC!

Masc?

"Steve moved across the world to be with Russell in 2017, while he starred in New York's National Theatre show Angels In America, alongside Andrew Garfield."

There is no National Theatre in New York. The National is in London, something you'd think I British paper would know. The production is coming to NYC, but Tovey isn't coming with it. Lee Pace is playing that role.

Pace is taking over in NY. No way in hell that those nelly effetes on Broadway could handle all that raw masculinity on stage. The Simon would crumble to the ground.

R497 thinks the Daily Mail cares about accurate reporting, bless his heart.

The prostitute boyfriend is 49 years old.

His balding head might look much older, but he is only 29.

If I were a single masc gay meeting a hot hunk like Steve I wouldn't mind his being a serial killer. I would marry him so fast it would make DL spin.

I saw the randy blue clips. There won't be no marriage. Tovey will ditch the prost. Sad. They could have easily transformed the Tatts. Cheap prostitute has bulked up and looks different now. Testo 💉. Instead it will end in tears... And a graveyard

R503 you have a disturbed mind.

Wishing Russell & his sweetheart all the best! He’s hot.

Marriage won't happen ( see Gingertop and Snow-white)

R505 what the fuck are you even talking about

Russell is marrying this guy BECAUSE he fucks well, he doesn’t care unlike you prudes

Marriage is off. Predictable

Someone mentioned upthread that Russell has a flat bottom, actually, it's rather round & bouncy, the pic of Russell's back view is from "Angels In America".

Sweet

DAY-UM, R508!

Tovey even makes stripping off his jockeys a master study in masculinity!

Get a load of that maximum release of testosterone as he throws those shorts to the floor.

Yeah we have seen Tovey's bum a lot. I wouldn't call it flat, it is a pretty nice ass.

Nice masculine ass, at that.

No way that hole would ever be caught singing in the streets.

R94 he as promoted on his Randy Blue videos as bisexual, not straight. But, yeah, it was purely marketing anyway.

I don't know why I bothered googling when I knew you were just talking crap r507, but damn you for making me waste my time doing a google search.

I saw this article about Tovey's partner's porn past in one of those Brit tabloids and the majority of the reaction was ho hum. I mean what are people supposed to do--tar & feather him. Is he any worse than any number of whoreish reality stars that's running around defiling our TVs and social media. It's hard to be self righteous when we've gone down that rabbit hole. We have a President who gave over 130,000 to a porn star after all.

I must say Tovey senior did a good job.The Whore is very butch, and the way Russell himself drops the pants so that everybody could see his bare arse is so masc it reminded me of the olden days in the RAF. Suits you sir!

Could “the marriage is off” troll take the fake news somewhere else? Russell & Steve are on & strong! Just look at Russell’s cute comment on Steve’s Insta AFTER the non-scandal broke.

They aren’t ashamed of themselves & there’s nothing bitter jealous prudes can do to change that :)

Link R517 or it never happened

R518 first comment on this pic.

They’re probably laughing at all the puritans of the world as they fuck gloriously while looking at themselves in the mirror

r508 oh my god, put that away! Cheeks look like 2 uncooked silver dollar pancakes. His glutes are underdeveloped he needs to do squats!

Criticizing Tovey for any part of his body is a real stretch.

[quote]Criticizing Tovey for any part of his body is a real stretch.

Really? The ears? The ugly mug of a face. The tiny dick? The droopy ass?

R521 except his ears. Even he knows they are a bit much.

Russell doesn't know how to commit to anyone. He fucked with married men for years. This will be over in two seconds. He is the worst gay stereotype in existence, which is ironic since he hates the gay community and the stereotypes that go along with it so highly.

His fiancé is hot enough to stop fucking with married men (by the way, is that true? Any evidences?).

The ears are hot & you all know it.

[quote]His fiancé is hot enough to stop fucking with married men

You assume they are monogamous. I don't know why you would assume that

R527 Patrick, you are now a mindhunter. You should have forgotten him already.

LMAO at the Looking references. It’s cool Patrick always loved Richie!!

I know the open marriage thing seems to work for bi men in straight relationships because they don't have romantic feelings for men, they just want sex. But what about the reverse? Even if they have an open marriage so the porn star can satisfy his need for women, what's Tovey going go do when he starts to catch feelings for these women?

I see the bitter effeminate is still still obsessing over Tovey and his “insignificance” lol . Must be all those free evenings with no dates and no sex life. Poor unlovable sissy!

Maybe take up a hobby like knitting..and get a purse pooch to fill the relationship chasm?

R529 We all know who Patrick truly loves--- Daddy Dom

Is there any news about Daddy Dom tho?

There is never any news about Daddy Dom because Murray Bartlett stays off social! Alas

I am so sad the marriage is off. It seems the puritans win after all. I thought Russell was braver

Steve Brockman's instagram post

[quote]Vegas I’m cuming

Using "cuming" instead of "coming" like a 13 year old. He is a proud little whore.

If Steve had never had an "adult film" star, he probably would have never had the opportunity to meet Russell. He's a beautiful man, and so is his husband-to-be. I'm happy for them both. Carry on.

R535 do you not see the dogs still together on Steve’s Insta feed?

That poster has been posting over and over about the marriage being off r538. Don't pay it any mind, doing so might be the highlight of their day.

I think that Matt guy's the shame troll.

In that Vegas photo's comments section, Brockman asks someone he knows who posted a comment, "Hows your shoulders feeling?" I think Steve was absent for most of third-grade grammar. I'd still hit that, though I wouldn't expect much in the way of convo before or after.

He was a construction worker and porn performer r541, obviously Russell wasn't interested in his sharp mind and wit.

R530 "what's Tovey going go do when he starts to catch feelings for these women?"

What are you talking about, dude? Both of them are gay.

"I know the open marriage thing seems to work for bi men in straight relationships "

Most bi men are not in open relationships with women - they cheat their female partners.

Lol at the people that find steve"beautiful" He's average at best.

R544 He's very butch, has a great physique and is handsome, for many guys that's much more important than a perfect celebrity-like beauty.

He has a dirty asshole and can't fuck. Next.

[quote]obviously Russell wasn't interested in his sharp mind and wit.

Obviously Russell is looking for someone like himself. Russell is dumb as a post.

[quote]by the way, is that true? Any evidences?

Yes, everyone in Britain's gay scene circa 2006-2010. I'm not giving names. Put it this way though, I wouldn't fuck Russell knowing the type of people he's been with and I wouldn't dare get in a relationship with him. Too much baggage and a complete user. When you start fucking with married men, that's when I, and others, draw the line. A lot of people felt this way. They avoided him like the plague. He had issues with his sexuality then and still does now. He was also in a "committed" relationship with his last partner and was well on his way to being married. In fact, it was the longest relationship I was aware of him having, and by long, I mean, perhaps a year and half to two years. He went through guys in weeks, and not the best looking ones, let me tell you. I have no doubt that his last relationship broke up because of Russell's cheating. I have to laugh though - Russ finally just said fuck it and went with a common whore. Mark my words, this relationship will be over in two seconds. It's a total throwback to his behavior in the mid-2000s.

Russell tried to pick me up today on lower Fifth Avenue.

Had you broken your hip, R549?

Nice try but no buy, jealous effeminate r548

Who's "Matt" R540 ?

R548 you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about because Russell had an ex he was with for about eight years. Your post is pure imagination.

His ex was Daniel Unda, whose bf looks like Russell.

Doesn't have the sexy Dumbo ears

I give best wishes to them both. I can't believe that anyone cares that Steve did porn a few years ago. No one cares, except the gay church ladies and pearl-clutchers. I'm sure Russell knows and doesn't care either. His new husband is a gorgeous hunk of man.

He's marrying a WHORE !!!!!!!

It actually makes a lot of sense. When the straight roles eventually start drying up, he'll have a whole new set of contacts in the porn business. They could even start a new studio together focusing on the untapped ear fetish niche market.

R558. Lol

A porn star?? A PORN STAR ??????

Russell is all male

I always wear a gold lamé church hat when I’m performing masculinity

Russell is kind of trashy, so not much of a surprise.

Exactly r563. He was hanging out at gay porn awards before he ever started dating Brockman. This is on-brand for him.

Oh! The whore is in the background ! I can see it !

That chav is actually marrying up. At least Steve doesn't look white trash like the Monkey Boy.

They both look like they'd be up for anything is the money was right.

Russell is common.

MARY!

Russell is the most basic gay bitch who ever gayed.

R570 Keep telling yourself that if it helps “hunty(?)” but the truth—as well you know—is that it’s YOU ubiquitous bitchy effeminate cringe types who are the “basics”, the default and furthermore almost entirely interchangeable “personality”-wise; whereas normal (or “basic” in your cliche fem lingo) gay men like Tovey are in fact, paradoxically, exotic Learn to deal with your sissy hate-boner and stop projecting your own issues of failed masculinity onto other guys ..It’s not their fault the roughboys gave you wedgies and stole your lunch money

R571 = mr. Tovey sr

[quote]It's called " inbred coucil estate lower worling class " in the UK

Tovey isn't working class. His parents owned their own company when he was growing up. He reminds me of a lot of middle class types who fetishise working class "masculinity" and try to adopt it. It's like when you watch a Triga film and one of the tough looking chavs opens their mouth and either sounds like Little Lord Fauntleroy or John Inman.

'Boulevard' is a hundred superbly crafted, intense minutes of cinema.

'Eve' is 138 minutes of talk, talk, talk. It has lots of supernumerary characters who stand around in the background feeding lines or trying to kick the decelerating plot along.

^ Mary, you're in the wrong thread.

Wrong thread, dear.

"Hey, you're Russell Tovey! You used to be big."

"I am big! It's the PICTURES that got small!!!"

I've only seen Russell Tovey in small films. TV movies and 'The History Boys' which felt like a TV movie.

I have bitched all over this thread for weeks but in all honesty Russell ( although I have absolutely no idea who he may be) is cute and hot.and his pornie/escort boyfriend is devastatingly handsome. Being myself a fooT and Rugbymen lover, I can only approve. Blessings boys

[quote]Tovey isn't working class. His parents owned their own company when he was growing up.

Oh, honey, believe me, the Toveys are chav trash through and through. A lot of lower middle-class people own "companies" aka businesses.

[quote]A lot of lower middle-class people own "companies" aka businesses.

Exactly. Lower middle class, not working class or lower class "chavs". Tovey's chaviness is just an act.

R526.... I'm with you, the dumbo ears are hella sexy on a cute bloke... Chav or not.

Those ears give you something to hold onto while he's blowing you. Something meaty to nibble on while you're fucking him too.

The time it took you to write that drivel, you could've either:

(1) taken a learning annex class; or

(2) had a session with a therapist to help you get over at least one of your many issues.

Either way, time wasted. Oh, well, at least you can write...

We are a married couple of young professionals ( my husband somewhat younger than I) also in the art/ entertainment business. We are into music/fitness/films and watersports. We are totally open to conscious multiple partnering and feel complete cosmic harmony with Russell and Steve. If you guys read this post, by all means call us.

Will the married couple live in NYC or London?

The city that has more masculines, that's where they'll end up.

Masculines move to Staten Island!

They could go to Maskelyne Point on the waterfront at Sydney Harbor.

Everytime Ryan opens his mouth, the entire collection of Lancel flies...

r589 Same with Russell in private.

You need to tell us more about 'Russell In private' daddy R590

Tovey fan here, must add if his acting career ever flops, he can always do some hot toe-sucking porn with his husband!

TRRRRRRAAAAASSSSHHH

They're both very lucky.

WHOA. I just realized that this thread is almost 600. Will there be a part 2?

Also shout out to r21!

[quote][R530] What are you talking about, dude? Both of them are gay.

r543, you do realise that the only information we have about Steve's sexuality is him saying he's bisexual on camera, right?

Im 6

R597 this might come as a shock but not everything said in porn is truthful

shocked!
