R43, I will put on my 'Looking' DVD's tonight and go through the commentaries to check the details.

Right now, the comments I remember from Jonathan about the extra sex parts he said were edited are:

1.) Jonathan said that in the first sex scene between him & Russell there was a part where Jonathan commented on how Russell had an uncut cock, but it was edited.

2.) Jonathan said that when he & Russell have sex after they move into their apartment that the scene where he eats Russell's ass was edited.

Sad indeed. Fire up any gay dating/hookup app and find a sea of shirtless men, gazing at their reflections in their mirror and their phone screens. They live for validation, and most do not realize that this betrays their tragic character—emotionally stunted, endlessly searching, never satisfied.

The first Kevin/Patrick sex scene was hot and it didn't really need an extra comment on his uncut cock. But it still bothers me that they had unprotected sex while Kevin was in a commited relationship. Did he wait 6 weeks to make sure he did not infect his partner? They never really addressed THAT on the show.

Quantico was a shitfest. I was surprised they renewed it for another season. Most critics still thought he was the best part of the show and gave good and fun performance. I saw him on stage twice and he is a terrific actor. He should get more offers.

At least he can still do theater. His ex-porn star fiance is working in construction again. I guess his career as a personal trainer did not work out without his celebrity boyfriend.

Not every UK actor can make it big in the US.

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.”

R153 Can you nicely ask R147 if you may play with his Facts of Life action figures? You seem AWFULLY triggered, and fail to understand the context with which Tovey made those remarks: a tough neighbourhood in Essex, and in response to his not previously being well received by his peers. (survival walking the streets) Furthermore your Trumpville comment is a non-sequitur. You are no better than tough blokes who pick on femmes. You somehow feel entitled too discount his masculinity, and denigrate him for being proud as a tough, strong gay man. Stop hating on him.

Seriously R163 you must find a new hobby rather than continuing to trash Tovey. I re-read the article, and only have more sympathy for him. You are not winning. I suspect you are quite young (possibly too PC for your own good) and very insecure with your own masculinity. Look to peoples' intent when they utter words you do not like, rather taking umbrage. He is a fine gay man, and a fine actor as well. He even apologised in that Guardian article you linked in your post. What more do you want? I happen to be a tough poufter who formerly played rugby in my youth, and before I toughened up and got a bit bulky myself, I was bullied too, though nowhere to the extreme as Tovey was attacked. We all have our own unique experiences coming of age as gay men, and as he has reiterated "we are all in this together". Why do you make such a grand issue of it? BTW, I dig femmes and androgynous blokes, and have always rallied to defend them, and I suspect Tovey would too. You are making an enemy out of one of your brothers who probably rush to defend you if you were not such a complete arsehole. Spend ypur efforts better fighting the real enemies.

I really like and admire Russell, but I think he's wrong when he says he could have turned out fem but for the school he went to and the influence of his father. If a man ends up swishy or butch it's because that's his natural genetic inclination. It's simply how nature made him. Now some swishy guys put on a butch act, at least in public. But most gay guys can spot them a mile away. Most of us have very good gaydar. And I suppose there are a few guys who can put up the act full time, even when they're all alone, mainly out of personal shame and fear. But I've never met one who could do it all the time without letting their inner Nancy show through at some point. I don't get the feeling Russell is putting on a butch act and turning into a big ol' sissy when he's in private. He seems like a guy is is what he is and isn't trying to fool anyone, including himself.

by Anonymousreply 168August 9, 2018 9:19 AM

He could turn into a Nancy or big ol' sissy (as you so eloquently put it) for me anytime behind closed doors, and I wouldn't mind a bit R168. He butched up to protect himself on the streets, and not be a target as a "skinny little rat" as he referred to his former self. He was "fooling" or deterring Essex thugs, not his fellow gay men. He said he's grateful for bulking up and joining a gym because it enables him to land roles where the character is meant to be tough. I cannot see for the life of me what others are reading into this. Do you hate butch fags? Why must we all be femmes?

"I feel like I could have been really effeminate, if I hadn’t gone to the school I went to. Where I felt like I had to toughen up. If I’d have been able to relax, prance around, sing in the street, I might be a different person now."

This is the exact quote from his masculine mouth. And all he says is he could have been really effeminate but unfortunately that wasn't an option in his neighborhood because, you know, they stabbed him and tried to kill him. So obviously being really camp, prancing around and singing in the street wasn't the best idea in this situation and he had to toughen up so people wouldn't beat the shit out of him. I still don't get what your problem is with him. If is masculinity now helps him to get more/better job opportunities as an actor, good for him. Seems like his upbringing was already bad enough.

by Anonymousreply 170August 9, 2018 9:39 AM

People don’t care if Tovey is butch. What bothers them is they assume it means he is “masc4masc”, which he never said he was. But they think it means they won’t fuck him, and they’re mad because they find his butchness attractive and they very much want to fuck him despite moaning on and on about what a terrible person he is.

R188/R189 I still don't get why he had to make such a big announcement if this was a surprise and unexpected. The engagement was all over the news. They got engaged and a couple days later someone from his team called the Daily Mail. Why didn't he just wait, wear his ring and when he was really sure about it, make an announcement. I think he probably underestimated the media response and thought no-one would care. Funnily, when he broke it off it was just a "No darling" on Instagram and it was still all over the news.

I agree with R188 that he wanted out of this though. I'm not a prude by any means but having photos of yourself on all fours showing us your asshole is a bit much. Those pictures and clips were all over social media and really embarrassing. I don't want that the first thing my family, friends, colleagues or business partners see when they open SM is my boyfriend's dick or asshole.

He definitely won't say why he recently broke up with Steve and if he cheated or asked for an open relationship. I bet he doesn't even mention his name or the engagement. But we will see.

^ Dad and go the "surrogate route". He also likes people his own age and doesn't like dating "twinks or chickens". In the article they call it "the famous mid-30s flip-over where gay men change from fancying older to fancying younger" men. He thinks it's weird that people on Instagram are already calling him Daddy and he is only 36. Then they talk a lot about his different projects and life as an out gay actor. He admires Ian McKellan and his decision to come out when he did, Kevin Spacey and that missed opportunity and sexual harassment in the industry and his experience with it. He did not do AiA on Broadway bc the role was too heavy and he apparently did not want to do it for a couple more months (I thought it was a scheduling conflict with Quantico). He prefers gay bars and meeting people there instead of using dating apps, it's more exciting "to catch someone's eye and you smile and go over and shake someone's hand". He also thinks it's weird that so many straight people hang out at gay bars and traditionally gay places now.

Lastly he says he is a one-man guy and just wants to be with that person "whoever that person is" and he is also "very, very very vanilla".

The interview is actually really short (only 2 pages) and is a lot about acting and doesn't have that much new information (only new piece of information really is that he wants to be a father and is ready to do it in the next 3 years even without a partner or husband).

R270, it's from a 2015 interview:

Russell Tovey has opened up about filming gay sex scenes with straight guys.

The 33-year-old gay British actor has said he finds it easier shooting same-sex love scenes with another gay man, where there is less responsibility to ‘look after them’.

‘It’s easier doing those scenes with another gay man than it is a straight man,’ he told Heat.

”The same way I feel fine doing sex scenes with a woman.

”When I’m doing a sex scene with an actor who is straight, I feel a huge sense of responsibility not to feel like I’m taking advantage or anything.

”Like, I’ll only touch their balls if it says so in the script.’

Tovey also admitted to being conscious of his appearance during his raunchy scenes for ‘Looking’.

‘I keep the bush low, trim the chest hair and I like to get the nipples more erect, so I’ll tweak them a bit too,’ he revealed. ‘Erect nipples add so much to a scene I think.

”I do worry about how I’m going to look in screen-grabs and GIFS. You know it’s going to happen.’

You guys have serious reading comprehension problems bc he never said he likes to grab a gay actors balls. He simply said he feels more comfortable doing those scenes with another gay man and would ONLY touch his balls if it says so in the script.

This is why people repeat the masculine bullshit over and over again. Some folks are obviously unable to understand even simple texts or put a sentence into context.

Yes, he was definitely serious about this because touching someone's balls on a movie set with 50 people around watching is extremely hot. Like R275 said, you never see it anyway. So what's the point?

Didn't the straight guy on Looking who played his boyfriend grab his balls at a party?

by Anonymousreply 277September 13, 2018 7:23 AM

R277, actors still grab each other's crotches for real, even if you don't see the actual nudity underneath.

For example, Julian Morris said Dana Delany squeezed his balls for real during an episode of "Hand of God".

But you got so hot and bothered by that that you missed these nuggetous words of wisdom: "Erect nipples add so much to a scene I think."

Tovey on AiA on Broadway:

"I loved the acting", he says of the part of Joe Pitt, a married gay Mormon struggling with his sexuality, "but when the curtains went down all I felt was sadness. I loved being on Broadway but when this came up it just filled me with anxiety rather than excitement. I think you have to trust your instincts and it was best to step away. I was like, 'I don't want to let anyone down and if this is going to fuck up the transfer, let me know...' But it was quite a commitment to go and do it in New York for that long."

It is understandable, it is a though part. But I still think it was a scheduling conflict with Quantico and he made a lot more money there and it gave him more exposure than a bit part on Broadway.

That whole podcast was heartbreaking. When he talked about his insecurities, being attacked on the train as a young boy and dating as a celebrity and in the social media era - I really felt for him. I was also surprised that he needed therapy after the breakup, so he was probably dumped again. Too bad they didn't ask him more questions. I was very surprised he was that open though. He usually repeats the same stuff in interviews and never talks about his relationships. Glad he said that dogs are not allowed in the room during "sexy times". I was wondering about this and really thought he is one of those people who even allows the dog to stay while having sex.

R310 Is the series based on a book or an original script? If it is based on a book it should be easy to find out if the character is gay or straight. What other RTD shows did he do?

Russell T Davies has a massive crush on Tovey, as detailed in a book called The Writers Tale. When he was cast in a Doctor Who special RTD drew pictures of Tovey, sorry his character, in just his pants.

Shortly afterwards Tovey said in an interview how annoyed he got being pursued by unattractive older men.

[quote]I don't like him anymore after he said that bit about him being so butch that no one can tell he's gay. It screams of self-hate.

Cut him some damn slack.

He's already admitted to being the worst gay ever.

Thanks, R367!

You guys, I hate to tell you this but guys catfish on apps and there’s no proof it’s him.

exactly what r 383 said. On grindr I was sent a photo of a very handsome middle aged guy that was so hot and so professional, I thought it had to be faked. Sure enough, I googled it and it directed me right to the IMDB page of an actor. It did cross my mind that it actually could be the actor but when I confronted this dickhead he said it was perfectly reasonable for him to send a picture of an actor he THINKS he resembles.

I have also gotten pix from others that were obviously downloaded from the internet. You would not believe the balls people have

My favorite part of living in LA is meeting someone on grindr, getting their name from Instagram, and then checking IMDB to find out they've chopped at least 5, usually 10 years off their age.

Or they're using a headshot from 2003. *cough* Joel M.

I once was messaged by a guy who had just a torso pic that I recognized as belonging to DL fave Nick Jonas.

I confronted him on it and he tried playing dumb... right before removing it.

Yes R384, it's possible it is a fake account, but this is a new bathroom selfie I (and others probably too) haven't seen before. So if you fake a profile, you would probably use an existing photo. This picture is new.

Doesn't have to mean anything, but I thought it was weird that the Chappy Instagram Account often comments on his IG posts. So maybe people reported this profile as fake and they contacted him to verify it.

Yes but the fact remains he's a 37yr old man taking selfies topless in a bathroom.

by Anonymousreply 388December 12, 2018 8:02 PM

I agree R388 but what is the age limit for thirsty topless bathroom selfies on dating apps and instagram?

Poor guy, I hope he finds his special guy soon. Also glad he didn't end up with that dumb porn whore.

what the fuck is wrong with taking a shirtless pic for hook ups. Shouldn't the guy be able to see your body? no matter your age?

by Anonymousreply 390December 12, 2018 8:14 PM

It's a bit desperate for a well known 37yo celebrity who claims he doesn't like dating apps and wants a husband and kids. I'm partnered and do not use dating apps but do middle-aged men and grandpas really post shirtless bathroom selfies? Eww. Probably not something I wanna see.

R390 Because at some point jr. you have to grow up.

If Russell has more pics on the UK hookup site, I hope someone posts them here.

by Anonymousreply 393December 12, 2018 10:17 PM

R391 if indeed it is actually him, he is obviously not looking for a husband on that app and therefore doesn’t care if anyone who sees him on there rules him out as marriage material in return. He is looking for a night of fun at the moment and he is allowed to do that.

by Anonymousreply 394December 12, 2018 10:18 PM

Russell has said in previous interviews (eg. for 'Looking') that he doesn't want pictures/screencaps of his cock to get onto the internet, so he only shows his ass in nude scenes.

So it's unlikely we'll be seeing his cock.

R395 not with his face in the picture anyway

You get out of apps what you put into apps. I've gotten plenty of dick, yeah, but I've also made friends and gone on actual dates.

by Anonymousreply 397December 12, 2018 10:34 PM

Real masculine, R397.

by Anonymousreply 398December 13, 2018 1:33 AM

I think you need to cut Russell some slack. He doesnt seem to have any easier time of it finding the right relationship than your average gay Joe. His last breakup was so damaging to him that he started going to a therapist. I also heard him speak in a long podcast where he described being knifed and almost killed by a couple of thugs on a train when he was 18. It was serious and he suffers post traumatic stress over the incident to this day. He sometimes gets vertigo when he relives the nightmare and stumbles and cant walk, etc. He also has described having body dismorphia issues and set about getting a beefier body as he wanted to be able to play romatic leads and his former self didnt fit that mold. Clearly he is somebody who hasnt always had an easy time of it. I dont have any ill feelings for the comments he made about being masculine. He admitted it was insensitive the way it came out in the press, but for an actor, because he can pass as straight, he gets more work for a variety of roles. That is just a fact of life and it has worked to his advantage. Deal with it.

He’s a fine looking natural lad. Nothing to “fix”.

He is aging very well...

I didn't find him attractive when he was younger, but as he approaches middle-age he's quite sexy. However, he comes across as the more desperate at this age for still using hook-up apps.

by Anonymousreply 402November 23, 2019 4:45 PM

Huh?? Are we really judging people for using apps in 2019? Next we'll be getting the vapors because he dares to use electricity when any respectable man in his late 30s should be reading by candle light.

by Anonymousreply 403November 24, 2019 3:22 AM

Is anyone watching his new show "The Sister". He plays a masc straight man in it.

We've seen his cock. It's small.
