Russell Tovey, here. Does my now grey hair make my ears look smaller?

FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME

My ears are like his more or less, except I have more cartilage so they protrude slightly less. It's nice to see someone like him in the spotlight.

Did he ever break up with the porn star/PT? Or did they get married?

I think he’s adorable

Russell needs a good punch fucking!

Love him, grey hair, ears, and all.

His mother failed him, all she had to do was tape his ears back when he was an infant. My sister used Gorilla tape on my nephew and it mad a huge difference.

Loved the gay independent film he started in. If only he was actually gay

r3, they broke up just before the summer; Tovey even scrubbed his instagram of all mentions of Steve. I'd love to know what caused the breakup.

He was dreamy on Bake Off this week. Going a bit bald in the back.

I have heard a couple of bad things about him. He abondoned a long term friend when he took off in the US.and something else but can’t say as would reveal the source of the gossip if let slip. He is a total bottom.

I can work with that. How does he feel about donkey punching?

He looks like a French Bulldog

I've liked him ever since History Boys. He's also the best Joe Pitt I've seen in Angels In America (and that includes David Marshall Grant, Patrick Wilson, and Bill Heck).

"History: It's just one fucking thing after another."

I've seen him in London in bars a lot. He's an arrogant asshole. Typical celebrity who thinks he's better than us mere mortals.

[quote] He is a total bottom.

How dare you make up such hateful lies??!!!

He's doing celebrity bake-offs? How much more d listed can you get?

How much more bottom can you get?

How did he not get cast in the title role of the new live-action "Dumbo?"

Hey Jug Ears -- Dumbest thing you ever did was get rid if your hot boyfriend. Don't know his real name but his pron name was Ryan Stack. That guy is H - O - T!

Steve Brockman, r21. Here they are in happier days.

I think the grey hair looks good on him. Shame if he is a bit of a jerk IRL.

He’s so ugly he needs a warning label.

R16 - which bars?

Asking for a stalker.

Didn't know who that was, but he's cute. I love big ears.

Physically he was pretty much my ideal man before he became a cliched gym queen. But the one thing that really puts me off is him being a smoker .

Why the hell spend all that time in the gym and then ruin your health doing that? I don't think he's overly bright.

He broke up with Steve the porn guy because he found out that he was cheating on him left and right (well duh, he was a porn "star"!). Apparently Russell didn't like that so he immediately put an end to the relationship.

Nobody would care about him he wasn't gay. He's a terrible actor.

R29 - he's not exactly versatile...acting wise.

[quote]He broke up with Steve the porn guy because he found out that he was cheating on him left and right

So was Miss Tovey who has been fucking married men since he was 17.

The gays have low standards when it comes to masculinity.

We have to grab at what little we can find, R32.

Russell "Clint Eastwood if you're nasty" Tovey

He honestly looks like a special needs person. Fetal alcohol syndrome crossed with special needs crossed with an elephant.

Big ears are great to hold onto when someone is on his knees giving you a blowjob. No negative there.....

He does have cute ears.

"I have heard a couple of bad things about him. He abondoned a long term friend when he took off in the US."

He abandoned a longtime "friend" or "boyfriend" R11? Didn't he break up with his longtime partner right before he started a play in New York? Was it that guy?

I heard that Steve the porn guy hung out a lot in New York with JVN ex-boyfriend (who apparently also cheated on him) while Tovey was already back in the UK (they both play rugby). There were even pictures of their dogs on their respective instagrams (they are gone now though). He broke up with the porn guy shortly after he returned to the UK. Always thought that Steve probably had a little too much fun with his rugby friend while his fiancee was out of town and after I read here about the JVN cheating drama.

Russell is doing a reading of short stories at the Royal Academy in London on May 22nd. How do I make him fall in love with me?

Idk, did Dumbo’s grey body make his ears look smaller?

R39 Hit the gym and pretend you're masculine and Latin American. Or bring a copy of your appearance in a (professional) porn movie, pretend you're a dog lover and an illiterate fuck (he likes them dumb).

How does he look in a jockstrap?

Who is JVN?

Those aren't ears, they're handles.

He’s also a thirsty bitch starting threads about how “hot” (ha!) he is.

Russell. You’re not hot. You’re weird looking. Your ears are flappy and gigantic. Begone.

R41, fuck I'm too smart of him. I do like dogs though.

I'd fuck him if he wore a jockstrap.

R47 You would only fuck him with a jockstrap? I would eat that little fucker with his British accent and his big ears ALIVE.

He needs to be pinned .... ears too.

Why is his mouth so small?

Fly, Dumbo - fly!

He needs to have his ears done. The joke wore off.

I met Russell at the Royal Academy a few weeks ago and he admired my Keith Haring socks. He's incredibly handsome.

I always have trouble posting in Russell Tovey threads, because all the raw masculine energy oozing out of monitor forces me to go all butch and scratch my balls.

sorry, out of MY monitor forces me to go all butch and scratch my balls.

R53 please just ignore the masculine troll at R54/R55 and don't engage him.

How was the reading? He does them regularly and I'm thinking of attending one in the future. Last week he gave a nice speech at the Hay Festival. Hope he has other projects lined up after that Years & Years disaster.

Can someone explain why he's doing that reading with an American accent.

And I think his poking out ears are one of the sexiest things about him.

R57 It's a Harvey Milk speech. Milk was American.

He said he's doing a show in New York - Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, along with Eddie Izzard in a few months' time.

He's also doing a reading at a new Keith Haring exhibition in Liverpool soon - which is why we got talking about my socks. But I'm sure he was checking out my legs too...

MARY!

He looks good with the gray.

Typical Australian tard face.

Russell in Dad clothes next to a huge shiny cock.

Hmmm, cheeky monkey! :>)

Funniest comment on IG: "You're so masc and dress like a lesbian"

He's got great legs - they'd look even better on my shoulders.

I love Rusell Tovey. He's smart, successful, sexy and he really knows contemporary art.

New ITV series for Russell. Flesh and Blood starts filming today in London. I've never heard of any of the other cast members. Are they known in the UK? Series sounds like an extended Hallmark TV movie or soap opera.

‘Flesh And Blood’: Imelda Staunton, Francesca Annis, Russell Tovey & Stephen Rea Star

The Girl and Vera Drake star Imelda Staunton, Cranford star Francesca Annis, Quantico and Years and Years star Russell Tovey and The Crying Game and The Honourable Woman star Stephen Rea are to front ITV family drama Flesh and Blood.

The series is written by The Long Song writer Sarah Williams, who also wrote 2007 Anne Hathaway feature Becoming Jane. It is the story of three adult siblings — Helen, Jake and Natalie — who are thrown into disarray when their recently widowed mother Vivien declares she’s in love with a new man. Flesh and Blood is directed by Cheat and Cold Feet‘s Louise Hooper.

Even ear muffs won't make his ears look smaller

does the carpet match the drapes? jes askin

So sexy.

R68 Never heard of any of these actors either. And from the pictures none of the cast (or the storyline) look very appealing. Wonder if Tovey plays another gay character in this.

R68 & R72 You've never heard of Imelda Staunton?

I don't know how old you are but she was Dolores Umbridge in two of the Harry Potter films, which you might have heard of.

R72 only watches Bondarchuk, Fyodorov and Stepchenko's movies.

R68. R72

Really? How old are you?

His ears are like that from years of really intense gay sex.

[quote] I've never heard of any of the other cast members. Are they known in the UK? Series sounds like an extended Hallmark TV movie or soap opera. ‘Flesh And Blood’: Imelda Staunton, Francesca Annis, Russell Tovey & Stephen Rea.

Imelda Staunton - was in Harry Potter. Won a BAFTA for Vera Drake and was nomiinated for an Oscar for that role.

Francesca Annis - ex of Ralph Fiennes. Mostly UK TV and theatre.

Stephen Rea - Starred in the Crying Game among other things.

All very well known in the UK.

r76 BJE

R73 Never watched any Harry Potter movies and I'm not familiar with UK TV or theatre actors. From the pictures though they all look like they're in their 60s. How could they play Tovey's siblings?

R79 - you should leave your cultural vacuum. It might explain why you've never heard of people anyone with a interest in entertainment beyond Hollywood would recognise or at least know the face of even if they couldn't name them.

He wouldn't be as hot if his ears were pinned back.

I'll bet he has extraordinary hearing capacity.

[quote] Typical Australian tard face.

No most of us don't say it because most of us are intelligent enough to know that he's British, not Aussi.

Aww, r80 was offended someone else does not share his interests.

Seems like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc. offer excellent job opportunities for gay actors these days. These dusty British dramas with unknown British actors are not exactly helping his career. Years and Years is a huge flop and it sounds like this new drama probably won't be a huge hit with the Netflix crowd either. He should look for some edgier roles while he is still young and hot.

I've never understood the appeal. It's not his ears—it's the smugness that he radiates.

R84 no dumbass, I'm just aware there's a cultural life outside the USA.

R 28 is correct, Russell’s porn star/physical trainer ex-fiancé was hooking up with all and sundry during their engagement, including a lot of so-called ‘friends’ and acquaintances of Russell’s and word finally got back to Russell and that was that.

He is indeed very interested in and knowledgeable about the contemporary art world and collects art himself.

And to my disappointment, I hear he is primarily a top. I just hope he is willing to bottom “for the right guy.” Like me.

"And to my disappointment, I hear he is primarily a top."

Which is weird because neither of his ex-partners look like bottoms. He'd been all over the apps these last couple of months and no one here had the pleasure of actually hooking up with him. His podcast partner is also on the apps and we even matched but he is so not my type.

Give it up, r89. He's not into fats and fems.

R90 Unfortunately I was in London for only 2 days and never saw his profile. So I will never know. Maybe you should try since you're obviously so hot and muscular.

Love him. Will sit on his face so he can lick my manpussy.

Mhm. The usual suspect...

What kind of a person (and a homo, at that) has never heard of Imelda Staunton? Get the fuck outta here.

R87, good for you, sweetie. I'm glad you feel superior to those who exist in a 'cultural vacuum' - your words.

R94 Probably 99 percent of all people outside the UK???

R93 That guy would look a lot better with a different haircut, better clothes and a proper workout. He is so dorky.

r96 Well, time to educate the jejune masses then, yourself included.

r97 I love dorky! I prefer it over the latest stylish look. It comes across as more authentic to me.

I still think Steve Brockman is hot as hell. Can’t you forgive and forget, Russell?

So go for it R99. He is single and available.

Steve Brockman is a dumb slut. I'm glad he's gone. He's also still milking his 15min of fame he got from the relationship on Instagram and is advertising razors, cars, vacations and shit there.

Russell and the ex-husband from Years and Years would make a nice couple.

So, R102? Steve is good looking *and* enterprising!

Sure R103, if you're only looking for someone you can fuck 24/7 and not have a conversation with and who will still live off you (or your name) after you've broken up years ago, Steve Brockman is definitely an excellent option for you.

[quote]Steve Brockman is a dumb slut.

Yes, he’s the “black sheep” of our family.

I prefer Russell Stover.

Someone please get poor Pedro Pascal a razor and a stylist

Worst. Gay. Ever.

Pedro Pascal hangs out with a lot of homos for a supposedly straight actor.

R95 of course I feel superior. But I'm quite used to that.

Imelda Staunton's clacking dentures and popping eye rolls make me avoid anything she is at all costs.

I understand why he's considered so hot in the UK, but why does he always try to make it over here instead? Big ears are not considered laddish and charming in the US; they're just considered trashy.

I have a baseball cap a little larger than my others and it causes my ears to jut out a little. I notice I get way more hit upon when my ears jut out. Dunno why

[quote]Worst. Gay. Ever.

Damn right!

They all try because they make a lot more money in the US. I always wonder how actors in the UK survive when all their shows only have 6 episodes per season. No Hollywood-style mansions for UK actors. He also has only worked on two American series so far, so I guess a lot of American producers agree with you R112.

He has a combo French bulldog/fetal alcohol syndrome/WT face. That's a deadly mix.

So not hot. He's an assault on the eyes.

Really R108? Worse than Aaron Shock?

British gay men and British straight women think you're adorable and matey!

Americans think, "Get those jug ears pinned back."

R118 Americans really judge someone's value on how they look? That's kind of tragic.

It's sad to say, but anyone looking for a stable committed relationship with a gay man should steer as far away from porn stars (current or former) has humanly possible. There might be a tiny few who can be faithful, but they're few and far between.

r119, you're a newbie here, aren't you?

R121 - nope been here for years, but always like to feel European and superior...

Russell's ex. His porn was hot.

I wonder if they recorded any of their fucks?

[quote]nope been here for years, but always like to feel European and superior...

It's so true that Europeans never judge by physical appearances.

We're not quite as obsessed with it as Americans seem to be. Of course it's not only confined to colonials. To be a successful British actor (for example) you need to be able to act. To be a success in Hollywood you just need to look right, talent is a minor consideration.

I don't get DL's obsession with this guy.

He's not even cute.

Please tell us some of your hotties R127

[quote] To be a successful British actor (for example) you need to be able to act. To be a success in Hollywood you just need to look right, talent is a minor consideration.

How true, and how sad. In the US if you can get pregnant as a teenager with no husband and pop out bastard after bastard, you can be a success on TV.

R129 Oh please, you're talking about reality trash which the UK has plenty of that are famous.

A dumb ugly idiot dating an even dumber porn idiot. They were clearly meant for each other. One year of dating and the cheating porn whore was/is still his best option? Sad. I followed him on Instagram for a while and all he usually posted was slag here, whore there and a LOT of eggplant emojis. Not much to discuss here. The guy is a total waste of time. All his shows were also massive flops: Looking, Banished, Quantico, Years&Years. I see a lot of theatre work in his future and hopefully don't have to see him again on my screen.

Not a fan R131?

Certainly not of this braindead loser R132. And I think we all remember his masculine rant from a few years ago. He and his porn whore can rot in masculine hell for all I care.

Oh how i'd love to see pics of some of the posters here who do nothing but criticize. Fat and butt ugly i'm sure.

R134 Maybe that's true for most Americans. Europeans are typically neither fat nor ugly (unless you're a jug-eared pale loser from Essex and date a balding, washed up, uneducated ex porn-"star").

He's a jerk. I'd suck off Schock and deal with the deep shame before I ever spoke to Russell Tovey.

"I don't get DL's obsession with this guy."

No one here is obsessed with him. He just had a major show on the BBC and now HBO and no one gave a fuck about him or his show. There isn't any discussion about him anywhere. Not even the gay sites or blogs care about him and they are usually obsessed with famous gay men. His thread here hardly moved for weeks. Not even dating a former porn star makes him remotely interesting. Neither the gay world or the general public cares much about him. And why people here still think he's a DL favorite is really beyond me .

He's not dating a former porn star, they broke up about a year ago. He didn't have a 'masculine rant', he used clumsy language and the SJWs piled on him for 'femme shaming' or some such made up bollocks. He's an actor, not a genius thinker... But the reason people got their collective non-gender-specific-undergarments in a twist was because there was a grain of truth in what he said. He's not particularly camp, he's not pretending to be straight (and to his credit, never ever has done) he's just down-to-Earth and 'laddish' (for want of a better word) in a way only Brits would really get.

Growing up in a popular culture where decades before the only media representations of gay men were either Larry Grayson, John Inman or Kenneth Williams, or a few years later all AIDS-carrying perverts. It is refreshing to see someone gay, with a bit of a media profile, not being a stereotypical actor luvvie.

Personal disclosure - I saw him on stage about 18 years ago and thought he was stunningly gorgeous. He was just my type physically. I only found out later he was gay and out. So I've followed his career a bit, he's not the most versatile of actors, but he's kind of good at what he does.

R138 Tovey and his porn whore were seen partying together at a club last week. The picture of them "magically" disappeared later. But you could also just take a look at the porn "stars" Instagram page, genius. This is not rocket science.

You sound a bit stalkerish R139.

You sound a bit naive, R140.

I think R131 has serious jealousy issues.

he legit looks like a dog

But he'll always be more successful, and adored by more people than you will ever be. I'm sure that chaps your ass.

He needs a neck.

Well R144, his latest TV endeavors, unfortunately, have all not been very successful. Years and Years was a gigantic ratings flop for the BBC. It's not looking much better on HBO. People are still talking about HBO's Big Little Lies, Euphoria and Chernobyl. Years and Years....not so much.

Tovey has a supporting role in the upcoming "The Good Liar" starring Ian McKellan and Helen Mirren.

You all sound like assholes.

He looks simple. Like he was born near a river.

I think he's hot and would suck him off

I think he's hot and I'd fuck his brains out.

And if he's top I'd even bottom for him.

R115, most actors in the US make a living without being on a television show at all.

In the UK some popular actors are on multiple shows simultaneously, because the seasons are short.

The long seasons in the US are grueling. A friend who was on a popular show for a few years (in a non-starring part) said she envied the Brits who could be on multiple shows and do theater. Week-in-week-out work, especially on the procedurals can be pretty grueling. No one dreams of saying "I would place the time of death between midnight and 3 am" even if the paycheck is good.

He's tall and has a great body. He's got ears that stick out which Brits find adorable and Americans find unappealing. As this thread amply shows, many Brits get absolutely furious if you tell them you don't find jug ears attractive.

I think it's a class thing.

Tovey is only 5'9. He is NOT tall. He has a nice torso but a fug head. The ears are the most interesting about him.

Looks like Russell can't resist Steve's pendulous dong.

Soooooo masculine!

So his bed reeks of dog . . .

More fool them, if it didn't work the first time why will it work this time?

[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.]

He looks like a Fiat with both doors hanging open.....

WORST. GAY. EVER.

Worse than Roy Cohn?

R160 Yes, there have been several pieces out lately stating they are on again. The picture however is from 2016, but the scoop is apparently true.

If he is considered sexy, someone needs to bring sexy back.

Ive never even heard of him but he does look masculine and he does look like a career marine.............and he is very good looking in my opinon.

He has the look of a hot blue collar stud. Them's the best.

R2: My ears used to look like that, too, until I was 8 years old.

But we have surgery in this country that'll fix that. I guess the NHS doesn't cover it?

R161 Those ears could get satellite TV. Or hang-glide over the Falklands. And he'll never need a paddle for ping-pong.

LEAVE RUSSELL'S EARS ALONE!!!!!

They're precious and a big part of his allure.

His ears are certainly more impressive than his brains.

[quote] Ive never even heard of him but he does look masculine and he does look like a career marine.............and he is very good looking in my opinon.

R166, check out the TV show "Looking" where Tovey stars opposite Jonathan Groff. It's hit-and-miss in certain parts, but it has some great scenes with Tovey.

Have you seen his InstaGram feed? Hideous taste in art.

He does an art podcast. He think he's a bit of an expert.

He reads book reviews like they was books.

R174: Tovey thinks a velvet painting of dogs playing poker is a masterpiece. worthy of the Tate Modern. :-)

Oh shut it. You're embarrassing yourself now. Your jealousy is palpable.

R177 (aka Russell) : Jealous? Of what?! Your friendship with that charlatan Tracy Emins?

He's in the new Helen Mirren movie, The Good Liar. Playing her grandson with whom she is having an incestuous affair.

I'd suck his cock.

R179 - Groo! Pass the sickbag, Alice.

There's something decidedly Dempseyesque about Russell in the OP pic.

Russell on art, and confirmation he's back with the porn whore.

Lookswise, he's at that great sweetspot. Not blown out and fade but extremely ripe.

Steve Brockman could do much better than Russell Tovey -- fact.

With his looks, body, and endowment Brockman could get guys richer, better looking, and more famous so old Russell better be grateful for what he's landed.

Masc bros

So masc 4 masc.

[quote] Steve Brockman could do much better than Russell Tovey -- fact.

What a bloody, little gold digger you are! So transactional.

Russell Tovey is adorable, talented, intelligent, and interesting. Brockman is adorable, and he's no doubt interesting to boot. They make a good couple.

So many prissy fems here bashing a guy who spoke the truth about masculinity and how no one wants effeminacy in men.

You can tell he's also here defending himself too.

Tragic thread as a whole.

R189 - hi Steve!

One thing that is very obvious from this thread is that apparently no one here really gives a fuck about Tovey or his masculine porn whore anymore.

We're all waiting for the DRAMA when they break up. Again.

One relationship couldn't contain all that masculinity.

R191 I care. We need more masc bros like Russell and Steve to represent us gays.

Imagine you're this hot masculine gay icon and dating a gay porn performer and the whole gay community's reaction is "Duh whatever" not worth even discussing it.

Why would Russell leave this in the first place?

^Because the guy is 10 years older now, balding, dumb and probably cheated on Tovey? He is also one of the oldest looking 32yo ever. I seriously thought he was already in his early 40s not 32.

Maybe when their sex tape leaks we'll care a bit more.

And if Brockman is 32 I must be too, even though I was born in 1972.
