Russell tovey is gay

What was a song played on set that really brought you closer to the story and your character? Actually yes, because what stands out most, even more than the tension, is Tovey’s acting opposite co-star Arinze Kene. So I feel really privileged to be part of this adventure.

Andrew is spared. Well, you used the word privilege, and it was a total privilege to take on this role, to be part of this production, to work with [writer-director] Carmen Emmi on his first feature. During a very candid interview with Pedro Pascal for Man.

Is it a coincidence that Russell’s hottest movie is also his best? It's actually because people there are wanting to tell stories and they want to get it out there as much as possible. And to do something like this, which is very experimental as a filmmaker, just by the lenses he was using, just by the texture of what you're actually looking at, it was so exciting.

And Lana Del Ray, which you wouldn't expect would be something that would kick in straight away as a hack, but it did. Art is the voice, the catalyst, the conduit to discovery, to understanding, to connectivity. When we were filming it, when he whipped out the camcorder and started doing closeup lens shots and making you walk through the forest and he was following your feet, I was like, I dunno what this guy's doing.

I think there was a lot of Philip Glass in there, which I love. In one such location, a shopping mall bathroom, Andrew locks eyes with Lucas Tom Blythand what begins as a tense, flirtatious encounter spirals into something far riskier — and far more intimate — than either expects.

I was really drawn to the overall nostalgic aesthetic of the film. Tovey’s latest film Plainclothes has already earned critical acclaim and a Sundance award, as well as for his role, for which he collected the Best Supporting Actor gong at San Diego’s FilmOut festival.

And to tell a queer story like this in any climate, but in today's climate especially, feels fundamental. We spoke about the emotional weight of the film, the power of discomfort in storytelling and what it means to tell queer stories in an era where queer lives are increasingly under threat.

From there, the two circle each other in a slow-burning, erotically charged connection that walks the line between desire and danger. The big thing I learned from Sundance is that everybody knew everything that everybody was doing; there's a real film community full of storytellers, and everybody is kind and open and you realize it's because there's no money.

What is this? Life is uncomfortable right now. And Carmen introduced me to that, and that's changed everything. A lot of music was quite obscure soundtracks. I think he's a genius to go to Sundance. And in a moment of unexpected solidarity, he lets Andrew go.

It was beautiful. What was it like to experience the film with a festival audience for the first time? Russell Tovey plays a closeted queer man in Plainclothes — a new film by Carmen Emmi in which the out actor costars alongside Tom Blyth.

He now adds the lead award at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, powered by Jaguar, to that run of success. So the atmosphere was electric. We are all paralyzed and fatigued and scared and traumatized, and at a loss for words.

The film, which premiered at Sundance early this year, is set in and draws on real accounts of police stings targeting queer men in public spaces. And he was doing that.
