These days, Russell Tovey only has two things on his brain: love and babies.
“I want someone to call me Daddy,” the 36-year-old actor tells Gay Times in a new interview. “I remember being at school, junior school, and already wanting to be a dad.”
There’s just one problem… He doesn’t have anyone to co-parent with. At least, not at the moment. He and fiancee Steve Brockman split up earlier this summer.
But he’s not gonna let singledom stop him from procreating. Tovey has vowed that, if he’s still single in three years, he’s going to go at it alone.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Now I’m 36, I’m giving myself three years,” he says. “If I haven’t met someone that wants kids, I’m going to do it by myself.”
And for any candidates interested in potentially co-dadding with him, Tovey offers this piece of advice: Don’t send him your d*ck pics!
“It’s so much more exciting when you’re in a bar and you catch someone’s eye and you smile and go over and shake someone’s hand,” he says. “That is far sexier than being sent someone’s d*ck pic.”
The actor adds that, in addition to being kinda old-fashioned, he’s “very, very, very vanilla,” describing himself as “a one-man guy.”
“I just want to be with that person,” he says, dreamily, “whoever that person is.”

We never know exactly what type of people celebrities are. Based on this article (and his own quotes), Mr. Tovey sounds like a wonderful man.

Russell can try to get me pregnant any time he wants.

I agree with Russell on the penis pics. When you don’t request the revealing pictures from whoever, it is utterly disgusting to receive a photo that screams rude and disrespectful. Honestly, how many men like to see d*ck pics? They are so tiresome and distasteful.

Single men can foster and adopt. Two parents make things easier but there are many kids out there that will thrive just to have someone who loves them.

I agree and I hope he does.
nitejonboy
I couldn’t agree more, he should become a foster parent right now!! At least until I can find him!

When I see more pick pics on a males profile I block and move on.It reeks of deep insecurity and arrogance and shallowness. So passe. I want to know about the person. I know what a penis looks like. I agree with Russell. Sounds like a kewl bloke.

Not to mention what a beautiful print shirt he has on in the photo. It’s that kind of photos most men want to receive, not some sleazy and disgusting dick or butt pics.

With thumbs like those, I wouldn’t want to see d**k pics either.

Instant dick pics are usually a turn-off but let me count the numbers of times after a “proper introduction” it eould have been nice if the other person had a dick pic available before the conversation went too far.

I did exactly that. Quite a few years ago I walked up to Russell in a bar in Miami and said hey. He seemed so excited when I asked if he was Russell Tovey. He said yes, and I said I loved the history boys. Once I said that he seems so disappointed that I was just another fan. Oh well opportunity lost.

I’m on Tovey with this one. I prefer to meet people in person rather than exchange pics and decide in a few text messages whether or not we are compatible.
I’m not sure how a d*ck pic is going to make or break the relationship unless there’s an unyielding idea of what it should look like. You’ll find out in person soon enough if you get to that point.

“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. I thank my dad for that, for not allowing me to go down that path. Because it’s probably given me the unique quality that people think I have.”
Get her!

I WOULD NOT WASTE TIME ON A BORING SHALLOW QUEEN LIKE RUSSELL TOVEY WHO THINKS ONLY MASCULINE MEN MATTER.
Black Pegasus
B!tch please! Russell Tovey is the same queen who paraded a Seancody porn star on his Instagram page then got pissy with fans who questioned why was he hanging out with gay porn performers?

Those ears.
