I'm not a romantic lead. I have sticking-out ears and a little troll nose. Russell Tovey earleadnose Change image and share on social
The only thing I can give to young gay people is that when I was growing up, there were no role models that were blokey that were men. Everybody was flamboyant and camp, and I remember going, 'That's not me, so even though I think I am gay, I don't think I fit into this world.' Russell Tovey blokeycampfit share on social
I'd actually quite like to try working behind a bar for a while. I'd give that a go. Russell Tovey bargivework Change image and share on social
When I was younger, I had terrible skin... my mother has terrible skin. Male-pattern hair loss is starting to come in... my dad is bald. It's so unfair; my brother's tall, has perfect skin, great hair, but I'm like the runt. Russell Tovey baldbrotherdad share on social
I was a hairdresser's assistant. I used to get 20p tips for washing an old woman's hair. I used to get there at 8 A.M., leave at 6 P.M. and get £10. Russell Tovey 20passistanthair Change image and share on social
I think a part of me romantically thinks it would be amazing to learn to dance or ice skate, but in reality, I don't think it would be beneficial to my career. Russell Tovey amazebeneficialcareer Change image and share on social
My mum used to think it was the pill that made you gay. There was too much estrogen in the water, and people started taking the pill in the '60s, and it made everybody gay. Russell Tovey 60sestrogengay Change image and share on social
I never felt I was attractive to women. I felt I was attractive to men when I was growing up. And even now, if a woman fancies me, I find that a bit alienating. Russell Tovey alienateattractivebite Change image and share on social
'Only Fools and Horses' was just one of those shows that could keep on going and going, that excited me. 'Hartbeat with Tony Hart' and 'Rolf's Cartoon Club' were my huge favourites, though. I used to love drawing and always sent work in to the show. Russell Tovey cartoonclubdraw share on social
Romantically, in my head, I'm Rambo, but if someone's shouting at me, I get adrenalin shakes and go red. When I'm really low, I have a good cry. Russell Tovey adrenalincrygood Change image and share on social
