(He shows off his gray hair.) I can’t get away from it now! It’s happening. It’s acknowledged in its own line in the last episode. In one of the more poignant scenes, I love that your gray hair got written in. Your story arc in “The Sister” has a poignancy that allows you room to emote. But with acting, you are kind of blessed with the fact that you can exercise emotions through the characters you play. You’d be straight up to HR and they’d be firing you or giving you, like, some time off work (laughs). And what other job can you cry your eyes out and everyone gives you a round of applause after? You don’t do that anywhere else. This (is) a bit psychopathic, but actors are able to retain the essence of a feeling in our psyche. I’ve got lots of things that I draw on throughout my life: sad events, stories and stuff. With “The Sister,” I was impressed by your ability to cry. There’s less time to socialize as a group of actors. That feels really great in some ways (laughs). What has been your experience filming during lockdown? Yes, of course! Can you imagine if you were responsible for anything that happened to Celine Dion?

I’m glad that you noted that you’re getting tested, because with the movie you’re referring to, “Text For You,” my first thought was: You have to protect Celine Dion at all costs. Yes, we’ve been getting COVID-tested every two days, but I think everyone’s so determined to keep working and telling stories that you jump through all the hoops, whatever they may be. And then last week, I just completed an improv movie I’ve been doing in Wales here, so I’ve been really fortunate that the filming is something that we’ve been allowed to do.
Before Christmas I was doing a movie with Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan and Celine Dion, and that was amazing. I thought, “This is something that has to change.” That was fun for a while, then I think I got a bit too heavy and a bit out of breath walking from the bathroom to the kitchen. You’re right, I did have the pizza and the bottle of red wine a night. Making sure that I’m getting out of the house. Mentally, etcetera, etcetera: 10,000 steps a day, trying to get that in. Where are you at right now mentally, etcetera, etcetera, with all of this? Well, it seems you’ve gotten past the “pizza and wine every night” phase of the pandemic. Tovey’s passion for visual art is apparent even on Zoom, where I connected with the actor and podcaster during the virtual junket for “The Sister.” Outside of acting, Tovey produces a podcast called TalkArt, which is dedicated to all things art, with gallerist Robert Diament. That is true of his role in Hulu’s four-part twisty murder-thriller “The Sister” as Nathan Redman, whose past - which includes a dead woman, and a peculiar man named Bob - comes back to haunt him. You know it's going to happen.Once in a while, Tovey plays straight.
''I do worry about how I'm going to look in screen-grabs and GIFS. 'Erect nipples add so much to a scene I think. '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. Tovey also admitted to being conscious of his appearance during his raunchy scenes for 'Looking'. ''Like, I'll only touch their balls if it says so in the script.' ''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. ''The same way I feel fine doing sex scenes with a woman. 'It's easier doing those scenes with another gay man than it is a straight man,' he told Heat. 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'. Russell Tovey has opened up about filming gay sex scenes with straight guys. You may know British actor Russel Tovey from HBO's 'Looking' or from the original 'Being Human'.
