Russell Tovey Calls Himself a 'Basic Bitch'
Tovey loves diners: “I’m an Americanphile. I love a diner. For me, it’s like being in ‘Home Alone’ or something.”
He’s a self-proclaimed basic bitch: “I think I’m a pretty basic bitch when it comes to having a postshow meltdown moment, of having to release. I’m really not one of them guys who’s like: ‘I can’t sleep. I’m buzzing. I have to go out, I need to drink whiskey! I need to go to the bar where everyone’s out and, like, network.’ I want to go home and catch up on Netflix.”
He’s totz classy and collects art: “All my money goes to art. Most of this Broadway money’s going on something.”
He digs the fetishy press about his ears: “It’s a compliment! They’re not saying: ‘Ew. I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.’ Then, I’d be upset.”
And he gets flushed when he crushes on someone: “If I find someone attractive, I can get blushy. But I fight that.”
