OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Tovey thinks it’s tough to remain “hot” as an actor.
The 38-year-old star acknowledges that any major flop could mark the beginning of the end for an actor’s career, so he’s always eager to be “a bit of a chameleon in roles”.
He explained: “If you’re hot, you can only stay hot for so long. To maintain that hotness is really hard, the moment you have a flop, things can start to wane.
“It is much more rewarding to stay warm, be someone that everyone loves to work with and be a bit of a chameleon in roles.”
Russell feels he has always maintained a warmth, rather than being a “record-breaking day in July”.
He told the BBC: “I think that’s my sort of energy, rather than being like a scorching record-breaking day in July. I feel like I sort of coasted through like a gentle day where you might need a sweater in the evening, but otherwise you’re happy just wearing a T-shirt.”
Russell plays a man fighting against the dark secrets of his past in ITV’s new thriller ‘The Sister’.
And he’s admitted he wouldn’t have been able to play the role earlier in his career.
He explained: “The thing about being an actor is that you cherry-pick emotions from your real life and then channel them into playing roles.
“So what I’ve experienced since my early 20s to late 30s is totally different and an asset to be able to access these sorts of characters and unlock them.
“There is no way I could have played Nathan in my 20s like I can play him now.”
