Russell Tovey's new, true-life gay movie has finished filming

Your next gay movie obsession has officially wrapped.

Plainclothes, a ’90s-set period piece inspired by true events and starring Russell Tovey and Tom Blyth, follows an undercover cop who finds himself falling for one of his targets, and it just got another step closer to being done.

Filming has officially wrapped on Plainclothes, which comes from writer/directed Carmen Emmi and follows “a working-class undercover officer” who “is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets.”

According to the film’s producers, Plainclothes “is a heartfelt story that deals with internal conflict, family, and the complexities of sexual identity in the face of societal and personal expectations.”

The announcement came from Film Updates, who shared a picture of Emmi with his two stars, Tovey and Blyth on set.

When he hasn’t been busy filming, Tovey has been having a great time teasing his fans with sexy and funny t-shirts.

Back in February, Tovey, who co-hosts an art podcast called Talk Art with his friend Robert Diament, showed off his love for art with a cheeky shirt that read “Take me to an art museum and fuck me in the bathroom.”

Later, in March, he shared an idea for a new piece of merch for the podcast, a t-shirt that simply reads “Russell Tovey’s ears are my kink.”

It’s a message we couldn’t agree with more strongly!
