Russell Tovey Was Very Upset Over His Femme Controversy<\/b><\/p>\n

Stop what you’re doing — Russell Tovey<\/a> is upset.<\/p>\n

Last year, the actor ruffled feathers by saying he was grateful for all the childhood bullying that cured him of being “really effeminate.”<\/p>\n

Well, now he’s a year older and perhaps wiser<\/a>. Or perhaps not.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with Attitude, <\/em>he says he “never meant to upset anyone.”<\/p>\n

\n

Things come out the way you don’t intend them to. It was a very upsetting time for me. … I learned from it and I’ve grown from it. … I’ve found you’ve just got to be true to yourself, be a good person and the work should speak for itself.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At least he recognizes that he said something hurtful, intimating that that there’s something wrong with being effeminate.<\/p>\n

Well, now<\/a> that he’s committed to being himself and being a good person, it’s a perfect time to explain how being effeminate is totally great.<\/p>\n

Go ahead, Russell, we’re waiting.<\/p>\n
