Russell Tovey is fronting a new campaign for clothing company Stone Island.
The 42-year-old actor has followed in the footsteps of Oasis star Liam Gallagher by starring in adverts for the brand’s 2024 autumn/winter line with the campaign being described as a “research project” into the community wearing Stone Island’s garments.
In an interview to accompany the campaign, Russell discussed his views on life and the world. When asked: Are there any quotes you live by?” he replied: “Never apologise for enthusiasm”.
He also revealed that if he wasn’t an actor, he would like to “run an art institution” and he enjoys getting up early rather than staying up late.
The pictures show Russell wearing items including a sheepskin coat, a beige parka and a heavy wool jacket.
He follows in the footsteps of Oasis star Liam Gallagher, who has also posed for the brand’s autumn/winter campaign.
Liam posed in one of the brand’s parkas also also answered light-hearted questions to promote the brand.
When asked to name his favourite season, the rocker replied: “Football season” and when asked to name his favourite time of day, Liam explained: “I get up at four or five in the morning. Then I’m just waiting for something fucking spectacular to happen.”
Liam also shared his favourite breakfast, revealing he likes to start the day with healthy porridge. He added: “I have porridge for breakfast, then if I’m feeling really rock ‘n’ roll I’ll have some almonds on it and a bit of honey.”
Liam’s interview concluded with him saying: “[I am grateful for] everything. I f****** love being alive. It’s amazing.”

Russell Tovey Commends Treat Williams’ Final Performance in ‘Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans’
TV INSIDER – Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans may focus on the falling out between Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) and the women of New York City’s high society, but the FX anthology series is also the late Treat Williams‘ final onscreen role.
The actor, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in June 2023, takes on the part of Bill Paley, husband to Naomi Watts‘ Babe, who was a close confidante of Capote’s until a fateful turn of events puts them on opposing sides in Ryan Murphy‘s series.
Bill Paley is best known for his contributions to media, particularly as the former executive responsible for building CBS from a small radio network into one of the leading radio and television networks in the United States. But he was also known for his extramarital dalliances, an aspect of his life that is incorporated into the show.
When TV Insider caught up with series star Russell Tovey who plays banker John O’Shea, at the red carpet premiere, the actor couldn’t help but commend Williams’ final performance, lauding the performer’s portrayal of Paley.
“Treat Williams, it’s so horrific that he’s not here,” Tovey lamented. “It’s such an absolute tragedy. And what he does with the character is so beautiful.”

Regarding Bill as a person, Tovey admitted, “I think in real life, Bill Paley wasn’t that nice of a guy from what I’ve read.” But despite the pitfalls of the real-life inspiration behind the character, Tovey says of Williams, “I think he plays him so he’s not a bad person… You have empathy for him.”See Williams’ final performance and Tovey’s compelling portrayal when Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans arrives on FX this winter, and stay tuned for more on the series leading up to its premiere.
