Russell Tovey going on a date to an art gallery? If that sounds like a work of fawning fan fiction too good to be true, that’s because it’s not… But it almost was!Apparently, the two pals had plans on Sunday to visit an art gallery in Margate, England, where they were showing an exhibition called “‘ADHD Hyper Fixation and why it looks like I love Pedro Pascal.”If that title didn’t give it away, the exhibit—from artist Heidi Gentle Burrell—explores the effects of ADHD through a multimedia experience, all dedicated to the beloved star of The Last Of Us and The Mandalorian. (Hey, that sounds an awful lot like our shrine dedicated to the dreamy actor!)Looking star Tovey, a big-time fan of fine art, thought it’d be fun to take his friend Pascal for a cheeky visit to the gallery where he was the unknowing muse.
Unfortunately, neither of them thought to check the museum’s hours.Joined by gallerist Robert Diament—who co-hosts the art-lover’s podcast Talk Art with Tovey—the guys arrived to the Rhodes Gallery on Sunday, only to find it was closed.They commemorated the experience with an adorable selfie of the three of them outside the museum’s locked doors, which was posted to the Talk Art Instagram account:A post shared by Talk Art Podcast (@talkart)It would appear the lads planned to tour the exhibit with Pascal, and then invite him on the podcast to talk about it.
At this point, the Game Of Thrones star is probably used to seeing fan art and having folks obsess over him online, but we would’ve love to hear what he had to say about an entire museum gallery in his honor.
