Russell Tovey On 'Looking' Sex Scenes With Jonathan Groff, Baring His Butt And That 'Rim Job' Cake

Out British hunk Russell Tovey says shooting steamy love scenes on HBO's "Looking " with co-star Jonathan Groff "just feels so cool."

"We're such good mates now and we laugh and we love doing our scenes together," Tovey, who will become a series regular on the second season of "Looking," tells PrideSource's Chris Azzopardi . "Neither of us hold back or feel any pang of responsibility for the other one when it comes to that. We just trust each other on a completely open level. Either of us could go to the other, 'Hey, you should put your dick in there.'"

Castmates celebrated Tovey's 33rd birthday with a cake featuring an almost-NSFW message that, as it turns out, could be a hint of what lies in store for the boys on "Looking."

Tovey shared an image of the naughty confection on Instagram:

"As the season goes on you'll see where that comes from," Tovey quips. "We were on a night shoot during our lunch and that cake turned up and I was over the moon. My mom and dad were like, 'Oh, I love the cake. Not sure about the rim job. Yeah, not sure of the words -- but the cake looks lovely!'"

As for the attention his well-sculpted derrire has gotten on social media, Tovey notes, "In the future, I imagine myself looking back and going, 'God, I had a nice ass. Glad I got that out.' If it's there now, I'm getting it out because it's not always gonna look like that ... I've grown it myself, and I also have my parents to thank for it being well-received."

In regard to the impact of "Looking," he adds, "This show is where we are now -- in a place where it feels we've moved on so far that we're able to make a show like this."
