In a candid chat for Man About Town, Pedro Pascal and Russell Tovey dive deep into queerness, shame, and sexual fluidity while discussing Plainclothes, Carmen Emmi’s new film. Tovey, who plays a closeted cop, praises the movie’s raw portrayal of desire and power. Pascal calls it “nostalgic,” echoing ‘90s indie queer cinema, where eroticism meets emotional truth. Soon Pascal teases, “He’s vers,” and Tovey laughs, “Yeah — and so is Lucas. It’s the best way to be. Vers is the best.” Set in 1997, Plainclothes explores shame, danger, and liberation—anchored by two actors unafraid to celebrate every side of being queer.
