Russell Tovey Live-Tweets “Flight From Hell,” Lives To Tweet Another Day
Russell Tovey has had a really tough time, you guys.
It’s been reported that on a recent flight from London to NYC, the British actor and proud masculine man was seated next to, as multiple outlets have described, the “passenger from hell!” Spooky.
Tovey live-tweeted his satanic experience mid-flight.
Things started out optimistic enough:

But quickly Tovey’s row-mate began to show his dark, twisted true nature, mistaking the Brit for — dare we say it? — an Australian:
Guy next to me thought I was Australian X — Russell Tovey (@russelltovey) October 3, 2015
Then he had the audacity to follow up his insulting geographical question with not one, two or even five sneezes, but seven or eight! It’s as if Russell was seated next to the Devil himself:
He’s also stolen my blanket and sneezed around about 7 or 8 times.. I said ‘bless you’ first three… I can’t be bothered anymore X
— Russell Tovey (@russelltovey) October 3, 2015
And it’s kinda embarrassing.. I mean.. How much dust is there up your nose? X

Oh it’s coughing now X — Russell Tovey (@russelltovey) October 3, 2015
But while the coughing eventually subsided, the horror didn’t stop there.
Coughing fit over… Eye mask on… Open mouthed snoring X #7.5hourstogo #awesome — Russell Tovey (@russelltovey) October 3, 2015
Still asleep with my blanket keeping his feet warm… X
— Russell Tovey (@russelltovey) October 3, 2015
I’m actually freezing… Gonna ask for another blanket, he’s not wearing any shoes.. X

Flights from London to NYC are about eight hours, which means that all of this tweeting transpired over the course of thirty-odd minutes. Before Russell was forced to — it’s almost too awful to even think — ask the flight attendant for an extra blanket, something truly miraculous happened. A passenger who’d been following Russell’s plight from three rows back tweeted him:
@russelltovey I have a spare on in 7A. Interested? ? — @0EmissionCar (@0EmissionCar) October 3, 2015
Non-sneezing civilized identically dressed guys to the rescue!
These guys are actually following my tweets from 3 rows behind me! Say hello to @0EmissionCar hahaha #mental X pic.twitter.com/TguXZUJazE

And they all lived happily ever after.
