Richard Madden Gay: Sometimes, an on-screen character becomes more popular than an actor’s actual personality. It fits perfectly with Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in Game Of Thrones.

Since then, he has become one of the most discussed faces among people, especially females. But, in recent times, the Game of Thrones star has been making gossip as his sexuality has become a hot topic to discuss. While many believe him to be gay, others claim the actor has a bisexual nature. Moreover, the Cinderella actor has often been linked to Brandon Flynn, and that too romantically. This is why Richard Madden Gay rumors are making a stir on the internet. Here’s what you should know about it!
Richard Madden Gay: How Did The Rumors Spark?
An actor’s life is defined much by his works and the characters he or she chooses to play. When applying the same logic to Richard Madden, things are a bit different. Although his on-screen presence has much to say about his career, when it comes to Richard Madden Gay rumors, none of his roles have ignited such gossip. The speculations arose for the first time when the actor was spotted being a bit cozy with Brandon Flynn. After a few paparazzi caught them together in the streets of Los Angeles, the gay rumors reached new heights. Hence, many people speculated them to be an item. For those who are unknown, Flynn is famous for playing Justin Foley in 13 Reasons Why.
According to the media reports, Richard Madden was spotted buying some errands together after they possibly moved in together. They were seen hanging out with each other in November 2018 when the Game of Thrones star was already dating a girl. Apart from all these, there are several photographs that show him and Flynn being in ‘more than friends’ poses. In one of the viral pictures, Brandon has his hand on Madden’s back.

Richard Madden Gay: Did He Share A Romantic Relationship With Brandon Flynn?
As already mentioned, Flynn and Madden were possibly roommates, and fans believed them to be in a live-in relationship. While it seemed like a friendly bond, they did not prefer talking about the linkup. Things became more interesting when Richard Madden refused to talk about his personal life. Therefore, people assumed that he might be shy in accepting a same-sex relationship, and so he has kept things under wraps. Besides him, Brandon Flynn was also reluctant to talk about the entire scenario and thus remained silent on Richard Madden Gay’s rumors.
However, in a candid interview with Variety Magazine, the 13 Reasons Why star opened up about being a member of the queer community. Soon, Flynn came out of the closet and announced being a part of the LGBTQ member in 2017. It made fans believe in Richard Madden Gay rumors. It fueled the wildfire, and since then, the actor has been speculated to be sharing a romantic relationship with Richard Madden. When asked about it, Brandon said that the rumor cycle would keep going around until the people would not make it all true or false.
On the other hand, in an interview with the New York Times, Richard was asked whether or not he dated the 13 Reasons Why actor. But responding to the same, he did not answer it clearly. He waved off the interest in his sexuality and talked more about his professional career, thereby shifting the focus. Hence, it appears the star doesn’t want to address Richard Madden Gay’s rumors. Furthermore, as far as their current status is concerned, Richard and Brandon have moved on. Reports claim that they have parted ways as the latter did not invite the Cinderella star to one of his parties.
Richard Madden Was Called Gay For Taking Acting Lessons!
Not everyone gets an instant start in the acting career. And when talking about Richard Madden, he worked at a call center before rising to prominence. Born in Elderslie, the Citadel has spent most of his childhood in the village. Since his school had no acting courses, Richard decided to take up drama lessons at Paisley Arts Centre at least twice a week. Further, the actor worked at a call center selling kitchens. However, he was continuously mocked by other colleagues for attending acting lessons and acting in stage performances.
According to Billy McDougall, (Richard’s ex-colleague) sat down to discuss a few aspects with The Sun. He revealed that people of a theatre background were suitable for the call center job. It is because they were attention-seeking and flamboyant. Furthermore, Billy opened up about how he used to think Richard Madden was gay as he wore a bandana back. On top of that, the actor also had a bleach stripe through his hair. Many were jealous of him, and hence, it was one of the ways through which the Citradel actor’s name could be turned down, including sparking Richard Madden Gay words.
Did Richard Date Froy Gutierrez During The COVID-19 Pandemic?
2020 was probably the worst time of the decade when the world suffered uncountable adversities. People were advised to stay at home, and Richard Madden preferred spending his lockdown with Cruel Summer star Froy Gutierrez. Reportedly, they moved in together and rented Emilia Clarke’s Los Angeles property at $20,000 a month. A source close to the stars said that the two got everything in the house that they needed. Therefore, after Brandon Flynn, the Game Of Thrones star, was accused of having another same-sex relationship with Froy.
In 2021, Madden and Gutierrez were also spotted together while spending some time together. The duo went out for a picnic and looked happy together. Another instance was when the pair was noted sharing comfortability in Italy when they were reported to be together before the Giffoni Film Festival. Although the actors had years of gap in age, fans always claimed they were in a romantic relationship. Nevertheless, none of them addressed any gossip about their linkup, thereby leaving the fans in confusion. In addition to this, Richard had not revealed his sexuality publicly and did not spill the beans on Richard Madden Gay rumors. Hence, it is unclear whether or not he is straight, queer, or bisexual.
Who Is Richard Madden Dating In 2023?
Talking about the current relationship status, Richard Madden is likely to be single and is not dating anyone.
