Actor Richard Madden of Game of Thrones fame has reacted to speculation he's dating fellow actor Brandon Flynn.

Madden has been photographed on numerous occasions with Brandon Flynn, who used to date musician Sam Smith.

The 32-year-old actor told The New York Times,

“I just keep my personal life personal. I’ve never talked about my relationships.”

Former Flame

Although he has tried to keep his relationships private, some of his famous exes are known.

He dated actress Jenna Coleman but the couple split in 2015. Madden’s next girlfriend was Ellie Bamber. They started dating in the summer of 2017 but the couple broke up in January 2019.

Madden, who portrayed Rob Stark in Game of Thrones, has also been linked to TV presenter Laura Whitmore from March to August 2016, and model Suki Waterhouse in December 2016.

Paparazzi

He also spoke about the increased presence of paparazzi in his life and how he’s tried dealing with them,

"I wear the same clothes days in a row, because if it looks like the same day, they can’t run the pictures. There’s only so many photos you can have of me with a green juice walking down the street.

I’ll be at hotels and restaurants where they’ll tell you, ‘There’s paparazzi in the front, do you want to go out the front or go out the back? And you go, ‘Who wants to out the front?’ And they say, ‘Oh, quite a lot of people!’”

Move to LA

Richard Madden, who recently starred in Elton John biopic Rocketman as John Reid is believed to be living with Brandon Flynn in Los Angeles. 

Madden who relocated to LA to carve out a career in Hollywood is said to have been introduced to lots of Flynn’s friends. He had said that the California way of life suited him,

“I've been rather disinterested in living in LA. for most of my career, but I've recently spent a lot more time here. It suits me more, it's a much more proactive place. I can be lazier in London than I can be in LA.”
