This Decision Will Be A Royal Pain

[Blind Gossip] This male actor was one of the stars of an epic cable TV series.

He does movies, too. In fact, he will be seen in a big movie coming out in the next couple of months.

While everyone has been gossiping about the fact that he has moved in with a younger male actor, there is an issue other than his sexuality that we need to discuss.

His next career move.

He really was being considered for [that iconic film role]. However, that role requires someone that men see as a role model and that women will fantasize about. If he comes out, there is no way that they will cast him. It may not be politically correct… but it is reality.

Making the best decision will certainly be a royal pain!

    Can we get over the ridiculous “women won’t Fantasize about a gay man” trope? As if Matt Bomer and I would be having all the sex if only he were straight 🙄 sexy people are sexy. Fantasies are FANTASIES. Hollywood needs to get over their hang ups!

  2. Snarkles says

    Well we can’t consider Sam Heughan – he was gay before he got that Outlander gig then went back in the closet. Make up your mind, sweetie.

    I’m going to go Richard Madden here. He pings like sonar. And 007’s more Cavill’s gig.

    Richard Madden.

    It’d be a shame not to live as who you are. And Matt Bomer being gay certainly didn’t stop any woman from fantasising about him hehe

  4. nowyoutellme says

    Richard Madden. Aside from the sexuality question, he won’t be cast simply because he’s too short. I’m late to posting this so one one will read it, but that’s the reason he won’t get the Bond role.

  5. yo1774 says

    First, i understand there’s a lot of Bond fans, but Bond is not exactly Oscar worthy.
    Madden can act, he is right now in a hit tv show, his career will be perfectly ok no matter what he’ll do

  6. GingerGirl3 says

    This is supposed to be Richard Madden…but I don’t want to believe it! That smolder had me fooled…

  8. sheanyc426 says

    Richard Madden
    Roles: was on Game of Thrones (Robb Stark, King of the North); up for James Bond (after being on The Bodyguard)

  15. PinkRose22 says

    Richard Madden. Rumor is he bi & dating Sam Smith’s ex (younger male actor) from “13 Reasons Why”. Big movie: Rocketman (also has gay scene with Taron Egerton in it). Iconic role: James Bond 007. I think he’ll try to keep his sexuality ambiguous since it makes him mysterious & keeps ppl guessing/talking about him, tho he openly posted pics with the 13RW actor in matching necklaces, gave interviews and has other pics with guys that seem more than friendly. Maybe hiding in plain sight…

  17. cassadaga says

    Richard Madden.

    He’s moved in with a gay 25-year-old actor. He’ll be in the Elton John biopic soon.

    No idea about the iconic film role, however.

  19. mdwrap says

    This is about Richard Madden. He is in the running to be the next James Bond.

    Clues: he was in GOT, in the film Rocketman coming out soon, moved in with that actor from 13 Reasons Why.

  27. amybabs31 says

    Actor: Richard Madden
    Role: James Bond
    What should he do: I’d rather be happy in my personal life and lose the role, rather than put on a macho ladies man act.

  29. pina colada says

    Richard Madden
    He was in game of thrones, rocket man is coming out soon. He played Prince Charming in Cinderella (royal pain)

    The role is bond

    He should be himself and should be respected for that

  34. xomollypops14ox says

    Richard Madden

    James Bond

    God forbid he be friends with a gay man………seriously, it’s 2019. I personally think he’s too young to be James Bond but certainly wouldn’t want him to not get the role because of his sexuality whatever it be.

  36. upjess says

    Richard Madden. Ugh no-one cares if he’s gay! Casting directors need to stop taking everyone for idiots.

  37. purplefluffybunny says

    Richard Madden

    Bond

    I think he should be open with who he is – if the producers of Bond are that narrow minded then sod ’em!!!

  38. chezgreen71 says

    Actor: Richard Maddon

    Role: James Bond

    Not sure it matters, now it’s being talked about it won’t happen

  39. aurorabelle says

    Actor: Richard Madden
    Role: James Bond
    [Optional] Don’t deny it, but maybe keep it on the DL? But I’ve seen Bodyguard, and he has no whatsoever problems portraying a heterosexual. Still rooting for him to be picked as the next 007!

    • sophiet1001 says

      Apparently just moved in with Sam Smith’s ex Brandon Flynn.. roomies *cough cough*

  41. radmom says

    GOT’s Richard Madden (Robb Stark), and Brandon Flynn. They were spotted out arm in arm recently. Just come out

  42. knit-tink says

    Actor: Richard Madden who played (King) Robb Stark in the Game of Thrones. The word is he’s moving in with Brandon Flynn (Sam Smith’s ex).
    Role: James Bond

  43. cherry37 says

    Richard Madden
    Bond
    He should come out. I would like to see him in a superhero role. I don’t think he will play Bond anyway.

  46. mockney_rebel says

    Richard Madden
    James Bond

    falling over themselves publishing innuendo-laden stories about his ‘friendship’ this week

  48. LadyFluffyDuck says

    Oooooh, Richard Madden, aka “Da King in Da Norf” Robb Stark from GoT! He was in contention for playing James Bond, and he’s in the upcoming Elton John biopic.

    Optional: they’ll go with Idris Elba for the next Bond, so it’s really up to him whether he comes out or not. As much as Hollywood likes to pretend it’s come a long way since RockHudson, the fact of the matter is coming out will materially damage his career, as it’s unlikely he’ll be considered for romantic leads.

  49. spoofbyrd says

    I guess this is a Game of Thrones reference but who I don’t know ! Wild guess Jason Mamoa who is married but that doesn’t always mean anything. How about the Tudors even though picture recalls King John not Henry VIII . Another wild guess Johnathan Rhys Meyers.who is also married

  54. bd2010 says

    Actor:Richard Madden

    Role: James Bond

    [Optional] What do you think he should do/will do?: He will stay in the closet

  58. janedobe says

    Richard Madden. And Bond. No way he will be cast now due to the question even being put out there because their countries are still against homosexuality like in China where there is a HUGE MARKET for action films. Also….Richard is so short!

    I still think Henry Cavill will end up getting it. He just left the Superman role and he was considered years ago for the role of Bond with Craig, but, they thought he was too young at the time. He seems at the right age now too. Can’t wait to…

    • Knightbird says

      “Richard is so short!” It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it? The Universal Intelligence made us different sizes, different colours, different shapes, different sexes, different orientations…

    • Henriette says

      Just FYI, I doubt there’ll be a problem of Bond being played in China because the leading actor is gay, just like how the tickets for Troye Sivan’s concert were sold out within an hour.

      Besides, you have no idea how much the younger generations adore gay people lol

  60. ash_ley says

    Actor: Richard Madden (younger male actor is Brandon Flynn)

    Role: James Bond

    [Optional] What do you think he should do/will do? I think he should just come out, and he’ll find another role. James Bond is amazing, but I’m sure he’ll be okay either way.

  65. craicmehappy says

    Richard Madden

    James Bond

    He should do whatever makes him happy. As a woman, I wouldn’t care if a gay dude was cast as Bond. Why does it matter really?

  70. Monysmom says

    I’d say jonathan rhys meyers (from The Tudors) women would love him – he’s very handsome – but men might not …… but sadly I’m not sure a studio would cast him in a big movie given his substance abuse history

  72. brobdingnagian says

    Richard Madden

    I don’t think he will come out. The lure of being the next James Bond will mean staying in the closet.

    Staying in the closet will definitely help secure those action star roles!

  73. gunther85 says

    Richard Madsen
    I think he seems very unbothered by the speculation so he may just stay mum.

  76. Manchestercowboy says

    Richard Madden, who is in the running for Bond.
    If i were him and passed over, I’d make a huge fuss about it and blame it on my sexuality. Oh and id come out very publicly so that way i could get ahead of it.

    • luvprue1 says

      Richard Madden

      The NEW James Bond

      Optional: He should wait. One of the biggest thing is to sell your character. If the character is straight, which James Bond is. You have to be believable as a straight man. If he come out as gay , it would ruin the illusion of the character being straight. Everyone will be focusing on signs that the character is gay, because the actor is gay.

  81. gossipzillaisback says

    Actor: Richard Madden, who was in GoT.

    Role: Bond, obviously.

    [Optional] What do you think he should do/will do? Whatever it takes to get the Bond role. It’s not Oscar stuff, but it’s the role of your life… you can come out after you done your 3-4 movies.

  86. mountaingirl82 says

    Idk the actor but it’s for the role of James Bond
    It’ll probably go to a male that’s straight, which is unfortunate

  88. threecatz says

    This is Richard Madden.
    All the gossip sites and twitter are speculating about his relationship with Brandon Flynn.
    Royal Pain is the hint: roles in GOT and Cinderella as royalty.
    Even if he and Brandon are just friends , the speculation will kill any chance he had at Bond.
    He might as well be honest about his relationship with Brandon. Straight/bi/gay, unfortunately, this killed any shot he had at the role.

  90. 2infinity says

    I think this is Richard Madden AKA Robb Stark from Game of Thrones. He’s coming out in that Elton John movie soon. The iconic movie role was probably James Bond. I doubt he’s gay and even if he is women (like myself) will still fantasize about him, he’s really a cutie!

  93. LizardQueen says

    Richard Madden??? He was on Game of Thrones and is going to be in Rocketman

    Role: Bond

    But… I could be way off.

  94. ghostrider44 says

    Richard Madden
    James Bond
    Clues Royal = King of the North ,” was” in Game of Thrones, next big movie he is in is Rocketman, I don’t think he will come out yet.

    • yesyesyall says

      FYeah Richard Madden…
      …and no matter who his roomate is he’s hot AF and especially after The Bodyguard I’d fangrrl gard for him as 007.

    • ladymisskimberley says

      Same as above.
      Cast him. I don’t care if he’s gay. If a man that’s looks like that didn’t have a boyfriend, he’d have a girlfriend. So i haven’t got a chance either way. In my head it’s a whole different story of course. And right now he’s a delicious dream in a tux… cast him.
