Richard Madden (Robb Stark in GOT)

You would never be truly happy if you spend all your time hiding a part of yourself.

There are a lot of actors living their truth out there and still booking jobs, why cant it happen to him? He's an amazing actor foremost.

Y'all have no way of knowing if he's honest with the people in his life who matter to him. He's under no obligation to share that part of his life with the public just because people who don't know him want him to.

Gay, Straight, or otherwise being an actor does not obligate you to tell the world everything about yourself.

Dude, you do not want him to live his truth, you want him to live "the truth you created for him in your fantasies." This is not the same thing.

Exactly. When regular, non-famous people come out, do they tell the mailman and the cashier at their local Walmart? No. So why should Richard come out to random strangers?

Yup. Because he's seen as "not straight" people feel entitled to know about his life in a way that would never be expected of a straight person.
 
I'm sure he is. He's hot, not lacking in friends, family, work and everything else.
He seems content to me.

Ultimately, none of us know this man. None of us know his life experiences, mental health, insecurities, priorities, exact dimensions, or really anything. What I will say is that not being willing to be publicly “out” to whatever extent to whatever people seems to have likely contributed to killing two relationships in a row. And no, being publicly “out” doesn’t have to be giving statements and interviews. And it’s not weird for someone to be with you for years and want to be publicly claimed or want to not be afraid of being seen certain places with you or afraid of being seen indulging some pda. Let’s not act as if that’s absurd.

His “contentment” may not be much connected to being “out” or even to relationships. Just like being “out” or money or friends do not eradicate a lot of potential struggles or mental health issues. We don’t know this man enough to determine any of these things. You never know anyone’s struggles, dimensions, priorities or journeys. Common sense and experience does tell me that moving the way he does at almost 40 rarely typically reflects someone who’s “content” or someone who’s secure or full of assurance or who’s actually a good person.

Being almost 40 in 2024 and having fame, money, looks, career opportunities, no female partner but still being really worried about how the public perceives your potential queerness and telling your years long partners who are quite a bit younger than you that there are certain things you can’t be seen doing publicly and that you can’t publicly claim them. All of that hints towards things like insecurities, discontentment, uncertainty around what you want and uncertainty around the gender, sexual, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. And it may hints towards being a user or manipulator or having some abusive tendencies. It does not scream “contentment”. However, a lot of these guys move weird af and forever contend with a lot of struggles. So, many of you are used to it.

Found J.D. Vance's burner account!

I can't believe Richard and his partners had all these conversations with you right there in the room! The manners on some people!

Are you doing a bit?

Idk, you sound like an expert in "weird af" and "a lot of struggles."
