Richard Madden wants to escape all the fame
Actor Richard Madden was shot to fame when he played the character of the traumatized ex-squaddie Sgt David Budd. This role garnered a lot of fans for him and brought him a lot of attention. He was the people’s pick for the next James Bond after Daniel Craig decides to step down.
But Richard admitted that he does not enjoy the limelight. He is not happy with his sex symbol status. He is on the lookout for a secluded place where he can escape from all this fame. Madden wants to be also near his parents’ home which is on the West Coast of the UK. It is his wish to stay as private as possible.
Richard, 32 said:
“My aim is to buy a little place on the west coast to escape. It’s so gorgeous. I am also my happiest up there.”
So he has plans to flee to Scotland and enjoy the serenity and calm life there. Richard has been interviewed by the Daily Star and he said that if given the chance he would prefer to bow out of the public eye and escape the pressures of fame.
Richard Madden and his ever-rising fan following
His role as Robb Stark ‘King of the North’ in Game of Thrones fetched him a huge fan following and many of these fans were females. Madden also had some steamy scenes with Keeley Hawes and this too added to the number of his followers. He had even shown his naked and toned bottom. Madden was also cast as Prince Charming in the big-budget film called Cinderella and this too boosted his image.
Richard also starred in a TV adaptation of Lady Chatterley’s Lover and this only increased the number of fans who adored him. His next role would be as music icon Elton John’s former love partner and manager John Reid. This will be in the musical film called Rocketman which people are eagerly waiting to be released.
He has become a heartthrob now and he does not like it. Madden just wants people to regard him for his acting. He said:
“I worry about it affecting my job. If people go, ‘Oh, you know, he’s that hunky thing’, that undermines that actually I am an actor.”
He wants people to look at his craft and appreciate his talent.
