Richard Madden on James Bond Rumors: 'I'm Very Flattered'

Richard Madden looks so handsome in the latest issue of British GQ!

Here’s what the 32-year-old Bodyguard star had to share with the mag…

On his last day on the Game of Thrones set: “I sobbed and sobbed on that Friday. I was hysterical actually. I was so exhausted. I cried all the way home.”

On being rumored as the next James Bond: “This is what happens with all these shows, like Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager. Then there’s the next one. I’m the next one. Everyone just loves the rumour mill on that topic. I’m just the current one. There’ll be a different one next week…All of which is pretty hard to argue with. But still, I say; nice to be mentioned all the same…I’m more than flattered to be menĀ­tioned, for people to consider putting me in that role. I’m very flattered and thankful. It’s a really brilliant thing to be in.”

On if he would accept the James Bond role: “I don’t want to curse anything by saying anything. I think that’s the curse of that. If you talk about it, you’ll curse it.”
