"50% of the actors in the mix for the part are openly gay"

The role is King Arthur in an upcoming film called "Arthur & Lancelot"...Joel Kinnaman has been cast as Lancelot. Four actors have tested for Arthur: Luke Evans, Toby Kebbell, Kit Harrington and Richard Madden.

Evans is gay (though the "openly" part is a source of much controversy); so which one of the other 3 is also openly gay?

Do we not know the other three?

Please be Richard Madden. I doubt the C4 series 'Sirens' made it to the US but it's worth downloading just to see Richard's nude(ish) scene. He's absolutely fucking gorgeous.

It's either Richard Madden or Kit Harington both currently in 'Game of Thrones'. Toby Kebbell has been reported as dating girls so definitely not openly gay.

It's not Madden. He just plays a gay character on Sirens.

I'm pretty sure Richard Madden has mentioned being straight while doing press for his gay character on "Sirens".

I don't believe Kit Harington has ever talked about his sexuality and I certainly don't have any trouble believing he is gay. Interesting quote by that article, good catch.

Kit Harington it is then. After googling him I found a report which says he answered no comment on being asked if he had a girlfriend. Looks like he is following Evans' lead.

Kit's "no comment" response to whether he has a girlfriend is strange. However, I think he's heterosexual after looking at an interview. I think Richard Madden might be gay.

Kit is supposedly dating the girl who plays Dany Targeryan on Games of Thrones.

It is Richard Madden that is rumored to be dating Emilia Clarke. Not Kit Harington.

The headline should continue...

"50% are openly gay and at least another 30% are also gay, but closeted."

Hurray for the percentage of out/open gays being equal to or higher than the percentage of closet dwellers.

If he answers "no comment", how is that considered "openly" gay? Wouldn't being open require that they are, ya know, open about being gay?

Kit was dating Anna Cyzon, an Idol contestant singer, so it's the other guy besides Madden.

Will "openly gay" ever not be controversial? Why is even to begin with. Makes no sense.

If nobody knows which of these actors is openly gay, than I guess they aren't very openly gay.

I am sure one of them is gay because the article wouldn't mention that for no reason but it seems obviously none of them are open about it.

Is this the movie Gary Oldman is in? I think he wants to be Merlin.

So which two is it? Also, studio is pushing back start date and will probably lose Kit because he has to film GOT.

The other three are all hot and talented actors. Wish we could figure out which one of them is gay.

50% of Hollywood actors in general, are Gay......so yeah

I think "openly" is different than "out." If they were publicly out someone here would know. If there openly gay they could have just never commented.

Exactly R20. Obviously the actor was open about their sexuality while meeting with people for the part, so the journalist referred to them as openly gay without realizing that don't speak about it publicly.

Still not that often that we have from a reputable source that an actor is gay. And like I said before, all three options(Toby Kebbell, Kit Harrington and Richard Madden) are attractive and talented.

I know Rich- and his girlfriend. He's straight.

Richard Madden has recently starting talking about his girlfriend Jenna-Louise Coleman, which I assume R22 is talking about.

Though I would love to hear more from the poster, big fan of "Rich" and it would nice to hear a perspective from someone who knows him.

Still wondering which one of them is gay, there is zero reason for the journalist to have made that up and all of them have denied it in some fashion, Tobey Kebbel has also had girlfriends and Kit has denied it. (Though to be fair Luke Evans even tried to have a "girlfriend")

Someone is lying!

Luke Evan is my future husband...just sayin'!

100% of those actors are people I've never heard of.

I never heard of these actors. Who are they?

I'm happy for Joel Kinnaman. He's a talented actor that's finally getting his big break in major Hollywood movie. It'd be a shame if he becomes so popular of a movie actor he'll leave The Killing. Kinnaman and the other lead actor are the only reasons to watch that dull show.

Have people not heard of google?

Kit Harrington and Richard Madden are both regulars on "Game Of Thrones"

Luke Evans was in "The Immortals", "Three Musketeers" and gonna be in the Hobbit.

Tobey Kebbell has been in RocknRolla, War Horse, Price of Persia etc.

None are big names but all are successful up and coming british actors. We know Luke Evans is gay and because of a journalists slip-up we know that one of the other ones is gay as well.

Isn't it completely unprofessional and douche-ish of a journalist to say something like this? "Two of these four people are gay! Can you guess who?" I feel bad for the other two guys who get lumped in because now they have this cast over their careers.

I thought this movie was put on the back burner. It was actually meant as a project for Kit Harington.

[quote]It'd be a shame if he becomes so popular of a movie actor he'll leave The Killing.

With the way The Killing's ratings are sinking, it's more likely that it will be canceled before he quits.

Richard Madden was linked to Emilia Clarke, who plays Danaerys on Game of Thrones, during the show's first season, bur they never appeared in public together.

Richard Madden wasn't gay in drama school.

Richard Madden acted very straight in drama school.

There's an article/thread here saying something similar about the guys in 'Twilight'.

I'm sure they'll cancel The Killing after this season. It's such a boring show. Nothing ever happens: the protagonist just becomes worse and worse as a mother; the murdered girl's family just sinks lower and lower; and the killer is never revealed. At least it's no longer raining every day in Seattle (as they showed it last season), but there's no point in watching it. It's the most depressing show on television, and one of the dullest.

I agree Kinnaman is fantastic though (as is Mireille Enos in the thankless job of the protagonist, his partner). I hope both of them leave this show and go on to do something better.

Kit Harrington is a Mama's boy.

[quote]I feel bad for the other two guys who get lumped in because now they have this cast over their careers.

Yes, it would be tragic if someone thought they were heterosexual.

I want to hear about Richard Madden's shenanigans in drama school. Are he and Jenna serious? Did he really steal her away from her actor boyfriend (who appeared on Game of Thrones)? Also want to know about Kit and Anna, and how he's a mama's boy. Spill please! Huge fan over here.

Richard Madden's first (or near first) professional gig involved dropping trou nightly in a Scandinavian play. I didn't see it, but I didn't hear any complaints either.

Count Kinnaman out as gay. Been steadily dating Olivia Munn the past 5 mos. In Sweden he had quite a reputation as a partier and ladies' man in his 20's, and generally more popular on swedish women's 'hot' lists than A. Skarsgard. Seems to be very well liked, and private and low key when in relationships though. Makes it clear he intends to have a family.

Brilliant actor, award-winning in Sweden. Hope he escapes The Killing soon.

r42, he's been cast as RoboCop in the remake.

Madden is dating the new (female) companion to Doctor Who - but does it really matter about their sexuality?

I was in a play once where 100% of the actors were gay. I think the same is true for most if not all actors in Hollywood. It should be: "50% of actors are honest; the other 50% are liars."

I went to drama school. Lots of gays on the musical theatre course. Not so may on the straight (no pun intended) acting course.

And the other 50% are completely sexless.

So Kit Harington is probably gay? Based on what this thread has found it it seems likely of the actors the journalist was talking about he is by far the most likely to be gay. Cool, good to know.

Having a girlfriend doesn't mean shit. Is bearding a completely foreign concept to you guys? LOL. Olivia Munn will fuck, or pretend to fuck, anyone who will make her more famous. Both Richard Madden and his Dr. Who girlfriend: she is not household names but soon will be, while he has A LOT of buzz due to Game of Thrones. The relationship is mutually beneficial for both. As for Kit Harington, when he was in Brazil promoting Game of Thrones, message boards were lit up with people who had seen various girls that he brought back to his hotel doing the walk of shame the next morning.

When I was in Drama in High School, it was pretty much 50/50.

Kit agreed to do nudity on GoT

When I signed my contract the first thing it had was a nudity clause which I had to say yes to. I was so happy getting the part, I just went “Yeah” and then later on when I saw what they’d done in the first season I was kinda like “Oh God, what did I just sign?

I hope they do get Kit naked this season. Its been ridiculous the amount of female nudity they have in relation to male. Even Richard Madden's sex scene they barely showed him.

Kit Harington has dated women- Including Rose Leslie, a Game of Thrones co-star.

However, any one of these men could be bisexual.

Still confused who the author of this blog was referring to.

This one will remain a mystery, I suppose. Luke Evans is Luke Evans. Kit Harington has been rumored to be on and off with former co-star Rose Leslie, but who knows with him. He has a policy that he will not discuss his romantic life. Richard Madden is still going strong with Jenna Coleman. Toby Kebbel, I know nothing about. Richard Madden did discuss in a Nerdist podcast going nude on stage and described that as easier than writing.

Kit Harington has been rumore to be on and off with former co-star Rose Leslie, but jnly for several month. They have been wore than Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together. No pda, no hugs, distance between them have been one metre in every date. No chemistry. And Rose the only gf he ever has. Even if he has a policy not dscuss his romantic there is no way he could hide a gf. He is parting a lot, a lot of people are tweeting about it, and everytime he is with guys - Richard Madden, Ben Barnes, Alfin Alle and others. And for Pompei premiere he took Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. And there are a lot oaf hugs with guys

"They have been wore than Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together." wore mean worse

All male actors are gay or bisexual, it's commom knowledge

Mincing prisspots, all of them!

I'll be heartbroken if Kit hasn't gotten those lips of his on a cock at least once

He named Madden as his mancrush

Saw him in TESTAMENT OF YOUTH and he was stunning, that was unepected. He can act, never knew it

r61 Glad to hear he did well in that movie. His acting has been underwhelming on GoT.

Saw Kit in theatre and he was good there. Have no idea what happend with him in Game of Thrones, his acting in season 1,2,3 wasnt't good

And i can say Kit is short, really short :))

It amazes me, a gay person, to read so many posts that equate having a gf or being married, as being BONIFIED straight! If they were to go into any gay bar, they would find more men who identify as being gay were once married, engaged or had some sexual experience with a female sometime in their lives to be, in the majority (not twinks-I'm speaking of guys 30 or over). (From my own experience, I tricked with a guy who was in his 40tees, who received a call from his wife at 2 in the morning (in our motel room--a visiting business man) and told her how much he missed her, blah, blah just after having had wild sex with me.! (BTW; he was only staying in the relationship until his kids graduated from high school- or so he said.)But I guess, those who are str8 like to believe that a guy who has a female in his life is automatically str8! Well, believe until the day he comes crawling out of his 'closet' and then you might shed a tear over his denounment!

Wow, amazing to think that all these actors were unknown in 2012.

I assume it is the two least attractive so that includes Luke Evans.

Been 6 years since the OP, and the only one of these who is openly gay is still Luke Evans.

So this porn scene has a guy that looks EXACTLY like one of those game-of-thrones actors...

What film is that R69? Haha 69.

R64 - Considering the article the OP is referring to talks about the actors being OPENLY gay, surely them publicly "dating" women (bearding arrangement or real) would disqualify them from being openly gay. No?

R66 What is the deal with Douglas Booth?

It's the Canadian. It's always the Canadian.

Huh? A King Arthur movie just flopped massively.

Is the reason the movie never got made because there were too many gays cast?

R74 - This post is from 2011.

A gay King Arthur? It's been done before.

The author of the article was referring to Richard Madden, who is a huge queen. He plays it down for the cameras but every once again he "slips up". Check out his Cinderella red carpet interviews.

So Kit must still be in the closet pretending to claw his way out then.

R78, what do you say to the folks in the thread who claim to have known Madden in college and him and his girlfriend at the time and say he’s straight?

This article is old and honestly besides Luke Evans, none of these other guys are openly gay.

Madden has gayface bigtime!

There are gay men that have dated, married, and fathered children by straight women so I take any posts of Madden being straight with a grain of salt. Madden had a girlfriend in the same way Evans had a "girlfriend". The only difference is that Evans has come out of the closet.

There's pictures of Kit Harrington with an old girlfriend when he wasn't famous, there's none of Richard Madden before Jenna Coleman, who he began dating at around the same time Game of Thrones started. And there are more clues.

Well, my lord Bran will be most displeased. Haven’t we had enough rehashes of this boring saga by now? It’s just a somnolent trashy story about an underling bodyguard who fucks his boss’s wife.

Fuck all that Arthuriana noise tbh, it’s all just silly arcana meant to suppress & obscure the true Gods.

Threads from 2011 = unintended consequence of resetting everyone's visit record. Or not unintended? But why?

R86 I don't know what are you talking about, I came here because I wanted to discuss Madden's gayness.

You couldn't have started a new thread, r87? One that used "Richard Madden" and "gay" in the headline, perhaps?

I remember reading an article about Richard Madden where he mentioned crying on the flight home after his Game of Thrones part ended. I can understand the anxiety of losing a VERY big gig, but it just screamed GAY. Every since I have always wondered about him. He is an actor so their is a chance that he is just very in-tune to his emotional side, but IDK.

R89, he literally went from filming the Red Wedding to a flight. My understanding is that it was super emotional to film for cast and crew. I don’t know that I’d use that example to say a guy is gay. People in this thread (from years ago) claim to know him and say he's straight. Not saying he is or isn’t, I don’t know the guy. I need more concrete evidence then what’s being offered here. The lack of a known gf before 2011 could just mean no one was checking for him then. But if people have gossip, share please

R90 anyone can come here and claim they know him and say he's straight (or gay or whatever) that's pure fanfiction. *Waits for gossip too*

Another King Arthur movie???

What are they thinking!

The most recent King Arthur movie was a massive flop!

How will this be any different? Hip-hop songs?

Is LMM involved? (Probably wants to star too!)

R72 There have been rumors about Douglas Booth for awhile despite him dating actresses. There are several people who have posted on other threads that Booth and Australian Born actor Sam Reid who worked together in the Riot Club were an item several years back (they were seen out everywhere for a number of months).

R78 The video won't play for me, what does Madden do or say in this video that makes him seem gay? I've never heard any rumors or blind items about Richard Madden.

R94 He fucking FLAMES in that video, imagine Taylor Launtner

R95 I don’t see it in that video, he seems more awkward and distracted ((shrugs)).

R95 He's not flaming he's just Scottish. When I was living in Edinburgh for University I found men in the UK acted more effeminate than in America.

R97 I've lived in Europe, and for me it's more than he's just European, he pings.

He didn't come off as flaming for me either. I also go the "not gay just British" vibe from him. When I'm in London visiting family, I often feel like i have to adjust my gaydar because the hyper-masculine ideal that exists in America doesn't exist to the same extent in the UK.

Follow this thread, as this person claims to have interesting tea on Mr. Harrington. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know...

I've just watched r78's video and it's the gayest shit ever. Hot damn! It hurts my heart to know he's been artificially butching it up from then on, probably after receiving some feedback from his agent. I've never been much attracted to him but seeing him be all relaxed and femmy like that has definitely perked up my interest.

R101 he's been artificially butching it up

like Tom Hardy it's sad really

I think Tom was quoted in some gossip blog stating he was, in his youth,experimenting ? with guys, but now he is into women;, but does enjoy the fashion sense of gay men! (In another column he was supposedly doing the red carpet thing promoting one of his films, in London, with some male actor, and 'doing the town' with him, this, after he disavowed he was into guys?

Bumping for the Richard Maddenn gay gossip and clips, since he seemed about to come out in his Golden Globes speech but choked.

Is there video of his speech, R105? I must've missed it.

This thread is SEVEN YEARS OLD

The gossip is timeless r105.

did they even make the film?

Oh I would LOVE it to be Richard Madden!! Can someone please link to a video of his speech tonight?

I have watched the Cinderella video and I can see why people are saying what they are on this thread.

I don’t see “about to come out but choked” in that speech...

Yeah, it just sounds like he wasn't prepared to give a speech.

I didn’t see that in his speech either. There is a poster on the Kit Harington Russian chick thread that claims to have had an friends with benefits situation with Madden and the poster says she’s female.

[quote]Bumping for the Richard Maddenn gay gossip and clips, since he seemed about to come out in his Golden Globes speech but choked.

So it was richard madden after all, right?

A mystery from over 8 years ago finally solved r118.

No he didn't R105 and yes there is R106.

R117 DAMN! You were right. I need to watch the video.

That interview for "Klondike" above is hilarious--he is so queeny, from the clothes to the voice to the handgestures. He escaped everybody's gaydar when this thread were first posted because Robb Stark was so butch.

I'd rather see a vid of Joel Kinnaman being railed by those four dudes tbh
