Madden's character was killed off during season 3 of the show, in one of the most-talked about episodes of the series, featuring the infamous Red Wedding.

The actor currently stars on \"Bodyguard,\" for which he earned a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series–Drama in 2019, and will star in the upcoming, highly anticipated Elton John biopic, \"Rocketman.\" But it's clear he still shares close bonds with his former \"Thrones\" co-stars

He also shared a sweet snap with actress Maisie Williams in October 2018, after seeing her appear in the play \"I and You\" in London.
