Richard Madden and boyfriend Brandon Flynn Part 18

Previous thread.

Lol

I love seeing the trolls get slapped in the face with every new pic.

R2 lmfaoooo, that lil smirk!!

R2 I think Brandon has graduated from fuck buddy... Wonder who's footing the bill for all this?

Richard stashes all his cash in a bank in France so they’re just going to pick up his half of the rent... their landlord is getting pissed!!!

Madden is busy scrolling through DL to see what we are saying about them.

People don't tend to invite "newbies" to spend New Year's with them in another country, while introducing them to family to boot. It would not surprise me if these two were acquainted before following each other on social media.

And Sam Smith probably knows everyone who's "family" in UK showbiz circles. Brandon could have a mental list of men he intends to bewitch.

As I was saying in the previous thread, in early November Richard started to follow Sam so he was probably spying on him to see if Brandon was free than he started to follow Brandon, maybe at the end of November they saw each other again and hooked up, I think it was love at first sight but he was Richard that pursued him, maybe they started to talk over the phone and they clicked immediately!

The pic of Brandon with a big grin needs to become a meme.

Another interesting thing in terms of timing of when their relationship started is when Brandon stopped low key flirting with people in Insta. He would comment on some people’s post with flirty comments and emojis and then it just stopped. I suspect he got Madden and never looked at anyone else.

Madden is probably going to pay his half of the rent in euros just to troll.

Brandon was in London in June/July of 2018...was he still with Sam then? Ive always thought Richard and Sam knew each first as friends. Sam is friends with Douglas Booth. Maybe R and B met before anyone is even thinking?

Wikipedia is never a reliable source. Maybe Madden is dating an opera singer in that page, but i remember watching an british actor page and he was dating a female costar on the spanish version and he was openly gay in the english version.

It's pretty clear that Madden couldn't care less, he is not hiding at all

We’re bound to get pics of the lovebirds in Monaco, right? Anyway regarding when the two met I think their relationship has been going on a lot longer than the SM follows. I could be wrong but for it to be so serious it’s been going on a while...maybe

Wasn't it widely covered that Sam and Brandon broke up summer 2018? Maybe Richard followed Sam to clear the air. The Chateau Marmont pic with Gemma Chan is from November 2018, right?

They were obviously already dating at the time of the #blessed Instagram photo. Its been going for a while.

Remember when both Richard and Brandon were not active on social media for about a week? I wonder if they traveled somewhere?

R15 Likely we will get pics at the GP events especially if some company is footing the bill. Madden has to show up and will bring Brandon.

R16 that’s not Gemma but yes, early nov. the Gemma pic is with the dog in Jan/feb

R17 then why go on vacation with Ellie? An elaborate scheme? Early November does make sense though since he brought B to Scotland in January. That’s very soon if they had just started “dating” a few weeks prior (December).

A love affair for the ages.

I think Richard and Ellie were falling apart, he met Brandon, and that was that. Vacation was probably already planned or a last ditch effort to see if he could make it work.

R13 so when did the matching necklace appear? Was it as late as Jan 2019? Is this the same one from August 2018?

I don't pretend to know what was the deal with his relationship or "relationship" r20, all I know was that was definitely a picture of two guys who were fucking

Oh shit, I meant Asis Chow. I swear I'm not a racist!

Richard updated a insta story on November 16th when he went to LA:I saw the northern lights during the flight and my mind is blown.Couldn’t stop smiling. I am a very lucky man.So what do you think?

Do we have photographic evidence of the November vacation with Ellie?

R14 I was the one who made the Wiki comment in the previous thread. That was meant to be a joke. Obviously some desperate fangirl edited the page (easy to tell because there was no source cited). It got deleted pretty quickly.

R26 I think SOMETHING got blown, for sure. :D

R26 he certainly sounded very very happy. My guess it was Brandon related. Is there a screenshot of that anywhere?

R27 not photographed together but they posted separate but similar beach photos. They went to Dubai not Ibiza as there was a Twitter comment from someone who was on his flight.

r27 They both posted pictures on their IG on the same day on a beach, and it's in the GQ article that when the interviewer followed up with Richard said they were going on a beach vacation.

R26 Maybe that was their first time together. It seems like he fell pretty hard and fast for Brandon.

SS and BF broke up in june

Here’s Ellie’s and Richard’s is the spf 50 selfie one that B commented with the thermometers.

R just storied from the GP and when he turned the camera back to himself I thought for sure B was going to be standing next to him lol

When was the Carpool Karaoke with Taron filmed? Sorry off topic

R33 yes, Madden is going so hard for Brandon. Brandon seems lovely so it’s likely been a really wonderful experience for Madden.

R36 October

Desperate Fangurls:

Oh, they are just roommates in LA to save money...

Oh, they are just really good friends who happened to be in NYC at the same time...

Oh, Richard left for France leaving Brandon behind...

Oh, shit! They are fucking!

You cunts were getting depressed not long ago and suspected that Richard was being a coward because they haven’t been papped together in awhile. Now we got pics of hotel and arriving at the airport and you’re still greedy wanting Brandon to show up at the movie premiere in NYC lol. Seriously, you fraus are hard to please. Give Richard a fucking break. DLers will singlehandedly cause their breakup with all this pressure and demands.

Photobombing TV broafcasts.

Look how happy Richard is in the instastory. He’s in his element being so close to the cars (and he’s having amazing sex).

Sam Smith once said brandon “wonderful “on last September.

r40 Yes, DLers who neither are aware of are going to break them up.

R40 Lighten up. I was speculating that Brandon might be at the NYC premier since he's in Monaco with Richard now and it makes sense that they would take the same flight back, so he might as well stick around for the premier. I'm certainly not DEMANDING that he be there. Actually I'm pretty happy with how this is all slowly unfolding.

R40 You do know Richard doesn't read what we are discussing nor would he give a shit about our "pressure and demands".

The timing of Richard & Ellie’s breakup and when Brandon came into the picture is suspect. Even if Richard didn’t cheat on Ellie physically, he did emotionally by being head over heels for Brandon from their first meeting and then proceeded to make a move on Brandon with all this stalking WHILE he was still with Ellie.

R47 Hot.

[Quote]DLers who neither are aware

You are delusional if you think they aren't aware of here. Not saying they are actually hanging out here but the internet is not a secret, in the era of Google alerts I don't know why people think celebs are clueless about what's being said.

DL's self referentiality can be tiresome. The amount of time wasted in threads over which side of "DL ain't shit" you fall... put a sock in it.

That timeline that I've seen on multiple sites originated on DL. Jus' sayin'

R47 Pretty much. And yet, weirdly, I think it's romantic. Maybe because Richard is clearly in love with Brandon and wasn't just using him for sex.

Who cares if they know about DL? A vast majority of us are cheering them on and being positive about this while also recognizing the inherent challenges. These threads have been nice tbh.

Good, but Richard no longer wears white sneakers ... who asked Brandon?

I don't know that I'd say it's weirdly romantic. Vacation with Ellie in the same month? I can't help but think of what the poster in the last thread said about geminis (and I don't follow the zodiac).

R54 Thanks so much for making him ditch the white sneakers, Brandon!

Honestly, I do think Brandon has lurked here a few times. I keep going back to him posting that unicorn emoji on Richard's Instagram a mere couple of hours after people in here were wondering why Brandon never comments on Richard's posts anymore.

R55 Relationships are messy and most end. It’s hardly ever this perfect sequence of events some people expect. We also don’t know enough to insinuate that anyone was wronged.

Still, it's messy to allow social posts with "lucky" and "blessed" to go up, and stay up, in the same month that you split from someone else. It's just not cricket.

R57 Yeah, I very much agree with the fact that we don’t know enough to say. I get the curiosity over the timeline and when they began but I’m not comfortable going around saying for sure anyone had an affair without having facts to back that up, rather than guesses.

R28 I loved your opera singer comment 😂

R58 lots of assumptions there. The truth could easily be totally different and likely is.

Where's the guesd, though? #blessed and Dubai were in the same month, were they not?

Richard's face at the end of his car racing Instagram Story.

[Quote] The truth could easily be totally different

Such as?

Here we are assuming that Richard went to France alone because the original airport photos only showed him alone because Brandon was cropped out. Now that we got proof Brandon is with his man, Richard’s PR team must be working overtime!

Brandon wasn't cropped out. He'd walked ahead.

I said that Richard and Brandon were together yesterday, they were liking on ig at the same time so I said that they were in France together, I think is very sweet and romantic, Richard looks really happy and Brandon was smug in those airport pics lol I bet they are having amazing sex!

R58 But you are assuming those 2 posts somehow mean that Richard was fully dating his ex and Brandon at the same time. You don’t know when things ended with his ex and became real with Brandon. You also don’t know the nature of Dubai trip or the actual status of their relationship or lack thereof. It’s a leap to take those 2 things and draw any meaningful conclusion about Richard being a cheater.

R67, there were rumours about R being unfaithful during his relationship with JC, so the idea that he steps out isn't unique to his relationship with E.

Richard and Brandon are so cute and make a really loving couple and family. I hope they can get home to Charlie soon.

Wait what? Richard and Brandon are in Monaco together?

So, the Dubai trip with Ellie might have been friends vacationing together? R&B were just hanging out and Asia Chow predicted their romantic relationship (oh, and Brandon felt confident enough to reply "blessed" when he and Richard were still just friends)?

It's not realistic.

I don't know why this makes me laugh so hard.

People need to STOP giving Richard such a hard time about not holding Brandon's hand etc. A lot of famous straight couples don't hold hands in public either.

Well Richard is a Gemini..anyone here dated a Gemini.....you know what they are like right? lol

Astrology is horseshit.

R71 My point is that you only have a tiny, tiny glimpse on social media. Anyway, everyone believes what they want.

R68 rumors...

Brandon looks so hot at R23 but I think he might have put on some weight since then! He's got comfy around Richard and they're staying in and cooking big meals for each other.

A lot of relationships have cross overs between the end of one and the start of another. This is probably what happened here.

I don't think the woman in the other thread lied about sleeping with Richard, she did say she wasn’t sure if he was bi at the time. And obviously he is bi, Brandon is his first semi public relationship with a man ( I say semi public, since the two of them are keeping it quiet)

r70 yes, they are. Richard is at the F1 race. Brandon has not been spotted there yet (but I would be shocked if he’s not at the race).

r71, Ellie and Richard were still a couple at that the time of that trip.

R70 where have you been? Someone did some digging and found photos of Brandon and Richard arriving in France together. Richard PR’s team had Brandon cropped out of the pics. Unfortunately for them, ya can’t really scrub everything from the Internet.

Ellie sings (badly). Imagine if Sam Smith recruited her for a feature on his next album!

R80 Richard's PR team got on the image site and cropped the photo that was posted there? How, pray tell, did they do that?

R81 Unfortunately for her, I think she "annoyed the boy" too much.

Exactly, R82. My guess is the press (cluelessly) had no idea Brandon was "in the picture" or deliberately presumed he was not supposed to be.

PR teams have limited powers to suppress pictures. That's why we have pics of celebs cheating, arguing, doing drugs, being arrested.

Oh god, she sounds like every other female wannabe indie singer @ r81. I don't think she's a particularly good actress but I'd take her acting any day over her singing.

The onlys pics Brandon was cropped out of were the "grabbing dinner in NY" pics. Not any of the Nice airport pics.

I can’t stop laughing about the concept of Richard taking his “roommate” to France. Kind of a fearless move on their part.

Just catching up. So two sets of pics, NYC and Nice, in the last few days!

Three sets.

1) Grabbing dinner in New York.

2) Leaving hotel in New York (to fly to Nice.

3) Arriving in Nice airport.

Gossip world is fragemented. DL is not in the same category as DailyMail, that covers the widest general audience, UK predominantly. I am curious to see how they will handle the new set of pics. Will they keep ignoring Brandon's presence and why?

Also what R13 said cross my mind lately. Did Brandon go to UK parties while he was dating the singer Smith?

R81 I don’t mind Ellie, but sorry doll that made my ears bleed

R90 #blessed

And people thought we were going to have another dry spell after nyc

R88 well except nobody's talking about it so they don't have to awkwardly trip over themselves to explain why Richard's roommate is with him in France.

R90, thank you! Things are definitely serious between them, then.

The race is over so time for some party pics!!!!! I hope.

I knew it was serious when they started living together. Did Richard live with any of his old girlfriends?

So apparently Dominic Cooper has started to follow Richard and Brandon when he was on vacation at the Maldives with Gemma Chan

R77 They’ve been smoking weed, eating and fucking for months before Richard’s promo tours. They must have been really happy in their little bubble. R has slimmed down a bit and so will Brandon when he starts prepping for 13rw.

Brandon didn't look remotely chunky in that little shirt when they were "grabbing dinner" in NYC.

R100 Prepping for what? I thought 13RW is already filmed.

R98, he and Jenna lived together. When they broke up, he ended up sharing a flat with friends until he purchased his house.

R99 he's known Richard a while

Oh you’re right, For some reason I got my wires crossed and thought AHS had already filmed instead. But maybe that’s another reason he filled out a bit (though I don’t think he’s chunky or fat): playing a high school kid addicted to heroin must have meant he had to diet to stay skinny.

Maybe Richard wants Brandon’s ass to be a bit more plump.

R87 Yeah looking closer at the airport pics it looks like they were taken when everyone was de-boarding & Brandon was walking way ahead & probably managed to blend into the crowd

Is Brandon supposed to be on AHS or was that a rumor? I remember hearing about it but I don't remember if it was confirmed.

R108 He’s confirmed to be on it.

R108 that was just a rumor. Don't know where it originated from

I thought Emma Roberts and Gus Kenworthy (yuck) were the only confirmed actors to be on AHS so far.

AHS is sort of over. I hope he gets a better gig.

Richard started to follow Brandon before his vacation with Ellie. And Brandon also already made that instagram comment when Richard was still with Ellie. Noone breaks up with a girlfriend, starts dating another guy but then goes on a vacation with said girlfriend. What do you mean with "nature of the Dubai trip"? It was a couple vacation. Richard and Ellie went to Dubai as a couple and split sometime after the trip. Most likely because of Brandon. and Richard already had cheating rumours when his last relationship before Ellie ended it's not unlikely that cheating was the reason for the end of his relationship with Ellie as well. Especially because we know that he had met Brandon before the vacation and with all the other hints.

I agree r112, the last good season was Coven and that was long ago lol. I only liked the first three seasons.

Weibo has the set from the airport.

[quote]Yeah looking closer at the airport pics it looks like they were taken when everyone was de-boarding & Brandon was walking way ahead & probably managed to blend into the crowd

Would everything think that those photos look like a normal couple? Normally couples and close friends walk next to each other when de-boarding because they obviously set together and also talk with each other while walking. But Brandon put some distance between them just to make possible photos of them less couply.

How do they always manage not to only post the whole set but post it in HQ too?

R117 Maybe they have access through their job or something...

Brandon has really expressive and beautiful eyes and that smile! He's sweet no wonder Richard fell for him!

R177 LMAO @ that smug on Brandon’s face. Either he got a good dicking from Richard in the flight’s bathroom or he was happy to see the paps and wanted to show off his man.

He's just happy...

LOL at the black dude side eyeing Brandon in the first pic. He must have expected Richard alone.

R120 Oh stop with this "smug" nonsense. The guy was running to his car from the hotel in NY trying not to get seen. I don't think he's at all happy about being papped.

R121 It looks like he was talking to someone maybe the paps? I think he's smug because he's getting the dick and he's showing at the face of those homophobic stans

R115 now that weibo has them they'll probably circulate a bit

Straight couples walk apart in a lot of pap pics but no one is demanding they hold hands. No one wants to perform for the paps unless you are a d lister which these two are not. Trolls always being miserable even after they got all the confirmation they need that these two are fucking their way around the world and don’t need anyone’s approval.

R126 We need a sex tape to confirm that they’re together. Otherwise, Richard probably didn’t pay his rent so Brandon chased after him in France to get that rent money. Living in LA ain’t cheap.

R121 How do you look that photogenic and refreshed after what... 8 hours on a plane? They flew first class I bet.

R128 He probably got a facial on the plane.

R128 first class comfort and love will make anyone glow. Brandon looks hot in those pics and he knows it.

R127 Richard has money for their hotel and plane tickets (yes, as the older man Richard must be the one paying in this relationship. I refuse to contemplate otherwise.) but not the rent...

The pop shots need to include face. Otherwise it doesn't count.

To the fans who are still complaining that Richard's people are trying to suppress all the evidence:

Have you not noticed that every single time they get papped together, more and more people on the interwebz are saying, "OMG! Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn are dating!" Or, "OMG! Richard Madden is gay?!?!?" (or bi ... regardless, he's not straight). I really think it's too late to close that barn door, and I think Richard's people know it, too. They might try to divert attention away from it so that people focus on Richard's work and not his love life, but at this point I doubt there is some massive coverup in the works.

Actually, the commentary is getting less and less.

R131 I noticed Richard is starting to get a little gray at the temples now. Do you think Brandon calls him Daddy when they're in bed together?

R134 You must not be on Twitter.

R127 I was sort of hoping that during that time before GoT when Richard was out of work and having trouble paying bills, he got desperate enough to do porn. Oh, well. :-/

I can see on Twitter. That branchard_love account has posts getting a dozen likes, one or two replies, a few retweets. It's not blowing up.

R126 "Fucking Their Way Around the World" with Brandon and Richard: Can we make this a reality TV show?

comments...

No. That makes them sound like prostatutes.

R138 I'm talking about the commentary about Brandon and/or Richard in general, not specific fan accounts.

Some of you won’t be satisfied until he’s majorly outed.

I actually hope it doesn’t blow up and that people just accept it. Maybe that is the PR strategy; just let people get used to seeing them together and so there is no big moment or Madden getting caught skulking and hiding the relationship. It’s a smart move if deliberate.

r138 It's not going to blow up because not that many people care about either of them. It got a lot of traction that one day because verified accounts and gay twitter were talking about it. Some random no name account with 58 followers isn't going to make waves. You're only going to search either of their names if you care.

They’re just hotelmates. He brought Brandon with him to pay half of the hotel because NY and Monaco are expensive. It’s nothing more you heathens!

R140 Translation? I don't speak the language.

R142, so am I. 139 comments on that Hong Kong daily account. It's not much.

R145 it would be amazing is it’s not seen as a big deal. That they are seen together, supporting each other and dating without the world sensationalizing it.

R145 people definitely do care about Richard, idk what you're talking about

r150 Not enough to make waves like people imply here. Half the people that tweet about him are Taron/Richard shippers so they aren't going to bother with Brandon news. It ruins their fantasy.

Awareness is definitely split. Some people are totally up on it and then others think B is still with Sam. Then there are the people that think R is single or still with Jenna even. Of course there are the frau stans that have now just decided to ignore it. Twitter is definitely more “aware” than IG.

Does anyone know how many tats Brandon has and what they mean? Just curious.

Richard's stans, the ones that truly care about him, will never comment anything on social media to protect him. They feel that all this talk is outing him. And I agree, that shouldn't happen to anyone.

They mean he has quedtionable taste.

R154, that may be well intentioned. But it upholds the closet.

R144 well as long as they're referred to as pals or roommates by the media & the photos continue to be ambiguous then there won't be anything. As it is right now it is sort of playing both sides of the fence. People who are paying attention can see that there's more than just friendship here but for the general public & RM's fangirls who don't wanna accept he's not straight there's no solid evidence. I mean I saw a comment on one of the articles where the person said they traveled around the world with their platonic roommate

with every new pic of them their shippers are rising especially in twitter..at first some thought that was a one time only but then Ny happened and now monaco

Their shippers will never rival the gals squeeing over the Taron/Richard. It's a numbers game.

R157 It's good strategy to be ambiguous to let the fangurls adjust. Most of them will come to the conclusion that if Brandon makes Richard happy, they are okay with it. Only the most religious or delusional would continue to have a problem.

R154 "The ones who truly care about him"? Like the ones who call him "dumb" for associating with Brandon?

I'm a longtime Richard fan (I didn't even know who Brandon was until I saw the pic in February of Richard walking Brandon's dog and I googled Brandon) and I, too, had concerns about outing him. But if he were truly closeted, he wouldn't even risk being seen in public with Brandon. With each new public outing, so to speak, it becomes more obvious that they're dating.

r144 r160 I agree.

I suspect that's the way it's going to be done from now though there still a lot of 'feeling the way' going on as it's new territory for agents and publicists. Information and photos trickled out until it becomes generally just 'known'. with no announcements made until it's felt the appropriate amount of softening up has been done - then maybe an announcement, or maybe not. Sites like Datalounge play their part with threads like this

It sort of worked in that way for Garrett Clayton. We're perhaps seeing it done with Connor Jessup and Miles Heizer. Maybe even Julian Morris

do you remember the guy who posted a pic with brandon at the met gala well he tweeted that brandon checked his stories on insta and that made him sure that these two are together

R159 Once promotion for Rocketman is over, there will be no Taron/Richard material for them to squee over. Not like they live together or anything.... ;D

I don't think the rationale is that the fangirls will come round, it's DADT to facilitate their delusion. Kind of how str8 male celebs may avoid posting their girlfriends on Twitter. Don't confirm anything and the fangirls can remain wilfully ignorant.

Surely you mean a pic with Richard at the Met Gala.

R162 I actually don’t like how Julian Morris has handled his relationship. He’s gone to great lengths to not reveal his BF to the public. Unless you know of him, you can’t tell he’s gay or has a long term BF. Madden is going beyond that by far even in such a short time. He seems to be very clearly showing the public that Brandon is close to him. He’s not doing the whole “keeping things private” thing and his actions are pretty bold. I hope he continues

R163 R166 The pic was a fan photo with Richard at Cannes, but yes, that was pretty funny. There is no way in hell a platonic friend is on Instagram looking up mentions of his "pal" and "roomie."

R164, they'll move on to someone from 2017, then The Marvels. They might evem concoct that Madden is helping Angie heal from Brad (actually, watch out for Angie, Brandon).

R164 Exactly, that relationship is pure fantasy. It’s never gonna happen.

Here are ALL the pics from airport

sorry*

people always get hyped when the movie is released like what happened with chalamet and hammer and they were more intresting than richard and taron so im not actually worried and just wait till 13 rw starts all the attention will be on brandon and he has a big fan base

Morris is a different situation. Though, he's pictured with his boyfriend all the time, there's no name value to "Landon Ross".

Too bad Richard's stan has her tw private now, I wanted to know what she thought of Brandon and Richard together in the same hotel and in France lol How can you say that he's dumb just because he's in love with Brandon? I mean it's obvious that Richard wants to spend time with him and he doesn't give a damn about what they think or want lol they wanted Richard to unfollow Brandon lol

That playlist ("Only You" etc.) shows that Brandon is a "lay it all on the table" kind of guy. He's probably gives it all in the bedroom too.

R174 but after all these years never a mention in an interview of being gay or having a bf and never a red carpet or intimate sighting. It’s an effort to hide. I’m not even sure how he has benefited.

Richard is happy!

R175 She's convinced that she's smarter than Richard and that she knows what's best for him. It's so ridiculously insulting and condescending. He probably doesn't pay attention to fan accounts, but if he does, I hope he's aware of what a two-faced backstabber she is.

I wish someone takes a pic of Brandon too, where is he ?

i really believe that richard is head over heels over brandon the man was never seen with any rumoured guy was always with girls and he just got out of a relationship ..he is not a kid he is obviously a smart guy and to actually follow his heart and chose to be seen with a guy despite everything does show how much brandon means to him and he means a LOT he doesnt need to hold his hand or kiss him in public to prove that even straight couple dont go around smooching in the streets so i think for now the man dorsnt give a fuck about what others think he wants brandon with him and he will fo everything to keep him

She can't be a backstabber when she has no trust to betray.

R182 True, but she was (at least at first) acting all sweet and innocent on her Instagram account. Then she was going on Twitter and saying all those shit things about Brandon. But I think some of that shit talk has leaked over onto her Instagram now because she just can't help herself. I hope she chokes on her bile.

[Quote] he will do everything to keep him

I don't know about all that. They're clearly in the smitten phase but beyond that, it's way too early to tell.

R180 I doubt Brandon went to the grand prix. I think someone would've seen him. Maybe he decided to stay at the hotel

Personally, I don't trust anyone who's a stan. They're not interested in people, only idols.

R185 he could be hanging out in the VIP lounges. There are so many parties events going on. Can’t wait for pics!

R185 We've only seen like 3 pictures of Richard. I don't think it's possible to tell if he's there or not.

i pray for a picture where brandon is wearing a white shirt with his hand around richard and i will never ask for more !!

I'm in love with this face lol

R187 Yeah, Brandon is probably there somewhere but didn't go down to the tracks.

Is that THE necklace?

R180 and R185 Maybe they have private party boxed seating or something. Richard appears to be there in a professional capacity so I don't expect Brandon to be right at his side every minute. But if he's not at the event, I'm sure he's found something to do. It's not like he's just sitting in the hotel room moping around and pining for Richard.

he was smiling wearing his necklace his face was literally radiating ..richard is doing amazing job obviously lol

these two roommates sure are frugal!

R195 Right? They probably shower together too, to conserve water.

These two roommates have a rule that they have to be roommates around the globe. It’s in the lease agreement

[quote] I actually don’t like how Julian Morris has handled his relationship. He’s gone to great lengths to not reveal his BF to the public.

The only difference is that Julian doesn't get papped anyway so there aren't photos of him and his bf. He doesn't call the paps. But other than that he's actually much more open about Landon than Richard and Brandon are. Julian and Landon post photos of each other on instagram and are always seen attending events together.

Let's be honest, Julian isn't even b-list.

R198 Only if you know. The general public have no idea because where it is actually public he has never even acknowledged being gay. He isn’t out publicly and that is a choice he has made. Nothing to do with paps or media or not being a list.

R197 lol 😂😂😂

R200 But it's the same with Richard and Brandon? Richard has never acknowledged being gay or bi in public. And the general public still thinks that Brandon is only a roommate and nothing else. They don't show up on each others instagrams, Brandon even deleted that one photo with Richard on his instagram. They don't show up together other than in pap pics. Whereas Julian and Landon can be seen on each other's public instagram accounts and in their instagram stories pretty often. From one looks it's clear that they spent a lot of time together and always travel together. If you look them up Julian and Landon are far more obvious a couple than Brandon and Richard.

The podcast I’m listening to just brought up the backlash Taron’s received over gay-baiting.

R190 I'm assuming this is his first trip to Monaco. He's probably riding high on the excitement of staying in a romantic and glamorous country with his boo. That, and he's thinking about how the haters can suck it.

r202 forget about Julian’s Instagram, I’m talking generally about him being out publicly and acknowledging his BF over the 10+ years they have been together. Surely there have been opportunities to naturally bring these things up in media and interviews etc. I like Julian a lot btw. Wish he represented more.

R204 the haters can’t suck it. he is already doing that and very well thank you.

I don't think he gets asked about a relationship in interviews. And you claimed that Richard was much more open about his relationship than Julian. That's simply not true. Richard hasn't acknowledged Brandon in one of the many interviews he has given (and he has given a hundred times more interviews than Julian who is much less known), he hasn't confirmed that he's out publicly. So he's surely not more open than Julian in interviews although he does many interviews while Julian perhaps does interviews once or twice a year. But Julian is much more open on his public social media and everyone can look at his public social media. There you see plenty of photos, videos or referrences to Landon, the total opposite of Brandon and Richard.

R207 I don't follow Julian, I have no idea what he's like. But Richard isn't a particularly open person in general in interviews or on social media. If you're looking to him for that you won't get it.

R207 Richard has been more public in 5 months than Julian in more than 10 years. Julian is doing the whole “my private life is private” which is the default glass closet approach. It’s weak. Maybe it’s unfair to compare the two but I’m not going to act like Julian has been an openly gay actor all these years.

Who the fuck is this Julian person everyone is talking about?

R210 glass closet actor.

Not true. Julian poses with Landon all the time at events. It tends to be art events but they are public events nonetheless, with press pictures. They are in a million insta stories together.

Why are people so determinedly comparing this Julian guy to Richard?

Just googled to see who this Julian guy you keep mentioning is... I'm English and I've never even heard of him so obviously Richard who is a famous (and award winning) actor will have to approach publicity differently...

R213 Because they need something else to bitch about. This will continue until we get pics of Richard french kissing Brandon in public.

Being open with qho tou are dating is not being in a closet. You don't need to shout it from the rooftops, but just get on with your life. Most actors dislike talking about their private life. Only when they actively deny their sexuality and beard there is a problem.

R203 So I wasn’t the only one who was annoyed by that

[quote]Why are people so determinedly comparing this Julian guy to Richard?

Because one person brought it up and claimed that Julian ,who has been showing his boyfriend on his social media constantly and has openly attended many events with him, is less open about his relationship than Richard. I don't know why people even want to compare those two. Julian is a D-lister who hardly gives interviews and never gets papped.

R217 a lot of gays on Twitter found it annoying

Back to the topic on hand then.

R218 Right. Well, I don't know anything about Julian, and must admit I don't care about Julian, so I really don't care about how open or not open he is. Hope he's happy. But did someone on here say he's been with his boyfriend for years or something? Richard has been with Brandon for a few months! I don't know how you would even compare the two situations! And I don't know why you would want to anyway. It's not a race or a competition. I hope they're all really happy doing whatever works for them.

is this new?

R222 I think it's old. Sexy Richard.

[Quote] Bodyguard's Richard Madden [...] valiantly essays a duet of "Honky Cat" with Egerton that brings to mind Pierce Brosnan's brave warblings in "Mamma Mia!"

Poor bastard.

R222 from last summer.

When I looked for that though, there was a seriously crazy comment on the dim sum pic with B and his friend. It’s got to be a joke. It’s too crazy not to be... I don’t know how to post a screen shot. It’s the seventh or eighth comment down.

This tall lady has Richard looking very short haha

R225 Crazy is an understatement.

The white sneakers are back! He truly isn't a homosexual.

R228 Lol i was just going to comment that B must be exhausted in the room and couldn’t be bothered to confiscate the sneakers before R left.

R219 Speaking of Rocketman and Twitter, I noticed a couple months back that there was some backlash directed at Richard from gays who, assuming he was straight, attacked him for being a privileged straight man who could play gay roles but didn't have to worry about whether he'd get cast in straight roles. I'm curious to see if/how that changes in the coming months.

R225 Obviously a joke

Most Richard fans who dislike Brandon seem to be very, very into shipping him with Taron. I'm not sure if they actually believe they're fucking or is it just pretend.

Goddamn those shoes. Why does he love them so much?

Ok, a legitimate question... why do you all hate Richard's white sneakers? I think it looks fine.

Maybe it's a Closeted Gay British Actor secret code, those damn white shoes. Ben Barnes is partial to them as well.

R232 it's a fangirl thing to do, just instead of hating on a girlfriend so they can ship with a costar they are being hating on a boyfriend this time

I don’t mind the white sneakers either.

What does the comment say?

Why even wear a shirt if you're going to wear white sneakers? Just go full Vicky Pollard and wear a tracksuit. Shit.

R238 A crazy Madden fan telling Brandon that Richard is her husband.

R238 Someone accusing Brandon of stealing her husband and telling him he needs to move to another country and change his name and never contact Richard again. I'm sure it's a joke, but it still comes off as creepy because it's a little too close to the way some stans have been acting.

Completely hypocritical and homophobic on the media's part are r157 if Richard have been seen in pictures like this with a woman and had moved in with her and was walking her dog they would've already pegged them as dating.

R232 They like Taron because it's a safe bromance. They're fine with cuddling and maybe a pretend kiss or two, but I guarantee if that turned into a real romance they'd be hating on him the same way they hate on Brandon.

R243 Bingo

R242 You raise an interesting point. Someone upthread indicated we were outing Richard merely by speaking about Brandon and Richard in a boyfriends context. But is that true when the person in question appears to be glass closeting? When does it cross over from outing someone to acknowledging what seems to be something very obvious?

Richard has good taste. Those pics of Brandon at the airport in Nice are really sexy. He seems so fun and chill.

It's not outing to discuss what's in front of your face. No one here hss receipts that prove beyond a doubt that they're fucking.

If you hacked their phones and uploaded something compromising that you found to thr internet for the world to see - that would be outing.

It's not outing because they're not hiding. If they really cared they would make sure to not be seen together. They're not Britney circa 2007. Our speculation might be inappropriate and invasive, but it's inappropriate and invasive in the same way all celebrity gossip is.

I could see a Tom Jones biopic in his future.

R 248 That's an excellent way of framing it. So we're just ordinary nosy nellies then. I can live with that, lol.

R249 God I love that hairy chest. Brandon is so lucky.

Guys, do you remember in Thread 1 when it was decided that Madden was high and therefore needed to be held up by his roommate in those pap pics where Madden was possessively holding Brandon? We have come a long way.

[quote]Brandon is so lucky.

#blessed

Outing is outing. If the dailymail speak of Richard in the context of being in a relationship with another man while knowing he is in the closet then that's outing. There would be a (probably unsuccessful) lawsuit and they would be in a lot of hot water from Twitter etc

So you guys still think these two are dating?! R isn’t “dating” B. That guy only fucks women, however he’s very gay friendly and nice.

But hinting isn't outing?

People who live together don't really date. They go on outings.

R254 one can only sue if it is not true. And all these rags have to do to cover their asses just Incase is to use lose language like “allegedly” or “rumor has it...”.

R255 why is is travelling with him? And living together?

R256 He’s not gay, he doesn’t need to be “outing” lmao.

R259 the better to fuck him in a no homo way. They are roommates.

R255 Cuz it’s cheaper that way? It’s also the reason why they’re sharing clothes. Just two roommates being frugal.

There doesn't have to be a public coming out for someone to not be closeted. Some people just live their lives and don't need a People cover story.

Richard gets sick on airplanes and needs his pal Brandon there to hold the sick bag, especially on international flights. What a great friend!

[Quote] one can only sue if it is not true.

Ohreally?

Roomates with benefits and feelings

Brandon wpuld never wear those white sneakers...

R255 You can’t possibly be that stupid.

R264 I think Brandon was holding his dick during the flight

R268 but r255 is that stupid as evidence shows. I’d love to actually here how r255 explains this all as bros being bros.

R259 Who would be so stupid to say NO to Cannes lol. Richard is comfortable in his sexuality and no, he’s not fucking Brandon. Quote me when you guys are gonna reach thread 25352727 and this will turn out exactly how I wrote it. Till then, all this shipping has been so exciting, some fresh air in all this boredom.

R264 He’s always willing to lend a helping hand, like any best bro would!

When did your boredom commence?

R271 do you run one of those accounts that keeps dropping Brandon from pics? You sound a bit touched like them.

R274 Nope, I like Brandon, he’s cute.

I want to see Richard kissing Brandon after he wins an award!

R274 It probably is that crazy bitch

Brandon being with Sam kind of taints him a bit. Ewwww

Brandon is just traveling all over the world with Richard and going to dinners and concerts with him because Richard is ugly and poor and can’t score a date with a woman no matter how hard he tries. Brandon is such a great flat mate!

From the lipstickalley thread " The tea was spilled on here about him back in the day. I support him and his roommate though" "What was the tea?" "A friend hooked up with him and the dick report was good. The font was sure to hint that it wasn’t a woman too"

R278 please forgive Brandon for the Sam thing. He was doing a good deed and now he has been rewarded.

R271 Brandon didn't go to Cannes? It was New York and Monaco

R278/R281 Don't forget that Brandon was with Miles before Sam:

I still need Brandon to publish a how to guide on upgrading to premium dick. Teach me you ways, B!

R283 They never confirmed, Miles publicist said that they are friends

R280 “Back in the day.” I wonder how long ago? Also, I need to know if he was a bottom or a top.

R285 They seemed more like friends.

The people who bring Sam Smith up just to shit on him are annoying as fuck. Sam has done nothing to Richard and has only ever said good things about Brandon, so why the vitriol?

Miles actually made a state to the press denying the rumor that he and Brandon dated.

R283 Rob Stark premium dick upgrade no less. He needs to Teach a masterclass on Oprah. The world needs this knowledge.

R288 sorry I can’t help it. I just see Sam as so bloated and cunty. I will try to stop.

r289 That's completely incorrect - Miles' publicist issued a statement saying that they weren't dating, because, by that point, they had split up.

R288 Because Sam is a nasty looking creature that looks like he also smells.

Just got caught up with al the posts. Maybe they will return to NY together for the premiere. Richard and Brandon stayed at the Greenwich Hotel earlier so I wonder when they return, they will stay at the same hotel. The Hotel is on Greenwich and N. Moore street. The pictures of them leaving the hotel is from a side entrance on Greenwich. Do a Google Street View and you can see the doors they exited.

r287 Sure, just like Brandon and Richard look more like friends.

I want to know how Richard introduces Brandon to other people, his partner, his boyfriend?

R288 "The people who bring Sam Smith up just to shit on xim are annoying as fuck. Xie has done nothing to Richard and has only ever said good things about xir ex-bf Brandon, so why the vitriol?"

Fixed to better reflect Sam's non-binary identity.

R296 "This is the "13 Reasons Why" actor Brandon Flynn"

R286 From the comments I’ve read he’s a bottom.

R295 their publicist never stepped in to shut it down so its not the same

R297 would Sam just use they/them?

R295 lol. No comparison. Anyway, don’t care if Miles and Brandon were dating/fucking. It’s been ages and they have both moved on beautifully.

R302 They have indeed! I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of accepting that Richard & Brandon are in a relationship whilst denying that Miles & Brandon were, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

R303 they are co stars and a statement denying it was released...not the same. Anyway let's move on

Richard starting following a motorcycle company on Instagram, does he have one?

Oh, well - if a statement was made, then they couldn't possibly have been messing around.

r305 I don't think so but his dad does.

Pretty sure I've read Brandon has dated model Marc Sebastian at some point in the past.

Sebastian looks bitchy.

It's all speculation on who Brandon dated in the past. The only confirmed one was Sam

I don't know if it was mentioned before but Brandon's friend Tommy Dorfman liked the unicorn emoji comment that Brandon left of Richard's Cannes photo

[Quote] It's all speculation on who Brandon dated in the past.

Ditto the present.

Did you guys see this?

R311 Brandon and Tommy are BFFs so you know they have keeping each other posted on every single development. I can see Tommy liking the unicorn emoji comment with all the enthusiasm.

R312 ok if you still believe that. I mean, what is it going to take? If Brandon was a girl would you be doubting?

R314 Are they anymore though? They haven't been seen together in a while & Brandon hasn't liked any of his posts in a while (I know IG likes mean nothing but he used to interact a lot more with Tommy so I just find it weird)

Brandon is both a sweetheart and also incredibly hot:

R317 this bitch turned Richard’s world inside out.

R318 Yep, in the best way possible!

Am I the only one who thinks that posting unicorn emojis on instagram is something teenagers do but not a 25 years old guy? He's 25 and posting unicorn emojis!

Everybody knew that Brandon and Miles were dating.

It's curious, in the past one gay actor on a show was enough to keep the attention on him and let the rest skip the gay rumours but that just doesn't happen anymore. Of course Dorffman is married which keep the speculation on low levels, but the truth is i heard about Miles and Brandon way before knowing about 13 RW.

People was mean to Miles when Brandon came out (those comments about the wrong guy came out because Brandon can play straight were mean)

R320 Unicorns are for life.

R320 Yes, you are the only one. Everyone uses emojis.

Brandon isn't incredibly hot. He's more in the Jonathan Groff mold.

R316. Tommy is filming in Atlanta, I think. I also thought they were neighbors? I do think B has cut way back on his friend interaction since R, but that’s totally normal in a new relationship, especially when there’s so much traveling.

R324 Groff is hot too, though Brandon is prettier - what's your point?

R324 Brandon is very hot to me. He has that wholesome hotness about him but also a cuteness and the fact that he came out so early in his career makes him extra hot.

R313 LOL. I don’t know if the misspelling of homophobia was intentional but it’s still hilarious. I love that people keep calling them out.

[quote]Yes, you are the only one. Everyone uses emojis.

I'm not talking about emojis in general. I know that everyone uses them lol. But a unicorn emoji is something totally different than other emojis.

Yes. Boy next door cute. Not incredibly hot.

It was intentional, r328. It's internet humor; homosexual = home of sexual, suicide = sewer side and so on.

If anyone has seen the photo shoot for DROME magazine that Brandon did... he can look pretty fucking sexy tbh

R330 Beauty is to the eye of the beholder. Madden is the one beholding him right now so our opinions are just that.

r332, can we pretend this shoot doesn't exist? Like, please...

The wrong roommate got invited to the Met Gala...

R334 why? because he's wearing makeup and 'feminine' clothes in some of the photos?

R355 he looks great. Nice facial structure.

[Quote] why? because he's wearing makeup and 'feminine' clothes in some of the photos?

The theme of the Met Gala was "Camp". Do the math.

Hmm, r336. Idk maybe you're right lol. I just don't think it's fapping material if you know what I mean, ;).

R338 I wasn't replying to the post about the met gala?

I hope they do Game of Thrones role play. “get on your knees for your King in the North”

R336: The theme of the gala was camp, and Richard failed big time, in fact he was in the No homo camp (which curiously was full of guys who are rumoured to be closet cases)

Call me a cunt, because this is very cunty, but while I find Richard HOT and think he's a wonderful person, and I think he and Brandon are hot together-

the second he opens his mouth, I am turned off by him. Can't get past the accent, not that he would EVER give a fuck lol. doubting, or at least hoping, I'm not the only person who thinks this.

You have a problem with a Scottish accent r343?

It's too thick? You just couldn't take it?

If I could I would inject Richard’s voice/accent directly into my American veins but that’s just me

R344 No need to be rude. Some people just don't like the accent. Why does everyone here have to have the same opinion?

I think his accent makes him even more attractive

It could prove problematic in his adopted country. Like Nadine Coyle.

He would still be hot without the accent but the accent honestly increases his hotness by a lot lol

Brandon used to watch Game of Thrones. I bet he had a crush on Richard since season 1 and now he's dating him. It wouldn't surprise me if he refers to him as "Your Majesty" when they're having sex

Does Richard plunge his sword into Brandon?

[quote]But a unicorn emoji is something totally different than other emojis.

Yasss we is, gurl

Richard’s accent and that sexy baritone are two of the hottest things about him IMO. But I have a weakness for Scottish accents. I love to hear Rory McCann talk, too.

What about Rab C. Nesbitt?

R351 I’ll bet he makes the King in the North travel down South a lot.

I find the Scott accent sometimes to be too harsh and hard to understand but Richard’s is softer so it sounds awesome. Also the way he speaks is just lovely.

R357 He could read the phone book to me and I’d sit and listen all the way to Z.

[quote]Brandon used to watch Game of Thrones. I bet he had a crush on Richard since season 1 and now he's dating him.

I remember in an interview Richard said he used to watch a lot of Netflix and loved Black Mirror and Ozarks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he watched 13 Reasons Why and had a crush on him too.

Brandon was making out with Sam Smith all over the place. Why the secrecy with Richard now? Like as if people don’t know you’re together when you’re traveling the world together.

R359 So you see, that’s where the trouble began. That smile. That damned smile.

r361 Who could resist.

Brandon is by far one of the best actors in that mess of a show lol

R360 Maybe Brandon doesn’t want to make out all over the place anymore. It was cringey tbh. Sam is also just so extra and Madden seems more chill. It’s not like it did the relationship any good though. They broke up.

[r351] That's "Your Grace" and it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[R352] If the Iron Throne was made of cocks you wouldn't be able to get Brandon off of it.

So they’ve been together for about 8 months? Time flies...

[R81] Okay who's the snarky bitch on here that left the new comment on Ellie's video?

"Shame Ellie doesn't sing anymore. Though if they ever reunite they may have to change their name from "Annoy the Boy" to "Drove the Boy Into the Arms of Another Boy." :)"

lol

JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE... Are they really all that interesting ? Is there anything or anyone else to talk about ?

R367 God I’m awful. That’s wrong but I still laughed.

R368

1. Yes

2. No

R367 That’s fucked up.

[quote][R344] No need to be rude. Some people just don't like the accent. Why does everyone here have to have the same opinion?

I know, I know. Opinions. Assholes. Everybody has one.

It's just that in your case the general stench makes it difficult to tell them apart.

R367, seriously whoever wrote that comment is an asshole. Leave her alone people.

I find it very unlikely that she would check the comments of a video she uploaded on the youtube channel of her now-defunct duo.

R374 it’s very unlikely that she’d check that, for sure. But it is it necessary to make that comment anyway?

R352 Get real, it's Brandon plunging his sword into Richard. Bisexual men are notorious for being submissive bottoms with men and dominant tops with women. The real deal is more pleasurable than the wife/gf using an apparatus from the Stag Shop.

R376 or maybe it’s the other way round and all variations available. Why limit the fun with unsubstantiated stereotypes?

The fucking bodyguard, but sensitive. The first IG post of Richard’s that Brandon liked. Posted on November 8th

OMG, all the tags on that post!! Was he that desperate to get likes back then? lol

....

Someone with 6k followers is verified?

R380 He’s making fun of people that actually believe it.

Someone mentioned on twitter that Brandon is the most powerful twink today, imagine he got with 2 well known famous men ..name me another twink that has magical powers like that!

[quote][R376] or maybe it’s the other way round and all variations available. Why limit the fun with unsubstantiated stereotypes?

R377 Exactly. Why the rigid absolutes? We're dealing with a Gemini and a Libra — open-minded, flexible, non-jealous types. Maybe they flipfuck occasionally. Maybe Richard is 70% cowardly. Maybe they're sharing a few t-shirts. Bitches need to chill.

R383 Um....let’s not overplay it. The other dude is Sam Smith. Is he really that big of a catch? He’s such a whiny, needy mess. I mean..

R385 I don't get the hate for Sam Smith, he's not even ugly

Richard is needy as well. Ditched and switched in the same month?

R385 well your post doesn't say ugly, but a lot of them do

R387 But have you seen him? I’m kidding he hasn’t been as whiny as Sam. Sam is just so Lena Dunham. There’s really no excuse for that.

Say what you will about what Sam says but who else is theer that's a current out male singer AND a mainstream success? Olly Alexander is nobody in the US.

Omg found a video in the second clip Sam is giving Brandon a lap dance and its very awkward Brandon has no emotion and it does look like sam is the bottom in this relationship!!

Lena Dunham is way worse - the sexual abuse stuff. Sam is just clueless.

R391 I told you guys he’s a top

R390 troye sivan is on the up

R390 he’s a very, very talented singer but it comes with emotional baggage that he shares so much with everyone. It’s offputting

R391 Sam giving anyone a lap dance sounds absolutely horrifying so I'll skip watching

R396 lol. Me too and I thought about it for a while before deciding not to click.

Will the SS haters pulllease stop hijacking this thread?

R392 True

Troye Sivan couldn't buy a hit off "Bloom". He's not a mainstresm success.

I don't listen to Sam Smith but his mainstream success cannot be denied.

R400 more reccently his charli xcx collab was big

In the video Sam is doing a sexual act that makes me thinks hes the catcher in the relationship.

I think that's well established by now, r402 lol!

The lap dance is very brief. And yes, it did make men wonder if Brandon was at all genuine about Sam.

*it did make me wonder

Richard doesn't follow Ellie but she still follows him. When did he unfollowed her?

R406? He currently follows her private account, her public account and her sibling.

I think Brandon is more sexually satisfied with Richard you can tell because he seems boderline in love/obsessed with him and for being such an extrovert Brandon has been super private and not as open as before.

Wow. You lot are a bunch of obsessed sick fuckers. Creepy thread, creepy people.

Isnt Ellie filming in LA right now? Do u think there is a possibilty they might get back together? I mean they still follow each other and the break up is still new..Geminis sometimes dont know what they want.

Are there screencaps of playlists Brandon made for Sam? Similar kinds of songs to the Richard ones?

UH based on the lap dance video, surely Brandon was the top in the relationship. Kinda hard to deny it.

Unless he's letting Richard top him, then Richard is a bottom too lol.

R410 astrology isn't real

R410 snap out of it.

Isn't Ellie 21... the kind of age older, manipulative types enjoy?

R10 LOL no. Even if Richard had a change of heart (unlikely), she wouldn’t take him back after he left her for a guy.

Maybe that’s why Richard seems to be smitten too. Brandon’s fuck game rocked his world. (Still think they switch tho)

Hmm this is slightly OT but apparently Taron said in an interview with OUT about Rocketman that Elton tops in the sex scene with Richard's character... Can anyone who's seen the film confirm this? Lol

I dont think Ellie is the type of girl who gets to be manipulated by a 10 year older man with more experience in showbiz because shes the one who dump him not the other way around.

Elton drank and drugged through the 70s and 80s. If he weren't a top, he'd probably be dead.

R419, that's the official story.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

A 19 year old is a dicey choice for a beard.

Ellie was not a beard folks, come on. And no, even if she’s filming in LA, she and RM won’t get back together.

Yeah as much I like Richard him getting with Ellie when she was 19 is not a great look.

I wonder what Brandon and Richard did in france in france,did they hang out in yacht overlooking the france riviera?

R410 Why would she go back to a guy that dumped her for a twink?

This article says Reid tops Elton, though, so I don’t know.

Elton was a producer on the film and said he wanted it to be an honest portrayal of his life.

WTF? Are they engaging in bottom shaming? Maybe Elton is vers and it happens in a later scene.

lol whether or not Elton tops or bottoms is kinda irrelevant to this thread so...

R430 just like DL! Evolved people don’t think in such restrictive ways. Embrace what works for you, have fun and go. No one gives a shit about positions and what goes where. You aren’t special.

So has it been a couple of days since Brandon's been active on insta?

r433 He likes one or two posts like once a day. Nothing more than that.

Can we please end the Elton bottoming discussion. My stomach can only handle so much.

R433 R434 He’s too busy making sweet love to his man to bother with Instagram.

Worth a reshare even if just for the one who wants to bend him over and pound him like an iron fist through a wet sheet of paper.

I know someone who hooked up with Sam Smith and he said he was a top. Feminine, yes, but a top. It’s not unheard of. And I’ve seen others say this on twitter too. Granted I don’t have screenshots cause I’m not that interested in Sam smith’s sex life lmao. Anyway, back to actual interesting stuff, I wonder if Brandon will fly to NY with Richard for Rocketman premiere? I don’t expect him to walk the carpet because he never did with Sam but it would be nice if he actually went :)

R438 I don’t care if he goes to NY premiere. We got so much these past few days.

r439 true!! I didn’t expect it lol.

R438 I’ll read the exact opposite on Twitter from verified accounts.

So Brandon looking like a plank during that lapdance was a bottom "I'm not interested in YOUR asshole" moment?

Anyone know if they are still in france? It's unheard of for Brandon not to post a pic of himself over there why the secrecy?

R443 Because he’s too busy enjoying himself and/or they’re still trying to negotiate the territory of how public they’re ready to be?

r443 He didn't post any pics while they were in London either. I think he likes the privacy as much as Richard does.

Elton is a top. He had very masculine mannerisms in his 70s and 80s interviews. He didn’t go full old frau until the 90s.

wouldnt elton be dead prob in the 80's or 90's like freddie if he was a bottom?

Michelle Williams?

Michelle Williams?

God, isn’t anyone vers? Strict top and strict bottom is so boring!

R448???

Elton is an exclusive top because he didnt die from the AIDS.

Wrong thread, r459

Why are you people STILL talking about Elton John’s sex life?

The aren’t posting a lot because they are too wrapped up with each other.

Okay I feel I have to apologize,I was the original poster who asked about who tops in the Rocketman sex scene after seeing that interview with Taron, I did not think it would spur multiple posts about Elton's IRL sex life... yikes lmao

R454 wrapped up in each other

R408 No shit Brandon is more sexually satisfied with Richard. Ugly ass Sam Smith is a boner shrinker.

R343 I’m the same, I don’t think it’s bc of the accent but his personality (lol) as he once said he thinks he’s boring, well he kinda is....

R271 My thoughts. Even though it’s nice to follow their actions/outings I still think Richard is straight af just not afraid of being friendly with a gay friend, which is very nice. I honestly respect Richard a lot more for that

AND the reason they’re not hiding is because there’s nothing there. Watch Richard confirm that, until then we can enjoy the bubble

R460 Worry about your own nohomo bubble first!

R461 I ship them very hard, I hope I’m wrong

R380 if it’s true it worked haha at least for me

Brandon is #blessed to have this view

All this gay sex, top/bottom talk means the deluded fangirls have abandoned this thread, right? They're probably shaking in a corner and weeping since yesterday when we got the hotel and airport photos.

Richard is just SO comfortable in his heterosexuality!! He must be the straightest guy to ever exist!

Until Richard says anything or they are caught sucking face in public, I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s straight. He’s probably just treating Brandon to France as a way of saying thank you for letting him crash at Brandon’s pad rent-free while he adjusts to life in LA.

R466 The straightest, most dedicated roommate in Hollywood

R467 I'm sure Richard showed his gratitude towards Brandon in a multitude of ways! :)

[quote]He’s probably just treating Brandon to France as a way of saying thank you for letting him crash at Brandon’s pad rent-free while he adjusts to life in LA.

Brandon is a great guy. Letting Richard live with him until he’s able to afford his own place. They’re such great pals!

Wait...what? 18 threads later we are back at square 1? So now people here beliee Richard is just a very gay friendly straight dude treating his roommate to a trip to France? Richard is so gay friendly he would allow his roomate to make a spotify playlist dedicated specifically for him filled with love songs and he doesnt find it boderline creepy at all that his room mate does that because he is soo gay friendly????

It’s a troll. Block them and go,

R465

Sadly, the deluded fangirls are still here, living in an alternate universe where Richard is 'straight af' -see R459, R460......

They still in Monaco?

[Quote] The sigh of disappointment in the cinema to see Richard Madden (The Bodyguard) playing Elton's lover/manager was palpable.

This is the kind of shit he's up against.

They're on instagram liking things together atm. And Brandon just followed ferrari. He's gotta be at the grand prix with Richard, right?

R477 Yesterday Richard started to follow the Ferrari account so yeah, he was with Richard at the Grand Prix!

I love when they IG together

So I guess they are back in the states or are they going stay a little bit longer since its memorial weekend and ny premire doesnt start till 29?

they not together no more. duh

git real queens.

twas a one week stand !!!!!

What day is the NYC premiere?

This Wednesday the 29th at 7pm

Does Richard top Brandon, or are they vers?

Vers.

R484 I’m going with vers. Richard may have boring taste in clothes but I’ll bet he’s a freak in the sheets.

And for the record ... (to the concern trolls further up this thread) ... any remaining doubts I may have had that they were a couple flew out the window with the NY pics. At this point, any cyber stalker with eyes, a brain and observational skills can tell they’re a couple.

Another update for the people here the other day who insisted the DM was trying to bury the story about Brandon and Richard leaving the hotel together: It's appearing as the top story when I search Google.

R487 No one actually believed that troll.

R487 But is it on DM site among top stories? It was not yesterday. I actually remember just a short text of him arriving to Nice showing him alone photo. DM had him in topstory about how he helped his female costar through Bodyguard sex scenes.

Did any major outlet pick R&B trip to France? I don't mean individual twitter / IG accounts.

.....

Hahaha, for a guy who is accused of being so concerned about hiding Richard is far worse at staying out of shots of Brandon than the other way around... look behind Brandon's head here :D

The commented hashtags on his post have me dying haha

uh this was the second image in that guys IG

I like Brandon’s glasses

R493 lovely 👍thanks

R494 Me too. He looks really good in glasses. I wonder if Richard likes that little wispy beard on him? It looks soft and nuzzle-worthy.

R493 I love Richard's face while he waits in the background!

I don't think Richard realises he's in that selfie lol

R497 I love his bitch face

They look satisfied and well fucked. They had fun. I hope we'll get new pics in NY. They aren't hiding, they took pics with the guy knowing full well he was going to post it.

R488 I asked could the DM be trying to bury the story, and for the record, I'm not a troll. I'm the one who found the photo of Brandon arriving with Richard in France. I didn't ask to troll. It wasn't showing up at all for me in google news or a wider google search on Richard Madden limited to 24 hours. Now it is showing up, but it very definitely wasn't before. I asked because I honestly wondered could they be doing that and didn't know if it was even possible for them to do that.

Just noticed the tags he used 😭

He uses those tags on all the photos he posts lmao

They must be heading back to nyc

R501 Maybe not enough people were searching for it? I don't really know how Google algorithms work. I never said you were a troll, but it seems that some people here are convinced that Richard's PR people are calling all the media and ordering them not to publish photos of him with Brandon or mention his name. They don't have that much power over the media. I don't doubt that Richard and Brandon try to avoid the paps most of the time, but I'm not believing that there's some massive "covering their tracks" in the works, either. That's not directed at you -- just at DL posters in general.

Richard is mortified that people think this silly boy is his bf

R500 noone said that they are hiding from being on individual twitter/IG for limited number of people to see. I wonder how come major outlets with millions of readers are not picking this up. DM was insinuating at the time they had very little material (hand on neck photo). Now when the story developed and a lot of photos piled up in the meantime, they are strangly silent.

That airport guy is so thirsty with those tags. Get a boyfriend, jeez.

I wonder who does the laundry in this relationship.

R506 I agree. You can tell Richard’s mortified by how he travels with him, lives with him, shares clothes with him, introduces him to friends and family, walks his dog for him.... Mortified I tell you.

There are tactics to limit the traction on posts. Closing/moderating the comments is one such tactic.

Stars are protected all the time. Stories are killed - some before publication, some in how they're framed or distributed.

I think that someone (imo Ruchard's PR but could be other interested parties too) nagotiated with DM that the NYC article is not topstory and to have comments moderated. It got only two comments from the same person and that way sunk as "not interesting". That's the way to hide stories in this time and age.

R507 i thought it was odd DM didn’t pick up those either. especially since the last article was definitely “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” implying they were more than flat mates.

The DM have to tread carefully. They could face a blacklash if they did, say, a "they're sharing clothes" post.

I think it's cute that they had this romantic little getaway, they are so sweet!

Yesterday I was reading an old article on DM about Brandon and Sam and the comments were moderated there too. So maybe they are trying to prevent homophobic comments?

R515 They look relaxed and happy in those fan photos.

Sharing clothes posts can't happen. Not on mainstream sites. It's not evidence of anything. Two people can but the same shirt, you know? I know my and bff have one in common and we didn't even know we both had it for a couple of years.

^buy, not but

R514 DM doesn't have to write much text other then captions under all photos in chronological order incl. NYC and Monaco, put it on first page and open for comments.

R516 i think so. the DM seems to lean to the right than left like the guardian. some of the comments can get really bad on there. as a side though, a lot of the comments on R’s solo articles are about his acting being horrible. those people are vicious.

This guy in the background still cracks me up. He probably doesn't know either of them. He's just geeked at the paparazzo snapping away.

It’s not that DM is burying the story it might be they have other better stories to promote that will perform better.

But isn't it odd that the moderating leads to hardly any comments. If you click on most DM articles, there'll be typical comments like "he loves himself", "that woman has no class" - i.e. the regular bitches bitching. They're suddenly mute on these Madden/Flynn posts?

Sweet Brandon

R523 just take a look what their top stories in t&showbiz are, lol

The DM first article about them received hundreds of comments

R505 R523 They went HARD on the story in the beginning. The articles about them walking the dog, the double date with Kate Mara and Jamie Bell, and of course the first pictures, were full of hinting and dancing around what they wanted to say but couldn't. Then they did an absolute u-turn. The pictures of them going out to dinner in NYC didn't even have Brandon's NAME in them. He was "male companioned". Even the dashing out of a hotel together pics didn't get quite the same treatment, though they're arguably much more gossipy than walking the dog or the many many posts about Richard working out that you couldn't even escape they featured them so much. And they didn't even bother to pick up the pictures of them landing in Nice together, though they've featured Richard airport pics solo before when he was less famous than now.

I don't think it's unbelievable that someone on Richard's team has arranged for this change in treatment of them. No, nobody on his team can possibly control all the media, but they absolutely could have a connection they could exploit in one or two of the tabloids, in this case the DM.

R526 yeah, generally the kardashians. they have to have a deal with DM. their stories are too obviously on the side of how amazing they are. their posts also always have comments in the thousands generally.

Are we upset or happy about the DM “burying” the story? Personally, I don’t mind because it gives Richard and Brandon some room without the tabloidy nonsense. They are managing to keep us updated via these pics we are getting without commentary.

R529 I have NO doubt that pictures of Richard and Brandon exiting a hotel together would have got many, many more comments than just two. They just didn't post them. (And yeah, some of them would have been awful, so moderation would have been good to deal with those, but there's no way that only those two comments were the only ones acceptable to be published ALL day long.)

R518, of course people can buy the same shirt. The evidence aspect is the rolling ball of "coincidences" to paint a larger picture or impression. My point is that the DM won't fear backlash over pics of two men walking in nature. But they would be wary of getting for getting too fangurl and stalkerish in their posts, e.g. posting a Brandon screenshot in the same distinctive sweater as Richard has worn. The DM don't want to be seen as "hounding" the pair.

R528 👍 for the recap

Remember the story of Rock Hudson's reps preventing an outing story by giving the tabloid a lesser star to fuck over. The "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" is age old.

R472 and R474 This all could have been avoided if Richard wasn't such a coward and actually showed PDA with Brandon. He's very calculated. He's enjoying the best of both world, the delusional fangirls think Brandon is just a friend while the gays continue to speculate every time they're seen together. If Richard actually had balls he would shut down all the speculation by holding Brandon's hand in public or kissing him. He will never do that because he's a fucking coward.

R535 Oh god, please shut UP with the coward nonsense. No, he is not. No coward would be living and travelling openly with Brandon and introducing him to friends, family and colleagues. At this point, anyone paying attention thinks they're together unless they ACTIVELY WANT to think otherwise.

The delusional fangirls know that Brandon is his boyfriend! They hate the idea and they can't accept it but they know! These past few days they have been quiet, in private they are raging!

R535 a broken record

R535 He is not a d lister trying to perform for paps. You are just grasping for straws because your fave turned out to be into guys. You will get over it.

OMG. I finally listened to Richard singing Honky Cat. To be fair, he never claimed to be a good singer, but yikes.

R540 oh no! how bad? was it on itunes?

I didn’t think it was that bad, the original EJ songs are loads better though of course. RM is no singer, for sure. R541 I was able to listen on Apple Music, but I think it’s on Spotify 😉 and amazon music too.

Yeah, I heard it on Spotify. I don’t think he’ll be releasing any albums anytime soon, but at least he has his acting career to fall back on. LOL

Did the person who saw RM on the same flight to Dubai last November also namecheck Ellie as a fellow traveller on that plane?

He said that he isn't a good singer! lol! Brandon is the one that sings for him!

This is thread 18 and it's almost at 600 posts in just 48 hours. What is happening here? Why the surge of interest in two little-known actors? I saw RM on GMA this week and thought he sounded and looked gay but only because of this DL frenzy. You have infected popular culture with the notion that RM is gay. at

What if he isn't? Will you still love him? Do you still love me?

R546 So much interest in them but on the DM there are only two comments under the article. And people still think that Richard's team isn't asking the DM to bury the articles about them.

R546 haha!

[quote] The people who bring Sam Smith up just to shit on him are annoying as fuck. Sam has done nothing to Richard and has only ever said good things about Brandon, so why the vitriol?

Sam used to be fat and now he isnt. Being fat is tolerated under certain cirsumstances. Being formerly fat, falsely hot and snagging a cute guy is unforgivable.

This thread has only a little under 6.5k views. The original thread has near 10.5k views. Those aren't huge numbers.

Doesn’t Brandon have a job? Why is he following Richard all over the place? It’s like a total case of gay man falling for straight best friend and hoping something would happen if he stays close enough. Richard is just tolerant of Brandon now cuz he’s living at Brandon’s place. Otherwise, any straight man would think it’s creepy when your gay friend keeps following you around when you got work to do. Wait til Richard finds his own place and move out then he’ll kick Brandon to the curb.

All three are formerly fat.

r551 LOL! Somehow you think Richard being a manipulative profiteering "friend" is better than him being genuinely attracted to Brandon... yeah I see you :$

R551 No one believes you, dumbass.

R551 is a Sam Stan. They are typically just angry at Brandon for upgrading to such a hot piece.

R555 The green eye monster

Richard could end the speculation right now by holding Brandon's hand in public. He will never do that though. Instead we have delusional stans like R551 thinking they're just friends. This will continue until Richard is honest about his relationship with Brandon.

It was Richard that decided to surprise Brandon with this sweet trip! He wanted to bring Brandon with him. I bet they had romantic dinners and sweet and hot sex! Their faces speak for themselves! They are clearly in love! I hope we'll see pics of them in NY this week, Brandon is going to the premiere.

Who gives a fuck about the premiere. It's one of how many? It's not all that special.

Has Richard come out yet?

All the trolls have arrived. That little weekend getaway in Monaco hurt them bad

R557 It's not his job to go around convincing people of anything unless we're talking about when he is actually on set portraying a role. Otherwise, he's just living his life, and as is pretty obvious, he's been honest with everyone he ACTUALLY knows. Otherwise, the wider world can just make up their own minds, and as has been said- at this point, to anyone who has paid attention, it's extremely obvious what's going on. The only people who don't see it are the ones who don't want to. And who cares if they want to delude themselves?

Is this their home?

R561 It’s what they deserve

R563 no, think it’s Richard’s place in London.

[r551] "Doesn’t Brandon have a job? Why is he following Richard all over the place?" He filmed the third season of 13 Reasons Why in February/March and is supposed to be filming American Horror Story this summer into the fall. If he's not pursuing more roles (and for all we know he could be auditioning gor things we don't know about) then he's enjoying time off in between the roles he does have.

There are plenty of stars I have no idea (and don't care) who they're dating, married to, or reportedly seen with. I only know this now because of the thread. I assume most don't go out in public and get photographed. Isn't Chris Evans still doing the "likes to keep his relationships private" thing? Despite the "too busy to stay with his girlfriend" meme that seems like PR plants. Ditto Chris Kline and so on.

Of course Chris Evans wanted to keep his last relationship private. It started when she was still married.

I think they were being affectionate when they were walking with the box of joints in LA; they probably sampled a bit at the shop (I doubt you can smoke or vape indoors in California so maybe edibles?) and that loosened Richard up a bit hence the hand roughly gripping Brandon's neck. We'll probably continue to see them walking 5 feet apart until they decide to smoke some cannabis again before going out and about.

[quote]I doubt you can smoke or vape indoors in California so maybe edibles?

You can vape indoors in California. Plenty of people do it especially at bars at night.

R569 America has a toxic masculinity culture. Straight men in Europe hug, kiss, and hold hands with their friends in public all the time. So of course Richard grabbing Brandon’s neck had a bunch of gays’ panties in a wad. Richard is European so bring affectionate with another friend is nothing. You people read way too much into their friendship.

R571 Richard is very affectionate especially when he's putting his dick inside Brandon!

'Straight men in Europe hug, kiss, and hold hands with their friends in public all the time'

In Scotland not so much!

R571 Ah, looks like you've finally finished crying and returned to DL to convince yourself Richard is straight. Such a miserable frau-to-be you are!

R571 that would be plausible if that holding pic was the only thing happening here. It isn’t. Stop being deliberately simple minded.

[quote]Straight men in Europe hug, kiss, and hold hands with their friends in public all the time

Straight men in Europe don't go around holding hands with each other. A hug is normal. And cheek kisses are only normal as greetings in Southern Euopean countries. Certainly not in Scotland. You might plant a kiss on a mate's cheek when goofing around but that's a totally different situation.

I think some Americans really don't understand the huge cultural differences within (wider) Europe. You simply can't write as though countries as diverse as Spain, Norway, Scotland, Ireland and Albania (for example) have the same attitudes and norms.

Despite sort-of sharing a land mass (since the UK and Ireland are not technically part of that mass), we are much more diverse than you can imagine, with separate histories, religious attitudes, culture, etc.

In Scotland straight men don’t hold their friends bare necks.

R578 what if the friend’s neck is covered?

(continued from R577) so whenever I see people saying 'people in Europe do x or y' it is almost never true.

Just remember the differences between Canada, USA and Mexico. Europe is even more extreme.

I want to know why Asia Chow said “we can’t all be as lucky as Brandon” back in November and Brandon answered "blessed", it was a few days after Richard started to follow Brandon. Maybe Richard started to flirt with him?

Do European men travel the world with their roomies?

European men travel the world with their friends.

European men also buttfuck their male friends.

LOL at the trolls. Their desperation smells so sweet. Brandon and Richard are in love. Deal with it. :)

right now when i see comments like europeans are this or that just to make what R&B have is nothing i simply dont give a fuck about what they say for me richard and brandon are happy and together and i will enjoy them and for all those fangurlss out there let them be happy its not your life to live..

why do we always go back to the same old argument?

R588 Because people are incapable of not feeding the trolls, apparently.

Link to next thread

R582 I think they started hooking up in October

I'm convinced the reason the RM's sister won't follow BF on IG is because there was some infidelity happening. But if he was on the rocks with Ellie then it might not be so black and white.

R592, that’s quite a leap. Maybe she sees the back and forth on the net about these two and figures she doesn’t want drama or people asking her about them in her page. Also she’s befriended and is still friendly with Jenna and Ellie. Maybe she wants to see if Brandon sticks around before she gets attached. Or just simply she has no desire to follow him for reasons that are her own.

I've scanned an ongoing Madden thread on another site. They were scratching their head at the Brandon follow at the time it happened. The beach pics were mentioned but I've only seen Ellie's. Apparently, she only posted the pic after the GQ article came out. Is Richard's pic definitely the same beach? Neither pic were locatiom tagged, I believe.

But doesn't the sister follow that messy fan account on IG?

Do any of Brandon’s family members follow Richard or vice versa? I wonder if they met.

R592 This. I also think that Richard must have cheated on Ellie with Brandon. Brandon and Richard met before Richard's vacation with Ellie. And Asia's comment "we can't all be as lucky as Brandon" and Brandon's "blessed" comment hint that they were already hooking up. There's no way that someone would comment something like that to a random friend that Richard just met.

But I disagree with your comment that it might not be so clack and white purely because Ellie and Richard could have been on the rocks. It doesn't matter if you're already on the rocks with your partner. If you're still in a relationship and even go on a vacation together that means that you're cheating on your partner if you meet and hook up with someone else at the same time. I also think that infidelity was involved when Brandon and Richard met and that's why his sister doesn't follow Brandon. She might eventually follow him if they stay together because you can't hold a grudge against your brother's bf forever but the start of their relationship seems definitely messy.

R593 They've been together since October/November. Enough time has passed. I doubt she just doesn't follow because she thinks the relationship is too fresh.

[quote]I've scanned an ongoing Madden thread on another site.

Which site? LA?

R595 Up till now the messy fan account has only been messy on twitter, she kept it off ig. The sister may not even know if she's deliberately leaving out pictures that have Brandon in them since I doubt she's looking up full sets of pictures of her brother's comings and goings. She probably just follows that account to be supportive of him.

R596 Brandon's older sister follows Richard

Yes, LA.

The sister is likely to be a DM reader, though.
