Madden expressed pride in coming from a working-class family in an interview with British Vogue and said that inequality in education and the lack of creative opportunities for working-class children in schools sparked his social conscience.

Trivia:
- In a 2015 interview with Flaunt magazine, Richard said that if he weren’t acting, he’d probably be a “shy, fat kid living in Scotland with no girlfriend.” Though it may appear that he was joking, he explained that he was timid as a child and turned to theatre as a way to cope.
- Despite the fact that Game of Thrones made Madden a household name, he didn’t make much money as the King of the North. “People think I’m [wealthy] because of Game of Thrones, but I was 22 when I signed up,” Madden told The Sunday Times.
- He spoiled the ending of his character as Robb Stark for himself by googling it. Even before he had the chance to pick up the book and read it, people talked to him about it. Unlike most actors, he didn’t read up on the character he was set to portray.
- He loves to keep his personal life on the down-low and only wants to be in the limelight for the roles he plays!
