Richard madden reveals low pay for game of thrones role

Richard Madden, the Scottish actor who played Robb Stark in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, has spoken out about the low pay he received for his role in the show.

In an interview with The Guardian, Madden revealed that he was paid a relatively small amount for his work on Game of Thrones, despite the show's massive success and his character's significant screen time.

"I was paid a very low wage for Game of Thrones," Madden said. "I was paid a wage that was not commensurate with the success of the show. I was paid a wage that was not commensurate with the amount of work I was doing."

Madden also expressed frustration that he was not able to negotiate a better deal for himself, citing the show's complex production schedule and the fact that he was a relatively new actor at the time.

"I was a young actor, and I didn't know how to negotiate," Madden said. "I didn't know how to say no. I didn't know how to stand up for myself. I was just grateful to be working on the show."

Madden's comments have sparked outrage among fans of the show, who are calling for better pay and working conditions for actors in the industry. The issue of low pay for actors has been a long-standing problem in the entertainment industry, with many actors struggling to make a living wage despite the success of their shows.

It's worth noting that Madden's comments are not unique to Game of Thrones, and many actors have spoken out about the low pay they receive for their work. However, Madden's comments have highlighted the issue and sparked a wider conversation about the need for better pay and working conditions for actors.
