Gus Kenworthy is the reigning king of freestyle skiing. And it turns his celebrity doppelganger is a king, too. Or, um, was. In the North. Of Westeros, that is.
Related: Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon share a tender kiss: “We’re queer. Get used to it.”
The internet is freaking out because they just realized that Kenworthy shares an uncanny resemblance to Scottish actor Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in the early seasons of Game of Thrones before being brutally murdered at the infamous Red Wedding.

Are we 100% sure that Gus Kenworthy isn't Robb Stark/Richard Madden? Has anyone ever seen them in a room together? https://t.co/BQJBh1Qf5f

Yes. They’re both white and they both got beards. Next..
DarkZephyr
Its not just that. Its their bone structure, the shape of their eyes, their mouths, etc. They really do look very similar.
ElPillo
They do look alike except for the nose

I’m as thirsty as the next gay guy, and think that Richard Madden and Gus Kenworthy are prime specimens… but they don’t even *remotely* resemble one another (especially shirts off).
As Taran Killian (channeling Jebidah Atkinson) would have put it, NNNNNEXT!

Can’t agree. I think the facial similarities are startling.
GayEGO
Their faces are similar, which is what the public sees, not when their shirts are off.

This show has been on for several years now, hell Rob isn’t even ON it anymore and people are “just now” putting this together?? The first time Ken showed up I had this thought. Must be a slow news day. What, did no one show half nudity on Instagram this morning?
S.anderson
He should call himself “Ken Gusworthy” since it’s what I always say aloud anyway. 🙂
Hillers
Not bad at all, but I’ll stick with the original.
Lacuevaman
it’s uncanny.
nm4047
and it’s like when I hear them speak, I can tell them apart either. white guys with beards end of any resemblance.
Xzamilloh
Gus’s boyfriend looks more like Gus than this guy. Remove the beard, and the similarities end.
