What a scene it is…

If you think of the most shocking moments in Game of Thrones history, the chances are, the Red Wedding is going to rank high on most lists.

We shouldn’t really have to give you a spoiler warning consdering it was first broadcast so long ago, but if you haven’t yet seen it, stop reading now…

In the episode, viewers saw most of the remaining members of the Stark family wiped out at the hands of the Freys, with some tinkering from the Lannisters thrown into the mix.

Speaking to GQ, Richard Madden revealed that directly after finishing the scene which saw his character Robb Stark die in a massacre alongside his mother, wife and unborn child, he had to head straight to the airport to catch a flight.

“I sobbed and sobbed on that Friday. I was hysterical actually. I was so exhausted. I cried all the way home,” he said.

But apart from describing his reaction to finishing up his filming with GOT, Madden also went through the process of his final scene in Game of Thrones and the work that went into it.

It makes for great viewing…
