BRANDON Flynn had quite the breakthrough after landing a role in the hit Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why.
He’s also known to have formerly dated pop superstar Sam Smith while recent reports have linked him to Bodyguard actor Richard Madden. But what else is there to know about Brandon? We have the lowdown…
Who is Brandon Flynn? What is his background?
Brandon Flynn, 24, was born October 11, 1993, and is an American actor.
He is best known for his role as Justin Foley in the hit Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
He has also had roles in Home Movies and BrainDead.
Brandon has also starred in numerous plays, including Much Ado About Nothing and The Crucible.
How long was Brandon Flynn dating Sam Smith?
In June 2018, The Sun revealed that the pair had split.
A source close to the Brit said: “Sam and Brandon had a real whirlwind romance. They really fell for each other.
“But they are both so busy with their careers and unfortunately things just haven’t worked out.
“Sam is obviously devastated. This is the most significant relationship he has ever had.
It’s not clear exactly when Brandon met singer Sam Smith, but they were spotted getting VERY cosy in New York in October 2017.
The former couple were snapped kissing and cuddling as they went shopping in the Big Apple.
The pair’s outing comes just weeks after Brandon came out and revealed he identifies as a part of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community.
Speaking about the recent same-sex marriage vote in Australia, the actor wrote: “Just saw the “vote no” message in the sky, looming over Sydney. Thank you for raising money and hiring on a plane to write your lack of support amongst the clouds.
“I hope your hate and lack of understanding fades, just like those words will.”
What are the rumours around Brandon Flynn and Richard Madden?
Many believe that Brandon is currently dating Richard Madden after the pair made a significant number of sightings together since March, 2019.
That same month, The Sun revealed how Madden had moved into Flynn’s Los Angeles home, having told the actor that he was determined to crack Hollywood.
And following his split with ex-girlfriend Ellie Bamber in December, 2018, the Game of Thrones star had every reason to make the bold move in moving across the pond.
“While out there, he also met Brandon who is a massive deal Stateside and very well connected,” a source gushed.
“They’ve been on several fun nights out together, and Brandon has introduced lots of his friends to Richard.

“He’s even offered him his home to stay at whilst Richard sets up meetings, and tries his hand in Hollywood.”
But when photos of the two with their arms around each other had surfaced online, fans were quick to believe that the famous actors were more than just close friends.
In July, Flynn attended the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where Madden had received his honorary doctorate, fuelling further speculation concerning their relationship.
Despite having avoided the topic in the past, in an interview with The New York Times, while promoting his movie Rocketman, Madden had told the publication: “I just keep my personal life personal.
“I’ve never talked about my relationships.”
