Are skier Gus Kenworthy, 'Game of Thrones' actor the same person?

Michelle R. Martinelli | For The Win

As Winter Olympians rise to fame among mainstream sports fans, it's easy to draw parallels between them and other famous people - like how fans can't decide if curler Matt Hamilton looks more like Chiefs coach Andy Reid or Super Mario.

Now, it's Gus Kenworthy's turn.

People on the internet recently realized that the skier looks strikingly similar to actor Richard Madden, who is most famously known for playing Robb Stark on Game of Thrones. Once Kenworthy and Madden were identified as each other's doppelgängers, it didn't take long for people to insist they might actually be the same person.

Of course, they're definitely (probably) not the same person, but that didn't stop Kenworthy from also jumping in on the joke.
