However some people confused Richard Madden for co-star Kit Harrington, who plays his half-brother on the show, with one saying: 'You know nothing about Tube etiquette, Jon Snow'.

But there were many comments in support of Madden, with some bloggers saying he was not actually taking up too much space, and as the 'King of the North' he was more than entitled to.

'Hey now. Robb Stark is the King of the North. He can take up as much space as he likes. When you play the game of underground seating you either win or die,' one user stated.

Another became more passionate in defence of Madden, saying: 'I hope someone just found this picture on the internet and submitted it because if you saw Richard F****** Madden on the train and took a picture because he was taking up too much room, what are you even doing?'

Since being uploaded on June 5, the image has received 520 notes by Tumblr users.

Richard - who is dating Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman - has thrown himself into film work since his time on Game Of Thrones came to an end.

He was last seen promoting A Promise with co-stars Rebecca Hall and Alan Rickman at Venice Film Festival. Madden's representative did not immediately respond to a MailOnline request for comment.
