Richard Madden has gone and dropped an adorable throwback to his first day of school, and we just can’t cope.

Taking to Instagram, the 33-year-old shared a picture of himself around the age of four, looking slightly unsure as he perched next to his mum, Pat.

And while he poked fun at his uniform in the caption, The Bodyguard star made sure to praise his mum’s outfit – because let’s be serious, she was serving all the looks.

He wrote: ‘#TBT to my first day of school. Equal measures of worry and attitude, not much changed since… Love you mum – STYLE! #fashionweek.’




The star added: ‘(I’m wearing shorts I didn’t forget my trousers).’

Though that would be quite the story!

Right on cue, his post sent fans into meltdown, as they couldn’t get over how ‘cute’ he looked.

‘Like a Little Prince,’ one wrote in the comments, as another added: ‘An absolute cutie pie.’

Others were more concerned about his choice of pants, and teased the star over his lack of trousers.

The snap also caught the eye of Richard’s Rocketman co-star Taron Egerton, who said: ‘Pat, the absolute gangster,’ while the pair’s stylist Gareth Scourfield trolled Richard, adding: ‘You haven’t changed’.

Richard is currently filming for the upcoming Marvel movie Eternals, which he’ll star in alongside Angelina Jolie and Kit Harington.

Just recently, he spoke about being reunited with the Game Of Thrones star, who played his brother in the medieval fantasy epic.

During his appearance at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, he said: ‘It’s brilliant – it’s been about 10 years since we’ve worked together, I think.

‘So we’ve moved on a bit onto different things, so I’m really excited to get back on set.’

The pair first worked together on the HBO hit seeing Richard’s character Rob Stark killed off in season three – yes, we’re still not over it.

However, this didn’t harm his career as the Hollywood giant reached new levels of fame in The Bodyguard and Elton John’s biopic Rocketman.
