But Richard Madden, 32,put any personal woes behind him as he arrived for the star-studded Critics' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The acclaimed Scottish actor is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his lead role in Bodyguard, a category he is favourite to win after scooping a Golden Globe a week ago.

Richard has some stiff competition in the form of Matthew Rhys for The Americans, Milo Ventimiglia for This Is Us and Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk, but the hunk could make it another win for the 2019 awards season following his triumph at the Golden Globes.
The star looked dapper for his big night at Barker Hangar in a double breasted velvet blazer and a sharp bow tie by Giorgio Armani.
Richard was without girlfriend Ellie at both the Globes and Critics' Choice amid reports of their split following an 18 month relationship.
The actor, 32, and his girlfriend, 21, are believed to have gone through a rocky patch where they 'argued every day' but have now split after deciding that their problems weren't fixable.

The couple, who were once rarely seen without one another, have apparently become 'worlds apart' following Richard's acting success, an insider told the Sun this weekend.
The source added that the split has come as a huge blow to Richard and Ellie, but they believe the decision is in their best interests.
They told the news outlet: ‘They were arguing almost daily towards the end and, despite considering couples’ therapy, it became evident there were far too many issues that could not be fixed.

‘Richard is the toast of Hollywood at the moment, and understandably wants to let his hair down.
‘Ellie is a bit quieter, and wants to focus purely on her work. It felt like their day-to-day lives were increasingly becoming worlds apart.'
MailOnline have contacted Richard's and Ellie's reps for comment.
