He as Daemon Targaryen is just perfect

[dianasmith]

He seems like he is a really nice, down to earth man with a wicked sense of humor. I am glad he is finally getting the recognition he deserves and I hope his career just continues to go up.

Matt Smith has chemistry with literally everyone! He's so charismatic and such a talented actor.

[mary-amablankson]

I've been a huge fan of Matt since he played the 11th Doctor Who. He's a great and very charismatic actor.

It's so interesting to just watch Matt....he has charisma and knows how to act in public. Love the guy! And he is a great actor ❤️

[jessicaseeker]

Whenever i watch his interviews I just smile through the whole thing. He's the breath of fresh air. I just love him.❤️

[connie]

He is so charming and seems to be the type of person that would make you feel relaxed around them

[asniartirtarani]

Matt is really charming. charming to be honest. I find myself drowned in his charismatic charm. And when they answered to his 'is this boring' question, "No! No! Keep going" I FELT THAT

[ninaflo]

You could tell they genuinely enjoyed having him there. He really is a ray of sunshine wherever he goes 😊

[mars]

When he said "is this boring?" I shouted out "no no keep going"! 😂

[bondpenelopebond]

it's like all the work he's done in the past has led him to the role of Daemon Targaryen and it couldn't have been any more perfect. absolutely captivating performance. can't wait for more.

[genuinestar]

I WAS SMILING THE WHOLE VIDEO MY GOD HE REALLY IS A BALL OF SUNSHINE 😭❤️👑

[Thismamabear]

Matt's episodes were my FAVORITE out of the whole seasons. He did such a great job. That season was mainly about him which I loved.

[assassinarsh]

The way he looks at you... Matt Smith is stunning and so charismatic!

[Allaiya.]

Matt Smith did a great job as Prince Phillip and is prefect for Daemon!
He also makes a great weatherman 😂

[scrubthesurface]

This guy is unreal! I was devastated when I seen they replaced him in the 3rd season of the Crown. Due to age issues with the story going so fast...I absolutely loved him in the Crown. His Phillip was epic!

[nltoriola]

I'm currently rewatching The Crown and watching HoTD which is absolutely amazing. Matt Smith is a great actor!

[cindimams]

He’s killing it as Daemon 🐉 perfect Philip, and great actor all around.

[Ketoko]

Absolutely adore Matt Smith. Cannot wait for more of his roles

[trishabidesi]

Matt Smith is the Epitome of Class and Badassry all the same time 💓
