Matt Smith whose big break was in 'Doctor Who?' stars in HBO's one of the hugest projects of the year 'House of the Dragon' as Daemon Targaryen. As we know the predecessor series 'Game of Thrones' was popular for many things and one of them was the excessive sex scenes. Did you really expect 'House of the Dragon' to be a spin-off of 'GoT' and not have a decent amount of steamy scenes? You know that is not possible and Matt Smith confirmed that there are ample!

However, the new show's storyline is based 200 years before the timeline of 'Game of Thrones', thus it will focus on the house of Targaryens which the audiences wanted to learn more about. It is said that it will be filled with dragons and new adventures. To witness it yourself, stream the first episode which was released on Sunday, August 2, 2022, just on HBO Max.

In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, the 39-year-old actor confessed he questions if so many sex scenes are required. Don't believe it? Take a look.

"You do find yourself asking, ‘Do we need another sex scene?" says Smith. "And they’re like, ‘Yeah, we do.’ I guess you have to ask yourself: ‘What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we’re living in]?’ And I actually think it’s your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written." When the interviewer asked him if Daemon has a fair share of bed chamber scenes, he laughed and said, "Yeah - slightly too much, if you ask me." After this interview was released, fans speculated if it was because of the mysterious lover Smith has in his life. 

In May 2021, it was reported that Matt was dating Caroline Brady, the sister of 'The Queen’s Gambit' star Millie Brady. They only had a few degrees of separation before, as Millie co-starred with Anya Taylor-Joy in the Netflix series. Anya went on to star in 'Last Night In Soho' alongside Matt. Although they both do not acknowledge or deny it as they haven't been spotted together or said a word about their romantic relationship but a source told the Mail, "Last month, Millie’s friends were saying excitedly that her sister is seeing Matt Smith."

Previously, Matt was in an on-and-off relationship with Lily James for five years. Lily is an A-lister in her own right, starring in massive hits such as 2015’s 'Cinderella', 'Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again', 'Baby Driver', and Disney+’s recent series 'Pam & Tommy'. Before that, he was in a relationship with Mayana Moura, though the distance between the two allegedly ended the relationship.

A source told Mail, "Matt and Mayana adore each other, but the timing was not right and the relationship just ran its course. Matt has been up in Cardiff for the past few weeks filming and he will be in Wales for the next four months on a very grueling shoot as this job means the world to him."

However, Matt makes the headlines for 'House of the Dragon' for his stellar performance regardless of his dating life, and after the first episode was released fans turned Twitter into a fest. A fan wrote, "Some people acting like 'seeing Matt Smith's naked body traumatized me'. Why? He has a body like any other guy. You're just f**king weird."

Another fan commented, "Over the last 5 years I've just seen way too much of Matt Smith's naked body. What happened to being fully dressed sir? #HOTD"

One more fan said, "Did not need to see matt smith f**king"

Yet another fan mentioned, "Matt smith had no business looking that good oh god"
