In the court of io9 I too am guilty of find Daemon Targaryen himself , Matt Smith , surprisingly attractive . For me it happened somewhere betweenLast Night in Sohoand his dance sequence inMorbius . Maybe there were hints of it in The Crown but never really occurred to me when he was the Eleventh Doctor inDoctor Who . bighearted and earnest , yes . Hottie ? Not until he entered his villain era .
Sure , it ’s straiten for House of the Dragon executive manufacturer and writer Sarah Hess that Smith has become the net ’s boyfriend for reason wholly different than during his Doctor Who geological era . She tell theHollywood Reporter , “ Not that Matt is n’t fantastically charismatic and marvelous , and he ’s incredible in the function . But Daemon himself … I do n’t want him to be my boyfriend ! I ’m a small baffled how they ’re all , ‘ Oh , daddy ! ’ And I ’m just like : ‘ Really ? ’ How — in what elbow room — was he a serious partner , father or brother — to anybody ? You got me . He ai n’t Paul Rudd . ” Respectfully , we disagree .
Smith may finally be on the road to succeed sexiest human race alert ( a form of address Rudd ’s won ) , despite whatever other barbarity Daemon is about to trust . The sheer surprise of Smith turn heel seems to be really doing it for audiences — even more specifically , the manner in which his playact prowess occupy his moody - haired leading military man looks and shifted into a dementedly charming blanched - hirsute prince , who should be by all count unreformable . He killed his married woman but by the metre he singlehandedly slayed an U. S. Army and Crabfeeder we all but forgot .

And yet he ’s what cyberspace slang phone a “ Babygirl Meow Meow ” to fix ( not in earnest , I hope ) . Smith has break from a goody - treat , Pisces - finger’s breadth - and - custard - eating meter - traveling champion with a TARDIS to a finger - cutting madman who stomps through human custard for his family unit ’s name on a dragon . The only competition he ’s got is fellow catastrophe bi Lestat from Interview with the Vampire .
condone the cringe , but he ’s BAE - mon Targaryen now . He ’s so speculative it ’s sick and we ca n’t get enough of it .
House of the Dragon tune Sunday on HBO and streams on HBO Max .
