Matt Smith<\/a> found it “difficult” filming ‘House of the Dragon’ without Emma D’Arcy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Matt Smith in House of the Dragon<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old actor portrays Prince Daemon Targaryen in the fantasy drama series and though his co-star – who uses they\/them pronouns – plays his on-screen wife Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, they have much fewer scenes together in the upcoming second season than they did in the first, and they both missed working together.<\/p>\n
Matt told Variety: \u201cIt was difficult to do it without them because I love them \u2014 a person of real depth and sardonic humour and fierce intellect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emma added: \u201cIt was kind of rubbish! The man has incredibly high standards, so you at least have a chance of the work being satisfying. I have petitioned for more time next season.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Matt did get to share a number of scenes with award-winning stage star Simon Russell Beale, who will play Ser Simon Strong, the guardian of Harrenhal, and they had “a hoot”.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cWe used to just have a hoot!<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe\u2019d say, \u2018Oh, darling, I\u2019m bored of this acting. Come in here for some light chitchat.\u2019 Amazing brain!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nMatt is unsure if the “sporadic, intense points of connection” that make for on-set relationships are particularly “healthy”.<\/p>\n
\nHe mused: “You\u2019re all working tirelessly to create something and that is intoxicating. But ultimately, is that a healthy thing? I don\u2019t know. Not according to therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe former ‘Crown’ actor admitted he needs to find more “balance” in his life when he’s working.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019m quite dedicated when I work, and it becomes a solitary experience. I probably need more balance. <\/p>\n
\n“I get tunnel vision \u2014 I don\u2019t think I make enough room for a life.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nThe British actor is still close to his former ‘Doctor Who’ co-star Karen Gillan.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019m so proud of her. She always had her eyes on the prize \u2014 she knew she wanted to move to L.A. and make big films, and she f****** did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
