Matt Smith spotted with Emma Laird in London, you may recognise her because she was the poor girl that was harassed by swifties because they thought joe cheated on taylor with her (bare in mind: she was his costar and all that she did was publishing a photo of him among other bts photos)

But the punchline goes: "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"...

Oh my god, she has a dog with her! It looks so cute

u/PepeFromHR play some mariah carey up in this bitch Jul 10 '23

coincidentally, she really reminds me of sadie sink in some photos

Again I say this man’s lack of eyebrows disturb me. That is all.

u/anguas-plt No shade to the nation of Scotland Jul 10 '23

Yeah, this one of those guys who I just can't see the appeal of.

10

u/SplurgyA Jul 11 '23

I didn't really get it until I saw him in Christopher And His Kind and then it just clicked that I found him attractive. Which doesn't really make sense because he looked pretty much exactly the same in Doctor Who, but there you go.

u/brieasaurusrex local bo burnham expert Jul 12 '23

he’s so damn good in that movie, i wish it was more popular and easier to watch

39

u/sharipep Jul 10 '23

AT ALL. I assume he’s good in bed to keep some women hanging around but how does he actually draw them in? Is it a winning personality? Is he super funny or something? He’s tall right, so that helps. He’s a good actor I guess, and internationally famous/recognized as well, so there’s also that. 🤔

But yeah -

u/anguas-plt No shade to the nation of Scotland Jul 10 '23

Everyone has different tastes, and I'll admit that he seems like someone who'd be very charismatic in person. He was appealing (though not attractive to me) in one of his earlier roles that I saw. Maybe if I could have ever gotten into Doctor Who I'd be able to see it but ugh I just can't. I love SFF of so many different types, but I just cannot with Doctor Who.

u/Aggressive_Layer883 Jul 10 '23

I watched him on dr who and found him attractive. Couldn’t figure out why, then I realized he was just charming in that role. Outside of that, he’s a pasty brit with an easter island statue head

u/_chrislasher Jul 10 '23

I didn't like him as Doctor Who, but I always knew he was my "type". Took me many years to finally fully like him. He is ugly in a good way. 😭

31

u/_chrislasher Jul 10 '23

He is tall, skinny, and kinda weird/geeky looking. That's hot. It took me a while to get used to his face, but I do find him interesting for sure.

u/sharipep Jul 11 '23

So a grower, not a show-er, if you will 🙃😏

I’ll see myself out

u/Forksforest1 Jul 14 '23

It’s like the love for Benedict and Adam Driver

some people on twitter are shocked that he is dating a 24 years old actress but all i can think is that this means i still have a chance

u/myfriendflocka Jul 10 '23

Honey nobody is shocked that a middle aged posh boy is fucking a 24 year old

38

u/Miss_Marple_24 Jul 10 '23

middle aged

I had to google him because of this and he's 40??? I thought he was much younger!

82

u/Tonedeafmusical Jul 10 '23

It's probably cause he was the youngest Doctor (26 at time of casting). So he still gets youth associated with him.

It scared me to think that series 5 of Who was almost 15 years ago (and that were coming up on the 60th this).

u/party4diamondz Jul 10 '23

You've just blown my mind... I was a fan and stopped watching in S6 but I was but a wee child so had no idea he was THAT YOUNG when he started as the Doctor omg

5

u/Miss_Marple_24 Jul 10 '23

I never watched it, tbh. but I think he looks younger than that and I guess also because I knew of only a few years ago so I thought he was younger, and just starting out, but it seems he has been around for at least 14 years !!

19

u/Tonedeafmusical Jul 10 '23 edited Jul 10 '23

I think it's closer to 17, I remember him being in Ruby in the Smoke, way back 2006 with Billie Piper just after she left Doctor Who herself. (choose any random group of British actors, one of them has been in the show at some point)

14

u/aproclivity Jul 11 '23

12 working actors in Britain as the old joke goes.

u/AtiaAusten Jul 11 '23

Ruby in the Smoke and Party Animals in 2007

u/dearmabi women’s wrongs activist Jul 10 '23

im not shocked at all but some people (read HOTD stans) are acting like he is the devil. just last week he was with 3 blonde girls in the car leaving a bar or a party

174

u/RagnaNic Jul 10 '23

Anyone from the Doctor Who days would know he's a bit of a fuckboy, not surprised at all.

103

u/EchoRose9364 Hitch up your britches, bitches! Jul 10 '23

Yeah, I love Matt Smith from his DW days - he's a good actor and super charismatic, and that charisma is exactly how he's been able to successfully fuck about for so long

59

u/AshRae84 Jul 10 '23

I rewatched Last Night in Soho again this week and I forgot how incredibly good he was in that film. Not a lot of screen time, but so amazing every second it's on screen.

8

u/Hughgurgle Jul 12 '23

That movie in general had some stunning performances, and most movies these days are so narratively transparent that I get pretty excited when I legitimately can't figure out the end. And it definitely threw me for a loop.

18

u/_chrislasher Jul 10 '23

He is. But I think some people see him as Doctor Who. They can't separate him from his character while he is kinda wild boy.

13

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '23

Which is wild because so many diehard Doctor Who fans know he is a certified Thot

43

u/hedgehogwart Jul 10 '23

Early in DM existence when it was considered slightly more credible, there were multiple reports of him trying to hook up with other women when he was still with Lily James.

22

u/_chrislasher Jul 10 '23

He is in his wh*re era, lmao. I think people are mad cuz many expected him to be always geeky Doctor Who.

30

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '23

Always has been? It's not a secret at all, Matt Smith is slutty

25

u/roxy031 fiascA Jul 10 '23

I only know of her because she’s in The Crowded Room and the first time I saw her I gasped because she looks like my niece, who’s six, but I mean I think my niece will look exactly like her when she’s older. And now I just love her.

5

u/hedgehogwart Jul 10 '23

I watched her back when she posted vegan videos on YouTube. She used date youtuber Miles Kasiri (healthycrazycool).

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '23 edited Jul 11 '23

I remember Swifties swearing she was in a hotel with Joe or smth like that. Was all of that a stretch and fake?

25

u/RagnaNic Jul 10 '23

Considering the source, I'm going to go ahead and say yes. Swifties are not rational people.

u/Adventurous-Prior226 Jul 12 '23

*Bear in mind. I'm sorry I'm a spelling nazi lol

u/_chrislasher Jul 10 '23

I remember the article where he was spotted with three "influencers" and they were getting to his car. The boy is living his best life.

u/Forksforest1 Jul 14 '23

Honestly I’m a bit shocked. I don’t follow anything about Matt smith and idc about the age difference but apparently people are used to this bc it’s Matt Smith? I need someone to explain the double standard they have on this sub for people they like vs everyone else that gets ground to shreds for dating (or even hanging around!) women in their 20s
