It is no shock that I love Daemon Targaryen so much on House of the Dragon. He is sassy, overly dramatic, and someone who is ready and willing to fight at any chance afforded to him. Which makes his relationship with Rhaenyra so fascinating to unpack. But it was also seemingly such fun for actor Emma D’Arcy to be working with Matt Smith—which is maybe why their chemistry is so good!

D’Arcy was featured on the HBO Max Twitter account promoting the upcoming episode of House of the Dragon, and in their interview, they were talking about working with Smith and what it was like to not only learn from him but about his aura, as well. This isn’t the only time that D’Arcy has gushed about Smith in interviews; in most of their joint interviews with co-star Olivia Cooke, D’Arcy has something positive to say about the Doctor Who star.
