Matt Smith has been captivating audiences with his portrayal of the complex and formidable Daemon Targaryen in the hit series ‘House of The Dragon.’ His intense and powerful performance has earned him widespread acclaim since the show’s first season. But before he rose to fame as a celebrated actor, Matt Smith had a much humbler beginning.
In a revealing interview with Milly Alcock, who plays young Rhaenyra in ‘House of The Dragon,’ Matt Smith shared details about his life before acting. When Milly asked him about his first job, Matt recounted his experience working at an English pub named Rat & Parrot. He didn’t specify his exact role, but he did share a memorable and rather unglamorous incident from his first day on the job.
Just as he started working, a severely ill customer arrived at the pub and vomited on the floor. It fell to Matt to grab a mop and bucket and clean up the mess, a task far removed from his future stardom.
Rising to Fame
This unappealing job was long before Matt Smith became a household name. Today, he is widely recognized for his talent and versatility in various acclaimed productions. Before ‘House of The Dragon,’ he gained fame for his roles in the iconic sci-fi series ‘Doctor Who’ and the award-winning drama ‘The Crown.’
