DW - Karen Gillan interviews Matt Smith

If you want to see an interview with a difference take a look at Karen Gillan interviewing Matt Smith!
Before the current series started we caught up with Matt and Karen and instead of us firing questions at them we asked Karen to do the honours which she did in her own charming and unique style!
Later this week we'll bring you the video of Matt interviewing Karen but in the meantime, here's Matt Smith's views on everything from scary monsters to going out dressed as the Doctor!

[@evanbacon1917]

Matt: "He loves travelling around with beautiful women." Karan: "Uuhhhh" Matt: "With the exception."

[@DK-hc7rb]

matt smith = savage

[@godofbears8472]

Evan Bacon that was a dick move but funny

[@mandalorianscum1138]

You don't even joke about that goddess!

[@coloneljackmustard]

She's become too Americanized these days. I liked her better back in the day around 2010, when she was more Scottish. And I say this as an American...

[@killrkiddx007]

@@coloneljackmustard as american i can agree with you as well..

[@drlovebutton]

I'm actually torn between Ten and Eleven. David had a furious insanity to him that was brilliant, but Matt portrayed the genius of The Doctor with little quirks that was equally brilliant.

[@NeaEmrys]

They were both absolutely fantastic - I'm so scared for the 12th. But in a good way, I suppose. :)

[@everettrailfan]

Honestly, David was great until his regeneration. It came across to me as being extremely narcissistic.

[@mars_mallow_]

11 all the way

[@Josh-kt6jh]

EverettAviation wait what? Narcissistic... seriously. He was one of the few doctors to truly make the viewers feel what it’s like from the perspective of the doctor to regenerate. David’s Doctor is categorically dead, the doctor himself will always live, but they’re all just reincarnations with all the memories restored each time he changes. So for him to die, having lost so much in that reincarnation, and having so much left to do, only to die due to a stupid mistake made by a close friend. It’s heartbreaking, and in my opinion he earned the right to draw that out a bit.

[@Loveinthe808]

I concur!!

[@DonutToast]

Its true... He can't tell something without flapping his hands! XD

[@bookwoman53]

I guess that if Karen wants to make him stop prattling on she needs to hold his hands. It will look like it’s a romantic act but that time it will not be.

[@jonathanblake6130]

John Hurt was right!

[@priscillateo1691]

I love his hands flapping!

[@kellysimons4269]

Matt smith keeps asking karen: Do you like me? How long have you had a crush on me? We all figured out that matt has a MASSIVE crush on karen

[@linasayshush]

He acts EXACTLY like a pre-teen with a crush... "With the exception" We can see right through you Matthew

Matt: doctor travels with pretty girls- Karen: awwww Matt: *points to karen* with the exepction

[@VickyTV]

Crazy how identical his personality is to the doctor, even his movements

[@larsswig912]

It's actually not crazy at all lol, it's very easy to play roles that are very similar to you in personality But no hate for Matt, I love the 11th Doctor :D Matt is a lot more calm than the Doctor tho.

[@mayganphynix8267]

@@larsswig912 that is exactly what I thought when he first regenerated. I was slightly annoyed bc compared to #10, I thought he was too calm. lol.

[@priscillateo1691]

The Doctor grew on him. He was living and loving the Doctor and so it’s natural he took on some quirky movements but unconsciously. That being said, Matt is slightly calmer than the Doctor. But the flapping of hands and that joyous smile is definitely Matt!! ❤

Ikr! It was probably one of worst discussions just Matt let it grow out to where it was in this video and leave it you look way better with the hair you have in this video then now

[@The12345678910fat]

Emily Smith He didn't cut his hair because he wanted to, he actually loved his hair a lot. He was told to cut it because he was going to be a in a new movie, so he HAD to cut his hair. He did mention now, that he will let his hair grow back now.

[@palmtree1958]

+Sky Dreamers God i love it when his hair's long and floppy and he wears those slightly baggy jean jackets holy hell

[@epicgravity9087]

He had to cut it for a film. He didn't want to. And I think him with a shaved head is much better than David's dumb braid

You just made that up.

[@agramsci]

Saying "Tom Baker" would be so easy. And Matt admitted that he'd never watched the series before he was cast. So for him to pick Patrick Troughton is really, really brilliant. A bit mad, a bit awkward...yes, well done, Matt.

A question I have asked of Star Trek, Space 1999, Star wars and now Doctor who: In the TARDIS, where is the bathroom? Do you open the door as you're in the time vortex and let it fly for all and sundry? ... I'd do that...

[@Nerdstrategy]

I think it would depend on how urgent you need to go. just like the swimming pool moves in the tardis the save river song from falling if you had to go really bad you could have the tardis shift it close by

[@eline8087]

With all the weird yet amazing things the TARDIS can do... I'm sure there's a toilet somewhere. Maybe the TARDIS does something chemical to the waste, or it dematerializes it (I mean, if it can do that to people (doctor's wife)...), deletes it somehow, or maybe does something funny with it. I think it should be one of the very first questions of a new companion, really. XD I'd be one of my first questions, I'm sure of it.
