00:00Matt Smith admits to questioning whether HBO's highly anticipated series House of the Dragon
00:05is a bit steamier than necessary. In a new interview with British Rolling Stone,
00:10the actor who plays Prince Daemon Targaryen discussed the sex scenes in the Game of Thrones
00:15prequel series. Thrones itself previously spurred debate over its own sexualized content.
00:21You do find yourself asking, do we need another sex scene? And they're like, yeah, we do.
00:25I guess you have to ask yourself, what are you doing? Are you representing the books
00:29or are you diluting the books to represent the time we're living in?
00:32Smith, who said he had read some but not all of the lengthy Fire and Blood,
00:36was asked whether his character has a fair share of sexy scenes, to which he replied,
00:40yeah, slightly too much if you ask me. Elsewhere, Smith also discussed the reception of his recent
00:45film Morbius, which currently holds a mere 16% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:51About the Jared Leto starring movie, he noted, yeah, it was thrown under the bus,
00:54but you just have to roll with it. What else are you going to do? It's a film at the end of the day.
00:58We're not saving lives. For whatever reason, it didn't quite work out. And it is what it is.
