Matthew Robert Smith is an English actor who is best known for his roles as the eleventh Doctor in the BBC series Doctor Who and Prince Philip in the Netflix series The Crown, for which he received a Primetime Emmy nomination.
Matt Smith does not have children. Matt Smith thinks fatherhood would make him less “self-involved”.
Matt Smith who has previously dated the likes of Lily James and Daisy Lowe – doesn’t have any children of his own, but he thinks it would change his entire outlook on life.
Reflecting on the impact of fatherhood, Matt shared: “I would imagine having children allows this all to fade away a bit. Because there just isn’t the time to w*** on and on.
There isn’t the time to be so self-involved, not if someone needs to go to school or they’ve got spaghetti hoops up their nose.”
He told Esquire: “I do think that’s what life is all about in the end. Children. Making a family. You know, when you’re dead, and you’re on the slab, that’s what’ll count.”
