House of the Dragon fans gobsmacked as Matt Smith strips naked for raunchy scene

House of the Dragon fans certainly got an eyeful during the first episode of the Game of Thrones spin-off as actor Matt Smith stripped completely naked.

Set two centuries before Game of Thrones, the new series which aired on August 21 certainly wasted no time in delving straight into the action.

Despite Matt, 39, previously admitting he wasn't fond of the number of sex scenes in the new Sky Atlantic series, fans, however, couldn't quite believe their luck.

In the opening episode, Matt's character Daemon Targaryen, prince of the House of Targaryen was seen having sex with Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) in a brothel.

She was comforting Daemon who had not long discovered that his brother, King Viserys had decided to cut him out of the line of succession.

Just moments after the graphic scene aired, fans flocked to social media to share their thoughts as they couldn't quite believe what they were witnessing.

"House of the Dragons spoiler very NSFW. Did I just see Matt Smith's penis?" asked one.

While a second went on to pen: "Matt Smith really did that sex scene THAT way, wow so powerful of him."

"Matt Smith sex scene, I choked on my taco," exclaimed a third.

Before another went on to type: "Matt Smith sex scene literal JUMP SCARE, my poor eyes."

"I'll never forgive House of the Dragon for making me watch Matt Smith have sex," added a fifth.

Matt reflected on his new role during an interview with Rolling Stone UK, saying: "You do find yourself asking, 'Do we need another sex scene?'

"And they're like, 'Yeah, we do,' I guess you have to ask yourself: 'What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we're living in]?'

"And I actually think it's your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written."

But reflecting on the number of X-rated scenes he had, the actor grinned before adding: "Slightly too much if you ask me."

Over the course of ten episodes, viewers will see a destructive civil war which is known as the Dance of the Dragons.

Reflecting on scenes which see him flying on a winged dragon, he told Variety: "You're on a remote control, and someone's there moving it around, and then they fire a load of wind and rain at you.

"[It] beats working for a living."

House of the Dragon airs on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.
