Matt Smith doesn’t want River Song to become a full-time companion on ‘Doctor Who’ – because she’s the one person who makes The Doctor go “whoa”.
The 28-year-old actor – who plays the titular Time Lord in the sci-fi series – loves shooting scenes with Alex Kingston, who portrays the archaeologist, but he thinks the character would lose her shock value if she become a permanent inhabitant of the TARDIS.
He told BANG Showbiz: “I think River’s too independent to ever be a full-time companion, I think that’s what makes River great as a character. The companions and The Doctor are doing their thing then whoosh in comes the hair!
“It just messes the Doctor up and makes him go, ‘Oh Christ, River’s here,’ and it frightens him. And weirdly he’s going, ‘Why the hell am I attracted to her? What’s that?’ That’s the woman who makes him go whoa.”
Just as he loves the character River, Matt also has nothing but praise for Alex and admits she took him under her wing when he first joined ‘Doctor Who’.
He said: “I love Alex Kingston deeply. She’s just a wonderful actress and a great friend.

After effortlessly proving the doubters and the ‘Doctor Who?’ headlines wrong, Matt Smith is a man in demand. Not that he likes to boast about it, as ShortList’s Jonathan Pile discovers
Matt Smith is a man to envy. His tenure as the Doctor has been universally lauded, he gets to refer to model Daisy Lowe as “my lady” and, as he proves while leaning casually against an Aston Martin — his chosen motor to front our car special — he looks great in a suit.
He’s also one of a group of young Brits (along with the likes of Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch and Jim Sturgess) with the potential to conquer the acting world. And with this kind of success comes the obvious perks: a constant blur of exclusive parties in exotic locales, surrounded by beautiful people, with expensive champagne flowing endlessly into crystal goblets. But don’t take our word for it. Let the 28-year-old actor himself revel in his decadent lifestyle.
“I’m up at 6am, work all day, get back at 8pm, prepare for the next day, eat hummus and go to bed. I work nine months of the year, and it’s quite solitary in Cardiff.”
Oh. To be honest, that’s not exactly how we pictured it.
