At New York Comic Con, Matt Smith humorously revealed his struggles with wigs while filming 'House of the Dragon', sharing insights from his experience and hinting at his preference for a simpler hairstyle. He also discussed the uncertainty surrounding the show's third season storyline.

In a recent panel at New York Comic Con, actor Matt Smith, famed for his role as Daemon Targaryen in 'House of the Dragon', recounted the challenges of working with wigs on set. Sharing the stage with fellow stars Tom Glynn-Carney and Fabien Frankel, Smith lightheartedly identified the unwieldy wigs, bald caps, and pins as the most demanding aspects of the production process.

Smith amusingly compared his two on-set experiences, referencing the 'Caught Stealing' project where he had consulted with makeup artists about possible alternatives to wigs. He shared with the audience, "And they're like, 'There is,'" emphasizing his quest for more comfortable solutions even as he navigates a variety of roles.

Amidst discussions of appearance, Smith and Frankel joked about adopting a shaved-head style to evade the cumbersome process altogether. The duo humorously acknowledged the luxuries of their predicament, with Smith referring to them as 'champagne problems.' Looking to the future, Smith admitted a lack of information on what lies ahead for 'House of the Dragon' following its second season's conclusion in August, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more news.
