Fans Are Desperately Trying To Crack the Secret Of Daemon's Targaryen Sex Appeal
To say Matt Smith has nothing to do with it would be a complete lie.
Ever since House Of The Dragon premiered on HBO, both Game Of Thrones fans, and hardcore stans of Doctor Who went head over heels for Matt Smith portraying one of the warrior Targaryens.
Daemon won over fans' hearts despite not being the nicest of the characters.
Some argue that the complexity of a character is exactly what makes him so appealing to the fans. Just like in real life, you probably won't really trust a person without any flaws, let alone be attracted to them.
Someone with a shorter temper, confident in themselves, and strong, both mentally and physically, seems to be more fitting for a lover. Besides, everyone likes a good old character development arc.
Let's also agree on the fact that House Of The Dragon writers set up the character to be a show-stopper. The viewer was told that Daemon is a star and a walking magnet for women, so many just went with it – no further convincing needed.
"I think for a lot of folks, there's something thrilling and attractive about people who live a "dangerous" life and only show tenderness for certain people," Redditor couerdeceanothus said, making a great point that the gender could've been changed but the appeal would stay.
The Femme fatale is a popular trope for a reason, we've all been guilty of falling for it at least once.
Of course, the most popular answer to the question about Daemon's attractiveness would simply be Matt Smith himself.
With his charisma levels and the ability to pull off everything, including the white long-haired wig, it's no surprise so many fans fell for him after the very first appearance.
Thankfully, we're set to see so much more Daemon action in season 2 of House Of The Dragon, which is already confirmed to release. The filming just started this March, so prepare for the long waiting game.
