The former Doctor Who is a household name - but has some very strong links to our corner of the world
Most of you have probably heard of Matt Smith - the star of the new Game of Thrones prequel and the 11th Doctor in the Doctor Who series.
According to reports, this instilled many of the principles that he lives by today. Some of these include his beloved football team, Blackburn Rovers which Matt is widely known to be a huge supporter.He was also once tipped to become a professional player before an injury put a stop to this career path. As he once previously told the BBC, his father instilled the idea that if Matt was going to do something, then he'd do it properly - a good old Lancashire ethos some people may argue.
The red carpet premiere for the show took place in London's Leicester Square last Monday - with a clip emerging from an interview where Matt refers to his Northern origins. In it, TikTok and social media influencer Max Balegde, who hails from Darwen himself excitedly asks Matt about where he's from.
