Karen Gillan: ‘Matt Smith inspires me’
December 17th, 2010 | filed in: Doctor Who

Karen Gillan has admitted that she feels inspired by her Doctor Who co-star Matt Smith.

She told Shortlist that Smith’s “driven” nature is key to the show’s success.

“I’ve never met someone so focused and he never slacks off,” she claimed. “His approach to acting is really creative. Rather than just reeling off the lines, he changes it every time.”

The actress added that she and Smith would often joke together between takes.

“He takes it very seriously, but that’s not to say it’s not fun,” she explained. “In fact, part of our taking it seriously is messing around… because I feel like it’s us staying in character and being silly.”

The Doctor Who one-off special ‘A Christmas Carol’ will air on Christmas Day on BBC One in the UK and on BBC America in the US.
