Since childhood, Smith was fond of football. His father, a former professional footballer, instilled in him a love for this sport. As Matt grew up, he played for the junior soccer team. But a spinal injury, which Smith received at the age of 16, put an end to his professional sports career.

Parents did everything possible to cure their son - he recovered, but the doctors forbade him to play football. For Matt, the trauma, long recovery period and the taboos on training became stressful - the guy fell into depression. A leader by nature, he could not stay idle for a long time.

A longer relationship connected Matt with model Daisy Lowe - they dated for almost a year and a half, but also broke up.

In June 2014, Matt Smith appeared at the Cannes Film Festival with Lily James - journalists immediately attributed an affair to the couple. And they were right.
