Everyone ‘hated’ Matt Smith when he joined ‘Doctor Who’

LONDON, Nov 5:  Actor Matt Smith, who was cast in “Doctor Who” lead role, says he was not the most popular pick when he first won the role and people “hated” him.

The actor was just just 26 when he joined the show and became the youngest person ever to play the part, reported Digital Spy.

“When I first got the job all people would do was shout at me, ‘Don’t break Doctor Who!’ I was too young and everyone hated me,” Smith said.

However, his stint as ‘The Doctor’ ended up being a very successful one. (PTI)
