Matt Smith’s brows are rarely, if ever, present
The constant discussion about Smith’s receding brows began in late 2011 or early 2012 when everyone noticed the actor for his appearances in Doctor Who. And it quickly escalated.
Following that, questions such as “Does Matt Smith have no brows?” arose.
Some concerned fans immediately inquired, “Does Matt Smith have a disease?” But don’t worry, the actor appears to be disease-free.
So, what’s the deal with Matt Smith’s brows? After some internet users first pointed out Smith’s missing brows, fans began to search his name and couldn’t believe it was true.
And if you do the same, you’ll notice that in some of his photos, he has full brows, whereas, in others, he has no brows at all. Similarly, his brows can be seen in some of the images.
Fans aren’t the only ones who have noticed Smith’s missing brows; some celebrities have as well. Karen Gillan, his Doctor Who co-star, is one of them.
In one of her 2014 interviews, the Scottish actress was asked when she first noticed Smith’s brows were receding.
In her own words, her response was shocking and hilarious: “What do you mean started? They never showed up.”
What exactly causes Smith’s eyebrows to appear and disappear is a mystery that has yet to be solved.
And, given that the topic has been ongoing since 2012, it is possible that it will remain in the same state for a long time.
Twitter and Reddit users react to Matt Smith’s brows
When HBO Max released exclusive images from the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon in May 2021, fans were once again discussing Smith’s missing brows.
On May 5, 2021, for example, a Twitter user retweeted a photo of Smith and Emma D’Arcy and wrote, “Matt Smith’s brows have finally fled this mortal plane.”
Similarly, when a new teaser for the upcoming show was released on October 5, 2021, a Twitter user took a screenshot of Smith’s character and wrote, “I didn’t think Matt Smith could have less eyebrows, but Game of Thrones somehow did it.”
And the saga of the actor’s brows has raged on for years, with one user tweeting in January 2015, “Matt Smith’s brows spend 100% of their time not on his face.”
Smith has Britain’s most invisible brows, according to the same user in September 2015.
“Matt Smith has no brows; why has this never been brought to my attention before,” said another user in September 2019.
Aside from Twitter, there have been numerous discussions on the same topic on Reddit.

In a January 2012 Reddit thread, the creator posted a picture of Smith’s brows swapped with David Tennant’s and said, “My brain doesn’t know how to react.”
One person commented on the thread, “I have never noticed Matt Smith doesn’t really have eyebrows… when did this happen?”
“I experienced the same thing. “I had to look up Smith after seeing this,” another user responded.
Another Reddit user commented that they now understand why Smith has such a large forehead.
Another user commented, “Today I realized Matt Smith hardly has eyebrows.”
Many Redditors, on the other hand, had commented that they didn’t like the original creator’s idea of giving Tennant’s brows to Smith and vice versa because it scared them.
“Matt Smith scares me right now,” wrote one Redditor.
