Daemon Targaryen, the villain from “House of the Dragon,” has become a viral sensation. also, the makers don’t know why.
Sarah Hess thinks the overwhelming support for Daemon online is inexplicable in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
For reasons that escape me, he’s become Internet Boyfriend,” Hess remarked. That’s not to say that Matt isn’t tremendously charming and wonderful; he’s really superb in the part. But Daemon alone is… I wouldn’t want him as my boyfriend!
It seems that the internet would disagree with you…
One of the best parts of the show is Matt Smith’s portrayal of Daemon Targaryen.
Although he isn’t the worst companion ever, he’s hardly the best either. After all, he may have recently defended Rhaenyra, his current wife, but he murdered his former wife for no other reason than it was more convenient. Brutal.

“Oh, daddy!” they all exclaim, which has Hess scratching his head. My reaction is simply, “Really?” Was he ever a nice partner, father, or brother? I see what you’re doing. No, he’s not Paul Rudd.
Fans of Game of Thrones have been enamored with Daemon ever since his debut, and for some, that fascination has only grown as Daemon has taken increasingly questionable activities.
Also, Clare Kilner, a fellow producer, understands to an extent.
When asked what she thought made the characters interesting, she remarked, “I really love the idea people are so interested in them.” The person you like today may not be the person you like tomorrow. Actually, I wasn’t shocked to hear that.
You really can’t help but be charmed by Matt because he takes such calculated risks in his performances and because he always wears that adorable grin. His charisma is undeniable. The public has a soft spot for villains. However, I do not believe he is a nice brother or a decent father.
Still, the next season finale of Daemon looks like it might be a little… hard for viewers.
A new aspect of him will emerge, Hess promised. We’re currently writing Season 2 and trying to answer the question, “What is his relationship like with Rhaenyra?” George R. R. Martin’s novel Fire and Blood can be interpreted in a variety of ways.
