Matt Smith swapped the silver screen for the pub scene on Sunday afternoon as he relaxed at a popular Camden watering hole.
The House of the Dragon star, 42, was seen at The Lord Stanley, enjoying a casual outing with Katie Gwyther, twin sister of Debbie Gwyther and future sister-in-law to Liam Gallagher.
A Cozy Afternoon With Friends
The pair weren’t alone, joining a wider group of friends as they whiled away the hours.
Their table, strewn with beer and wine glasses, suggested a leisurely afternoon.
Observers noted that Matt and Katie shared more than just drinks, with Katie draping herself across the actor while they chatted and laughed.
A Puff and a Nod to Nostalgia
True to his Oasis fandom, Matt even partook in a cigarette shared among friends, rolling with the moment in a relaxed manner.
The outing came after a busy summer in the world of Britpop, with the actor attending several of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s Oasis reunion shows.
Oasis and Cardiff Memories
Matt was at the band’s opening nights in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium back in July, mingling with Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais and calling the experience “amazing” in an interview with the Daily Mail.
In September, he even joined the band onstage at Wembley Stadium to perform the iconic Champagne Supernova, highlighting his long-standing admiration for the Britpop legends.
Celebrity Gatherings and Old Friendships
That same evening, he was among the celebrity guests at an exclusive party hosted by Noel at the Marylebone Chiltern Firehouse, an event also attended by Smith’s ex-girlfriend Lily James.
Matt has been connected to the Gallagher family for years, attending Noel’s 50th birthday in 2017 and appearing in the promotional video for High Flying Birds’ single We’re On Our Way Now in 2021.
Matt’s Love for Oasis Runs Deep
Discussing his involvement in the video, Noel recalled inviting Matt late one night: “As he was leaving at four in the morning I said, ‘Ey mate, you don’t fancy being in a video, do you?’ He said, ‘Yeah, no problem.’”
Noel added, “The second video follows on from this one, so he’s in the next one too.”
Matt has spoken about his enduring passion for Oasis, telling Desert Island Discs in 2018, “Oasis are the greatest rock and roll band in the world… they captured the ’90s.
Going to watch them twice at Milton Keynes Bowl, I just went, ‘woof, whatever that is, I’m having it.’”
He also praised their mix of defiance, rock and roll energy, and football-ness, even amid the Blur vs. Oasis rivalry.
Camden Outing Blends Nostalgia and Relaxation
Sunday’s Camden outing was a reminder that even a busy actor like Matt Smith makes time to enjoy simple pleasures—good drinks, friends, and a bit of musical nostalgia, proving his love for Oasis and the vibrant London pub scene is as strong as ever.
