As in the show, in real life Karen and Matt Smith are great friends, going to gigs together in Camden and hanging out in each other’s Cardiff hotel rooms in the evenings, eating hummus and oat cakes, watching YouTube and getting up to mischief, even though both have partners - Matt is going out with the model Daisy Lowe and Karen has been with the photographer Patrick Green and his tortoise Brian for over five years. ‘Matt and I do stay in character a lot when we’re filming, without even realising it. The lines blur; the way we interact in real life is sometimes a lot like the way we interact in the show. To be honest, a lot of the time we act like lunatics, dancing, keeping the energy up. The show is high-octane, and I am quite hyper anyway.’ by Karen Gillan interview - http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/article-23985088-how-karen-gillan-went-from-sexy-sidekick-to-super-siren.do (via mattsmith-karengillan)
