Doctor Who's Matt Smith Channels David Bowie - Exclusive!

Matt Smith channels legendary rocker David Bowie in this new feature for Empire magazine’s October 2012 U.S. Edition issue, provided exclusively to JustJared.com for a first look!

Here is what the 29-year-old Doctor Who star had to share with the mag:

On the star he embodied for the shoot: “I’m a huge Bowie fan. I loved the Olympic Opening Ceremony because I thought, ‘How amazing, the plethora and heritage of music we have. Incredible! Wonderful!’”

On playing Doctor Who: “He does everything very quickly because he’s got to. Just carrying the energy I need to carry through the week does feed into your weekend somehow. I’m not great at resting and I’m not great at sleeping. It’s infuriating. I think because I learn lines ’til late at night my brain’s still ticking. I lie in bed and think, ‘Oh bollocks, I can’t sleep.’”
