Presenting Esquire's Autumn issue cover star: Matt Smith. As the actor steels himself for the inevitable, internet-breaking attention that will arrive with House of the Dragon, HBO’s epic Game of Thrones prequel, Smith opens up about a career distinguished by commanding performances on screen — and chronic indecision off it. Elsewhere in the issue, our culture forecast predicts what might, and might not, be worth checking out as the evenings draw in. We also talk to Ezra Furman about her majestic new album, and provide a sneak preview of photographer Chris Floyd's forthcoming book. Read the cover story via the link in bio.
