Matt Smith was reportedly stopped by airport customs for carrying the Doctor Who sonic screwdriver.
According to The Sun, the Eleventh Doctor was pulled to one side at Heathrow airport when the scanner showed the prop in his hand luggage.
"Matt's a huge fan of the screwdriver so didn't think anything of carrying it with him on the plane," a source told the tabloid.
"It's basically just a fake prop and doesn't exactly do much. But going through the X-ray scanner it probably looks like a weapon, albeit something you'd see in Star Wars."
The source added: "Matt was very polite and explained what the screwdriver was. But the guards just looked puzzled. Fortunately he had some Doctor Who promo material on him so was able to show them who he was.
"Once the penny dropped and they had a proper look at the screwdriver, they let him through."
