Thank you Harry Shum Jr. and Matt Daddario for being the PERFECT Malec!!
Still blows me away how amazing their chemistry is already after only 1 Season.
I know now that there’s no one else that could do these characters justice.
Thanks for bringing Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood to life and portraying them so beautifully. :)
I just wanted to appreciate this scene aurally. :)
‘Shadowhunters’ Harry Shum Jr. & Matthew Daddario Talk First Dates and the Future of ‘Malec’
We (Matt and I) knew and realized how important the scene was to both the book fans and people who’ve fallen in love with the show. Going into the date scene, we wanted Magnus and Alec to be grounded–that there’s a human element outside the fantasy. Yes, we’re playing a warlock and a shadowhunter, but we kept asking—can someone relate to two guys trying to figure out how to connect on a higher level than just attraction?
Anyone else still get giddy thinking about how we’ve been blessed with so many kisses?
I remember when this aired I could hardly believe it happened for the first little while.
Thank you, Harry Shum Jr, Matt Daddario and everyone responsible for bringing this beautiful couple to our TV screens. :) They make me happier than I could ever begin to describe (which may be sad, but it’s also true.)
Have fun kids. #Shadowhunters #HarryTakeover -Harry Shum Jr.
SHADOWHUNTERS - “Bound By Blood” - Clary is sidelined by Iris’ blood oath, while the Downworld begins to fall apart, in “Bound By Blood,” an all-new episode of “Shadowhunters,” airing MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27 (8:00 - 9:01 p.m. EST), on Freeform. (Freeform/John Medland)HARRY SHUM JR.
We broke 9000 a little while ago, and in 3 days we’ll have been online for 4 months.
I never expected there’d be so many of you in that amount of time. It blows my mind.
I just made this blog so I would have hopefully one or two fans to spazz with when the show aired.
Just wanted to take a moment to first thank the cast of Shadowhunters (Harry Shum Jr and Matt Daddario especially) and all of you for putting up with my nonsense and ramblings in order to get to the goodies. xD
<3
Harry Shum Jr is a treasure.
Seriously.
Sometimes I just sit there watching a scene in complete awe of how absolutely PERFECT he is as Magnus Bane.
This can’t be just me.
(He’s an amazing actor.)
KSITETV’s CRAIG BYRNE: How did you and Alan Van Sprang prepare for playing each other’s characters?
HARRY SHUM JR.: We just talked about it, and we discussed, I think, more of what we didn’t want to happen, as opposed to what we wanted to happen. I trust him, and I think the directors and producers trusted us to take good care of this, and I think for us, the things that we didn’t want to fall into were the tropes of, like, “oh, body swapping, let’s impersonate each other” and wink at the camera for the audience. We wanted to play it as real as possible of what it would be, with these characters, especially how manipulative Valentine is, and how everyone is not going to trust him, because he would go to that extent with pretending to be someone else to get out of that situation. And while Magnus is a very particular character, he is known to be this flamboyant, eccentric warlock, so people don’t really think twice.
