Matthew Daddario

For the first time, American actor Matthew Daddario appeared on screens in 2012. During the five-year period, he made a meteoric rise to the cinema Olympus. Starring for Matt was the role of Alec Lightwood in the fantasy series Shadowhunters.

The Shadowhunter star was born in 1987 in New York. Matthew Daddario is in love with his city and feels like an integral part of the Big Apple. The guy has repeatedly admitted that he will not exchange the bustle of multimillion New York for any heavenly place on the planet.

The actor grew up in a family of successful New York lawyers. Matthew is the second of Daddario's three children. He has two sisters: the eldest, Alexandra Daddario, is a famous actress, the youngest Katherine is thinking about acting.

In the veins of Matthew Daddario, multinational blood was mixed: the ancestors of the artist came from Italy, Hungary, Britain, Germany and Ireland. Emigrants and settlers settled in America, which became their homeland for their children and grandchildren.

The boy found creativity as a child: Growing up on the East Side, Matthew attended auditions and auditions for roles in commercials for Amazon Kindle and Burger King, barely learning to speak.

But the reason why my mother encouraged her son's acting was not a desire to see the boy on the screen, but to teach him to talk, to feel relaxed when communicating with people.

Matthew Daddario never dreamed of becoming an artist. After graduating from high school, he became a student at Indiana University in Bloomington, where he studied business. But watching the life of his sister Alexandra, who boldly embodied the childhood dream of becoming a film actress, Matt pondered.

In his last year, the guy realized that he was not interested in his future profession: the scene, the shooting area, attracted much more. In 2010, having received a university degree, Daddario was not looking for work in his specialty - he went to auditions and auditions.

The cinematic biography of Matthew Daddario began with the role of Peter Humble in the short film with the self-explanatory title Debut. The film was released in 2012 and opened the aspiring actor to directors and producers.

The following year, Daddario was invited to the lead role in Drake Doremus's melodrama "Full Breasts." The actor appeared on the screen in the company of famous colleagues Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones and Mackenzie Davis. The film premiered in July 2013 in Ireland and brought recognition to Daddario.

In the same breakthrough for Matthew's film career in 2013, the actor starred in the thriller “36 Saints” by Eddie Durand and the American comedy melodrama “Good Father”. On the Rotten Tomatoes website, the comedy received negative reviews, the box office did not cover the investment in the project, but the experience of working with Vince Vaughn for Matthew Daddario was useful.

In 2014, the American actor's filmography grew with two films: the comedy "Growing Up and Another Lies" and the sports-biographical drama "Playing at the Height", directed by Thomas Carter based on real events.

This is the story of a football coach who turned an obscure school team into a star team. The main character - coach Bob Laduser - was played by James Caviezel, famous for his role of Jesus Christ in the drama "The Passion of the Christ". Matthew Daddario played Danny Laduser, the coach's son.

In September 2015, the premiere of the romantic drama Those Who Can't Kiss took place in Brazil, in which Daddario appeared in the frame with Victoria Justice and Pearson Fod. But a wave of fame covered Matthew in 2016.

A film adaptation of Eli Roth's famous thriller "Fever", directed by Travis Zarivna, has been released. The main trio in "horror" was played by Matthew Daddario, Gage Golightly and Samuel Davis. But it was not this project, but the fantasy series "Shadowhunters" that turned the American into a star of American cinema.

Initially, Daddario claimed the role of Jace Wayland, but the author of the book series Cassandra Clare, after seeing the footage, pointed to Matthew as the perfect Alec. The producers only need to listen to the writer and give Daddario the role of Alec. Dominic Sherwood was cast as Jace. Clarissa Fairchild (Clary) was played by Katherine McNamara, and the role of Magnus Bane went to Harry Sham.

The first season of the series premiered in January 2016. The filming of the project took place in Toronto, Canada. The Shadowhunters is a remake of The Mortal Instruments. City of Bones ”, filmed in 2013. But unlike the disastrous film, the series received an enthusiastic audience and warm reviews from film critics.

It is noteworthy that earlier Matthew Daddario auditioned for the role in Mortal Instruments. City of Bones ”, but did not receive an invitation. So the offer to play Shadowhunters turned out to be a pleasant compensation for the failure in 2013. The first season of the series consists of 13 episodes, each episode lasting an hour.

Matthew Daddario, elated with success, did not rest on his laurels: the actor thought about career development and is taking directing courses. In the near future, Matt plans to try his hand at directing and shoot a debut short film. The legendary Harrison Ford, who played Indiana Jones and Han Solo, became an example of Daddario's star colleagues.

Fans of Matt claim that their idol is like a seraphim: he is tall (1.90 meters), piercing brown eyes and blue-black hair. The handsome man has an impressive army of female fans. But who lives in the heart of Matthew Daddario is a mystery.

For a long time, the actor has been dating the American model Esther Kim. But during the filming of "Shadowhunters", where Daddario and Harry Shum played a couple of lovers, the paparazzi captured the actors together in a nightclub. The passionate kiss of the two guys caught in the frame caused a storm of rumors.

Matthew and Harry started talking about their orientation, calling the guys gay, although at this time Daddario was dating Esther, and Sham was married to dancer and actress Shelby Rabar. It is not known how Matt's girlfriend reacted to the juicy news, but the actors do not comment on the rumors.

For a day, Matt's post has collected 111 thousand "likes" and hundreds of comments from Russian-speaking subscribers.

Rumor has it that the actor's girlfriend, Esther Kim, knows Russian, which means that the couple stays together after the gay scandal. Fans of "Shadowhunters" suggested that Daddario's passionate kiss with a partner on the set was a publicity stunt to raise the rating of the project.
