[@jackyj1204]

I love how Matt talks about portraying a gay character and what representation means in media. He always talks so inrcredibly respectfully about it..it makes my heart warm

[@Natsumi666]

Take a look at the apporach in "shameless", more realistic if you are interested.

[@barbara9267]

María gallavich 😭😭

[@jackyj1204]

María Hated shameless actually. To each their own I guess

[@Natsumi666]

Jacky J I was only talking about the approach to homosexuality, specially in behaviour and enviroment, not so romanticized (although yes, it's a series with humour). Regards.

[@7Mushrooms7]

I haven't seen Shameless but I love this couple on Shadowhunters. It' s a fantasy series and Magnus is centuries old, so it can never be all that realistic. However I think the relationship is portrayed in a very loving, respectful and healthy way, which is not common in stereotypical, hypersexual or very dramatic representations of gay couples in the media. They are even the most loving and healthy couple on Shadowhunters and even with all the problems and drama surrounding them you can see that they care deeply about each other and have good communication. I don't even see them as a gay couple, even though the fact that Alec is gay has relevance in his storyline and character development, but I just see a loving couple.

[@xOnlymeMonax]

I love the fact that Alberto and Matt are seperated in the series and have no interaction but are put together in so maany interviews

[@thaliabowen2006]

IKR that’s hilarious

[@journalistxwest]

I love how Matt unintentionally made a dirty joke and Alberto couldn't help but laugh lmao

[@Gilarytta]

what?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeen? hahah i totaly missed it

[@garnetgamer9921]

Matthew said "They're going at it, headfirst." about Malec completely by accident. XD. It's at 14:31

[@Haebcakes]

Matt & Emeraude = ultimate cuteness/sibling goals

[@arinicole5641]

14:15-14:21 I loved watching Alberto's face when Matt talked about Malec, he's so precious and giddy it's adorable

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

i love how he lit up when he talked about Emeraude. it's nice to see her get some love, too.

[@stephl1478]

Who? Sorry, must he missed it.

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

the last audience question was asking matt about shooting lightwood sibling stuff with Emeraude Toubia and how that relationship feels for him

[@stephl1478]

OH THANK YOU!!

[@cessm2891]

Facial haired Matt gets me feeling some type of way...like maybe how Magnus feels towards Alec

[@vanessacz6098]

9:55 When The Interviewer Says: Love Triangle First Thing I Thought Was: Love Triangle? More Like: Jace Clary Simon Izzy Raphael Pentegon For (S2) Then (S3) Izzy Simon Maia Jace Clary Pentagon All Together: Raphael Izzy Simon Maia Jace Clary Hexegon *Then There's Malec* 💞

[@larabastian1306]

I love the fact that Em and Matt relationship in real live like the thr show how Matt talk about her just amazing 😍😍😍

[@jyoti2446]

I think I would ask the same question ,,I'm from India and we love our siblings and parents more than our partners so I can understand the relationship bw Alec and Izzy very lovely,they r best brother sister pair onscreen and look like have same relationship in real life too....... And I think the girl who ask the question was from INDIA...I got her.

[@massiekurpc]

Stele in pompei means "an upright stone slab or pillar bearing an inscription or design and serving as a monument, marker, or the like."

[@ainawbu]

14:34 "head first" *wink wonk*

[@gryffin120]

aina I laughed so hard when he said that.

[@kellievo242]

I just love how Alberto starts smiling a lot around 13:55 he's such a cinnamon bun

[@rihana21x]

Alberto's "Wait, what?" face at 19:31

[@babygirl4u2nv826]

Rahimaaa u peeped that too lol!

[@mpittard21]

Anyone else notice that they generalyl pair up Alberto and Matthew for these interviews? Its not the first time the two have been the spokespeople for the show.

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

yeah they send them around new york city to do press there because they live there. the other cast members live in LA and other places.

[@mpittard21]

ahh now that makes sense.

[@tonio6043]

14:15 Alberto ships Malec so hard I can't

[@brianlau7827]

I love how the audience chuckled when Matt said "headfirst". Everyone just admit it, we all have dirty minds here

[@pera9224]

Alberto is drop-dead gorgeous

[@tineeblusher]

Alberto legit looks like a werewolf irl in this interview and like a vampire sometimes... I keep thinking this when I see him in different interviews. Both matt and alberto's teeth are so aesthetically pleasing to me, I love watching them talk~~😍😄

[@yangles8344]

SPOILIER FOR TALES OF THE SHADOWHUNTER ACADEMY! But when they said that Simon and Alec didn't talk to each other that much it reminded me when Simon walked in on Alex and Magnus doing something 😂😂😂

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

HA welp time to read Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy!!

[@Katy787]

Also, Simon confronted him about this very thing. Asked him why he hated him because they never talked and he always looked so mad at him.

[@paigesimons2001]

FUCKING THANK YOU MATTHEW DADDARIO. Literally so many shows (sue me but I'm talking about The 100) forces gay couples in a sense to appeal to an audience and it doesn't really work.This show we genuinely get to see progress and a healthy relationship grow. I've never been invested in gay relationships on television but this one is so beautifully done I can't help but be drawn in.

[@ajlinacor]

Well said!!

[@shanicehoward8225]

Paige Simons Preach it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shanicehoward8225]

Paige Simons you should watch Hit The Floor😊😊😊😊

[@blaamlaambb9067]

two hottest actors on the show right there

[@babygirl4u2nv826]

Blaam Laambb I thought you said honest lol both apply tho

[@user-us4tt7vy7p]

14:34 “Headfirst” Alberto: looses it. Me: haha, yes they do.

[@moithileeheeya4494]

I knw everyone's like Matt... Matt... Matt is sooooo handsome... but i cant stop drooling over Rosende in d character of Simon... d way he smiles... oh my god... i wld do nythng to have a guy smile like dat to me...

[@unlikelytwins901]

Matt’s voice is very calming. Is that weird?

[@georgianasoloviev7374]

Not weird. I try not to fall asleep whenever I see an interview of his. He's not boring at all, but he genuinely calms me down.

[@AaronSaltzer]

Sometimes when Alberto smiles, he reminds me of a caricature. There’s calmness in his voice. It makes him stand out on stage. So attractive. I wonder if he’s as decent as he sounds.

[@Blasianjazzy11]

god i love matt. i love how comfortable he is portraying a gay character i love that so much!!

[@Matsumiyalover]

And he's not taking advantage at all to gain any respects from the members of the community. He did it genuinely, and only for them.

[@TiaraonCamera]

I don't know if this is just me but there were a lot of awkward pauses like in between when they were talking

[@gillianpaige1366]

the way alberto laughed at the slight innuendo, i died lmao

[@jithikasagar3575]

!

[@cessm2891]

The innuendos in this interview......oh Matthew!!

[@lindseymarez8188]

When the interviewer mentioned Jack Falahee and HTGAWM, I screamed "me "lol I love that show. Both Matt and Jack are doing a great job representing characters that are a part of the LGBTQ community.

[@JorgeLopez-qg8ep]

Lindsey Marez what minute?

[@lindseymarez8188]

around 12:25

[@7Mushrooms7]

I really like this interview. The interviewer makes good and interesting questions.

[@73brook]

"Head first" Which head, Matthew?

[@hannahk807]

"parabahtay"

[@schnibbleschnubble3819]

I died

[@insolencestar]

"going at it head first.." this is brilliant

[@pkikt.9763]

Simon is my fav too and i love Alberto in real life as well!

[@dambookworm13]

My screen has been blessed with two GORGEOUS men and a wonderful host!

[@ashleyd9910]

the way the interviewer said parabatai 😂😂

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

i KNOW i was like bruh do your research

[@Angelnychole]

Simon should become clan leader eventually.

[@potmki6601]

That would be so very funny. If he manage to do it staying true to himself, I would really like to see how the hell and what the hell he and everyone will do in such god-help-us (in a good way) situation.

[@bodenkree7053]

Shows been cancelled lol no chance of that dream now

[@frog1812]

Kree_Ation why the show is so good.

[@SandraLentzB]

Lovely interview boys! 😊💕

[@gowri80]

Alberto’s face when Mathew was speaking about Magnus and Alec is PRECIOUS.

[@kannieee]

sweaty...that word makes me feel funny

[@bookmilla8616]

Ca Ka moist and crusty are gross words

[@ainawbu]

"slurp" makes me feel like puking

[@Matsumiyalover]

Matthew gushing about his vacation/proposal in Rome, and that smile, so cute. Such special occasions for him I guess XD

[@shadowhunters8964]

Remember the good old Interviews on how the show WILL CONTINUE. And not how they feel because it's ending.

[@shanicehoward8225]

Dom should see Matt's hand right now😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jithikasagar3575]

;

[@laylabahmanziari7663]

ok this entire season already came out and what Matt said to Alberto about how he shouldn't be into Clary and that " Alec... he...." still made me fangirl sweat so hard I lost 5 pounds of water weight what thE FUCK. Alec and Simon are in no way even close to a real romantic idea, ever, in any media that has ever come out for this series but now I cant stop thinking about it and im mad. Thanks Matt. That definitely isnt even what he meant. But I still had the shipper sweats

[@walliehanggod77]

Love this interview.

[@Do-hz6gt]

18:38 that was a really good question

[@helenauthoff6370]

Matt looks so handsome with that scarf and he just takes no shit at all and I love him so much

[@monicachu7393]

This is like soooooo off topic, but they should add a double chin emoji lol. :))

[@MsKittyCalico123]

can i ask yall please have them back this year for season 3 promotion

[@AariboBear77]

Sees Matthew I Click EASY Pleased!!!

[@alisonbronti2977]

I just fucking love Matt so much 😭♥️

[@sarahzitrone151]

did anyone find out about the "Stele" in Pompeii???

[@begonapinilla1716]

Me gusta mucho de la historia que todos los personajes tienen luces y sombras.

[@babygirl4u2nv826]

18:10 "ultimately it's still me."

[@jassmith456]

both of them are cute they look so nice

[@catalinacurihuinca47]

I love this so fucking much

[@tao3648]

I wanna know if any of them have seen the movie

[@AnimeLover-rq4ee]

19:25 Malec's first time?

[@madlyclumsy]

MATT AUDITIONED FOR THE MOVIE?

[@schnibbleschnubble3819]

My brother and I are like Clary and Alec in part one of season 1. I aim to be more like Alec and Izzy.

[@alice8asta7amara2]

Anyone found out about the other meaning of stele that Matt was talking about?

[@kellyblandon5480]

I´ve only found academic papers and books that mention them, but from the very (very) little i´ve read they don´t really explain what a stele is. If you look it up on google images it gives you some photos of some kind of pillars in ancient tombs from different cultures. Has someone else found something different? or even better, more concrete? haha. I love Matt, it´s been told many times he´s great at looking stuff up on google. He has a very particular personality that I´m very drawn to, I love him!

[@moniqueabbott2582]

If I remember correctly from my art history class, a stele is basically a grave marker.

[@kellyblandon5480]

Monique Abbott that's awesome! thank u!

[@moniqueabbott2582]

You're welcome! I never thought my art history knowledge would come in handy but there you go ;) it figures Matt would be the one to get all excited about something like that haha

[@alice8asta7amara2]

Monique Abbott Thanks! But why wouldn't he be sure he could say it on camera? It's nothing vulgar or anything like that so I don't understand why he wouldn't just tell everyone about it

[@nicolecastillo8591]

Good evening guys

[@diegomendoza6042]

Matt 🖤🔥

[@spotlightstar322]

What does stele mean regarding Pompeii?

[@jithikasagar3575]

Y.

[@Len-is5ff]

[@jolyyy9415]

😎😎😎💕💕💕

[@andreisdead2830]

Lol why does he say 'the fandom' why doesn't he just say malec? 😂

[@ARSTARLESS]

I can actually see him as Jace- dyed blond, of couse

[@elleran1969]

head first lol

[@lenaleewalker7704]

the one dislike was Valentin

[@insolencestar]

there's real-world segregation.. "the downworlders have sort of stuck together.."

[@kellynaz9256]

hottest 2 tbh

[@sophia4150]
