Matthew Daddario Opens Up About The Feeling He Gets When Fans Go Nuts Over Malec

Matthew Daddario is one half of television’s most loved couples – Malec on Shadowhunters – and he knows it.

Speaking with TVGuide, the 30-year-old actor opened up about how it feels to see the fans gushing and raving over the couple.

“When I see that online and I see that in person, it’s really touching,” he shares. “It makes me feel like I’m doing something very worthwhile; something good. Something more than just TV and more than just a show, more than just entertainment.”

Matt continues, “It’s been wonderful meeting people and getting letters from people all over the world. I mean, that’s been actually the most meaningful part of this job the past few years, just seeing that… without a doubt.”

He also talked about how Malec and the show have pushed the conversation forward regarding LGBTQ representation.

“As long as we’re making some impact on improving the lives of young people, we’re going to continue to do our best effort and work as best as we can to present this in an honest and fair way.”
