'Shadowhunters' star Matthew Daddario's evolution into 'Malec', being a vocal LGBTQ supporter, and his other secret talents

It takes a special kind of talent to win an award for a show even after its cancellation, and Matthew Daddario is packed with several different kinds of those talents.

To a lot of people Matthew Daddario might be the younger brother of one of the sexiest women on the planet, but to fans of the 'Shadow' world, he is the sexiest man on the planet. And that's saying something because these fans of the Freeform fantasy show, 'Shadowunters' have a wide range of ridiculously hot men to pick a favorite from. Yet somehow, with his infectious smile and piercing hazel eyes, there's just something magical about the way Daddario plays the role of the demon-slaying Alec Lightwood to perfection.

Bonus perks? When not making his fans swoon over him as the ever so iconic Alec, Daddario - a seemingly ardent animal lover - adores documenting nature, wildlife and his gorgeous girlfriend of five years, Esther Kim, on his social media. Packed with talents, it's quite easy to mistake that this 31-year-old could be a professional photographer. But that's not the only thing he is a pro at!
