So I met Matt and Kat today! They are literally the most amazing people ever! I absolutely love them! This was literally my dream and it came true! Best day ever!

I do hope there's another convention like this next year.

The first question was about Matt and Kat’s new project “Push” and they both said they’re playing very different character from what they were used to and they had a lot of fun filming it, there’s a lot going on. Matt also said that people will debate about the characters.

Irene’s question was about their characters Kurt, Mia and Alec: if they’d like each other when they’d first meet and how would they organise an escape plan together. Kat said that Mia and Alec probably would do some kind of archery competition and that they’d be confused  about Kurt’s outfit. Dom said Alec wouldn’t like the other people and Matt added he would be perplexed on why they’re not wearing fighting gear but they’ll keep it professional and they’ll try to find an escape plan.

Evelin’s question was about who managed to stay in a better shape during the show without messing up their diets. Dom mentioned that Alberto was way too in good shape and had to “diet back” at one point. Matt said that the show was filmed in a long period of time so when they had time off it was really hard to stick to the diet and Dom added that they started eating cheeseburgers and donuts on the first day of freedom.

Next question was about what they took from set. Dom and Matt started saying that Kat got everything, she came in with a trolley and took everything she could and that know she’s denying so she wouldn’t get sued. They then started talking about how they tried to hide things that happened while shooting, like when some things fell or Dom punching the mirror and hiding is bloody hand or Kat’s broken heel in Paris.

For the next question they had to tell a funny story from set. Matt said the day when they were fighting a demon and he shot an arrow to the microphone. Dom mentioned when they shoot zooms scenes on their face because it was very hard to not burst out laughing. Kat also mentioned the first scene with the werewolves in season one.

Elizabeth’s question was about what would they do when the pandemic will end. Dom plans to go back to England as soon as he can and then wherever work needs him to be. Matt said Dom shouldn’t leave because he just got there. They then started talking about Dan and how big he is and how he needs more attention than an actual child.

FUCK YEAH!!!

For the first question, they've been asked what would their names be if they were a cocktail and a song. Dom said Katherine's cocktail would be a Ginger Scotch and her song 'Moss' from The Planets. For Kat he would be something old fashioned with a twist and his song would be 'Go the distance' from Hercules.

Sylke's question was about the best advice they received professionally and personally. Dom said the best advice he has ever received was to always have your goal in front of you, whatever you want to achieve. Kat's is to never lose the sparkle that makes you different.

Lina asked if there are any Clace bloopers that haven't been shown. Dom replied that every scene they filmed in four year has at least one blooper and Kat agreed.

Next, they've been asked if there is any workout exercise that they hate. Dom said he hates all of them and the only reason he does them is because of work. Kat has a difficult relationship with burpees.

Carolina asked what they would do if they were given the opportunity to direct an episode of Shadowhunters, giving a musical episode as a suggestion. Dom said they told him they would have done one, and he told them he would have agreed to do it only if Matt sang a solo in the episode, and he would never do that. On the contrary, Kat said she would have done a musical episode and that would be a funny thing to do. She also said that she would do a Shadowhunters quarantine edition Dom likes the idea, but added that they would kill each other because six/eight months without killing demons would have resulted in Jace killing someone.

The first question was about what he does when he’s having a bad day. He replied that he’d talk to his friends, hang out with Dan or do surfing, but he also adds that it’s a personal thing so it would be different for everyone.

Next question was about how exactly he got involved in Shadowhunters. He explained that agents get a list with all the roles available at the moment, you go in for an audition and if you fit the criteria you get called again until eventually you get the offer.

Caroline’s question was about the skills learned on set and Dom said that it’s very useful to keep up with what he has learned in case it gets useful in future roles. He mentioned martial arts, surfing and gun training.

Lena asked what he has been tricked into believing or doing. He replied that when he was in Australia, some fans told him that the birds would bite him and so he was constantly afraid of birds when walking, but then it turned out to be a prank for tourists.

Next question is about the hardest thing for him when he’s acting. He says that connecting to characters who lost someone is very hard, but all the emotional scenes usually are.

He then received a question on the chat asking where he leaves his pets when he’s not in LA. He replied that there’s a dog hotel that Dan really likes to go to or sometimes friends look after them or also people working in pet care. But he has always been in LA lately and Dan was able to go on set with him on Penny Dreadful.

In the next question he’s been asked if he ever thought he could have done a part in a movie better than the actual actor. “Every film I’ve ever seen” but no, never. He said he sometimes watches the parts he was close to get and think that he could have done that but at the same time it’s not beneficial and he tries not to.

The next person asked about the idea of creating an animal rescue since he loves animals so much. He said he had never thought of that because it’s really hard work and he doesn’t have the time to that and it wouldn’t be fair because he wouldn’t commit 100% but he’d like to to go volunteer and help soon. He also added he’s really careful when he takes part in fundraisers and he makes sure the money really go where they say they’ll be going, he really has to be sure before doing something.

Next question is about whether he’d like to do comedies and sitcoms. He said that he’d like to because he hasn’t really tried it yet so he would definitely consider it.

Michaela’s question was “if you had the world’s attention for 30 seconds what would you do”? “I’d show my bum” - Faccina con lacrime di gioia - he would actually try to encourage people to be nice and more understanding of other people’s individuality like spiritualism, gender identity, sexuality profession, nationality. He adds that he always see people online get aggressive with each other because they disagree and he thinks it’s not fair to do it without having heard their opinion first.

The next question was about books and he said that his workload got very busy and all he’s been doing is reading scripts for the past weeks so he really hadn’t time to read other things.
