20 Hot Guys You Need To Know In 2013

Godfrey Gao

2013 Projects To Watch: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (Aug 26) 

Why Is He Hot This Year?: Gao is a smoking hot Taiwanese model and actor who is crossing over to Western films in a big way with one of the more juicy roles in a film filled with eye candy, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Also, he has a vocal online fan community.

Things To Know About Him: He was born in Taiwan, but moved to Canada at the age of 9, but then moved back to Taiwan to model and act in a plethora of teen dramas. 

Jamie Campbell Bower 

2013 Projects To Watch: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (Aug 26) 

Why Is He Hot This Year?: If Gao is on the verge of breaking out because of a juicy bit part in a popular YA film adaptation, the film’s lead should also brace himself for success. 

Things To Know About Him: Campbell Bower isn’t a stranger to the fantasy genre. He was a Volturi in The Twilight Saga and Grindelwald, aka Dumbledore’s crush/lover/enemy in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Oh, and he used to date Ginny Weasley. 

Robert Sheehan 

Robert Sheehan

2013 Projects To Watch: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (Aug 26) 

Why Is He Hot This Year?: Sheehan is the third up-and-comer who could break out on The Mortal Instruments series alone. However, unlike Gao and Campbell Bower, he hasn’t forged his path playing pretty boys, but character acting his way through cheeky anti-heroes and historical characters. 

Things To Know About Him: Sheehan started acting professionally in his late teens in his native Ireland, grew in popularity and acclaim and jumped to the UK market with film roles and an electrifying performance in Misfits. He’s appeared in a number of US films in supporting roles, but is poised for a crossover to Hollywood. Oh, and he apparently likes wine. That’s good.

Aidan Turner 

2013 Projects To Watch: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (Aug 26) & The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (Dec 13) 

Why Is He Hot This Year?: Turner is probably the most visible dwarf in The Hobbit being that he’s the youngest, (arguably) the hottest, and the one least covered in make-up and his character is one of the more “human” ones in the trilogy. On the flip side, he’ll be the mature elder of the pack in The Mortal Instruments, so he’s got two places to be seen in different ways by fantasy audiences.

Things To Know About Him: He recently cut his hair, which would be sad, but it still looks really, really, really good. 

——- 

added by me: I remember Harald interviewing Aidan for the first time and being like, all your hair, where did it go? And Aidan being like… “it was a wig?” 

“Why should you come to the party? Because Magnus Bane is throwing it.”

the-witchlight-stone:

Magnus Bane is throwing a party y’all.

I caught up with the brilliant Godfrey Gao over breakfast this morning to discuss the movie.  

Actually Jace and Isabelle both say thank you. Which I kind of love. :)

I would just like to say that one of the things I like about this scene is how Jace looks over his shoulder, totally shocked, when Magnus points and is like, “No, you are not the hot one. Alec is the hot one.” Clearly this has like, never ever happened to him before.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN, MEET THE SEXY, SEXY HIGH WARLOCK OF BROOKLYN

Aaand the Magnus photo in HD. An excerpt from the article:

“Magnus’ extravagant style of dress and makeup was quite the hot topic when I arrived to shoot in Toronto. All the glitter, nail polish, eye-liner and the outfits combined made Magnus the character that everyone loves and envisioned in their minds,” Gao said. “While I never spent more than 30 minutes for hair and makeup, the results for Magnus’ style … let’s just say the hair, makeup and costume team/departments did a fantastic job of styling my character, and I enjoyed every single moment of transforming into Magnus! The warlock outfit with the black cape and hoody was very intriguing as well!”

Those interested in the warlock’s backstory (beyond Clare’s “The Mortal Instruments” and “The Infernal Devices” series) should keep an eye out for a spin-off, e-serialization called “The Bane Chronicles,” which will be released in 10 installments starting April 16.

Check out everything we’ve got on “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.”

Well, hello there, MAGNUS.

Magnus, being all high warlock of Brooklyn and stuff.

Things I noticed : Well, I’ve never seen this set before, so I’m not going to assume I know where Magnus is right here, specifically. Things I do notice: warlock cat’s eyes! Badass jewelry! Nail polish and guyliner! Important life lessons to take away from this film: just because a dude is wearing nail polish doesn’t mean he can’t beat the crap out of you. The necklace is a bird’s skull dipped in silver, which is just a neat little touch.

I think the drink in his hand is from the party scene: the drinks were all different colors, so we weren’t allowed to drink them because I think they were like, antifreeze. I spilled some on a ghoul and he was sticky all night. (You can see a bright red drink behind Magnus, with the candles.)

Thanks to Sony and http://instagram.com/mortalmovie for being so awesome and I look forward to what Valentine’s Day brings. Have you been good Shadowhunters? Do you think you deserve an extra present? :D

SET PHOTO: So enough about Kevin and Godfrey - the true bromance of the Mortal Instruments set is Godfrey and SIDEBURNS GUY!

(This is not Godfrey in his Magnus costume, just in regular clothes on the set. He still looks ridiculously handsome of course. And Sideburns Guy is also stunning. I don’t just say that because he kindly brought me tea one day.)

I thought you guys might like to see these! Done by our lovely Cassandra Jean, these are portraits of the City of Bones actors* in their guises as the characters they play. The originals were given to the actors onset as a gift from the fandom to show their support. They loved them and wanted me to say THANK YOU, GUYS.

*not every single on of them - just the ones that were onset when I was!

A collection of the cast’s hand pictures from the past few days. :)

As for why hands and not other body parts = faces are made up, and makeup is costume and therefore embargoed. Also liable to have background, and background is set and therefore embargoed. Feet have shoes, and shoes are costume. I guess ears would have worked but hands seemed the best shot. And I had to get special permission just for that! (You can see Godfrey’s feet a little in the photo of his hands, but they’re his own shoes.)
