Alexandra Daddario is one of the top actresses in Hollywood and a fan favorite thanks to her role of Annabeth Chase in the Percy Jackson franchise. However, the actress has since moved on to different genres and mature themes including her critically acclaimed show True Detective, starring actors like Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
Daddario’s portrayal quickly gained attention and was praised for how well she took over a supporting role and turned it into more of a pivotal role for the entire storyline. The show’s popularity grew as well and it was reported that even President Obama requested advanced copies of the show. Reading the news of The President watching her show, Daddario had a hilarious reaction.
Alexandra Daddario’s Hilarious Reaction To President Obama Watching Her Show
True Detective season one featured Alexandra Daddario as Lisa Tragnetti, a supporting character having an extramarital affair with Detective Martin Hart played by Woody Harrelson. Her portrayal quickly gained the attention of the public and her fans because of the mature themes and nudity.
Despite the nudity aspect, she played a pivotal role in exploring complex human relationships and had a significant impact on Detective Hart’s story and character development. And soon after, as the show gained significant popularity even President Obama wanted to watch the American anthology crime drama and requested advanced copies of it.
While Daddario’s first reaction was that the President knew who she was, she decided to post the next thought she had in mind in an attempt to be funny on her X page,
“…. The president has seen my b**bs.”
Well, soon enough the comment had dozens of likes, comments, and reposts, with many of her fans applauding her sense of humor. In an interview with Vanity Fair days later, the actress stated that she was just trying to be funny and appreciated fans’ reactions.
Alexandra Daddario Was Shocked At Her Own Portrayal
Alexandra Daddario, during her interview with Vanity Fair, describes herself as a dork and a creature of comfort who loves to wear oversized t-shirts and baggy jeans, a stark contrast to her True Detective role. Lisa Tragnetti is anything but a dork and has no qualms about risking it all.
While the actress understood the mature aspect of her character, she exclaimed that oftentimes she was left surprised at what she had just done,
“She’s totally confused and messed up, so I understood the nudity required for the character. I tried not to think about how risqué it got because I got into it, but after I did it, I was like, ‘whoa, what did I just do?’”
Even though she was 27 back then and her on-screen romantic interest Woody Harrelson was 52, the actress wasn’t bothered by it for the massive age difference helped her portray Lisa better,
“It helped the way I played her, she doesn’t have her head on straight.”
And so the role and her attitude only prove the immense range and depth Alexandra Daddario has as an actress, allowing her to fully embody numerous characters and bring them to life.
True Detective can be streamed on Max.
