Cast Of The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones

Okay, so you've either devoured the Mortal Instruments books, or you've at least heard whispers of this super popular series. But let's zoom in on the "City of Bones" movie, because honestly, the cast was a trip, in the best way possible.

First up, we have Lily Collins as Clary Fray. Did you know she almost wasn't Clary? Imagine someone else battling demons and discovering her Shadowhunter lineage. Wild, right?

The Heartthrobs and the Humor

Then there's Jamie Campbell Bower, our brooding Jace Wayland. He's all golden hair and sarcastic comments, but behind the scenes? Apparently, a total goofball! Think epic sword fights interrupted by spontaneous dance-offs.

And let's not forget Robert Sheehan as Simon Lewis, Clary's endearingly nerdy best friend. Robert brought so much quirky humor. You could practically hear the audience sighing with relief every time he cracked a joke amid all the demon-slaying chaos.

Unexpected Chemistry and Behind-the-Scenes Shenanigans

The on-screen chemistry between Lily and Jamie? It was electric. But here's a little secret: Apparently, they bonded over their shared love for terrible puns. Who knew saving the world involved so much wordplay?

Remember Kevin Zegers as Alec Lightwood? His character was initially all about duty and repression. However, Kevin himself seemed to be having a blast, constantly photobombing cast photos and orchestrating elaborate pranks.

And Aidan Turner as Luke Garroway, Clary's father figure? He brought a gentle warmth to the role, like the reassuring hug everyone needed during a monster attack.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers added some major gravitas as Valentine Morgenstern, the big bad. It was hard to imagine him sharing memes on set, but you never know!

More Than Just Shadowhunters

What's really cool is how the cast seemed to genuinely care about the story and the fans. They weren't just actors reciting lines; they were invested in bringing this world to life. Their efforts and commitment shines through.

For example, Jemima West who portrayed Isabelle Lightwood, embraced her character's fierceness and fashion sense. It's a small detail, but it added a whole layer of authenticity to Isabelle.

Think about how much dedication it takes to learn fight choreography, especially with those complicated seraph blades. There were probably a few bruised egos (and maybe a few actual bruises) during rehearsals.

It's awesome to see how much joy and excitement was brought to the screen by all members of the crew and cast.
