Not only is she a talented actress, working alongside prominent leads in shows and films like True Detective, Baywatch, and The Layover, but she’s also a spokesperson for the United Nations Foundation, and is Kleenex Brand’s newest ambassador (are you keeping up?). With all of these accomplishments under her belt, it begs the question: Is there anything that Alexandra Daddario can’t do? The answer, quite obviously, is no.

Foundation, according to the Office of the President.
