EXCLUSIVE! 17 Incredibly Swoonworthy Facts About Keegan Allen 

If you’re anything like us, then you probably go weak at the knees upon seeing Keegan Allen on Pretty Little Liars every Tuesday night. Those blue eyes. Those arms. That taciturn-yet-lovable personality. Every scene he shares with his co-star Troian Bellisario is just swoonworthy to the max! However, there’s more to the actor thanjust  playing Rosewood’s main carpenter-turned-cop, Toby Cavanaugh: his sweet demeanor and incredible talents will also make your heart skip a beat!

That being said, scroll on down for 15 glorious fun facts – as well as some

, never-before-seen details — about Keegs. Learn all about his numerous passion projects, including his immense love for photography, his mom, and Harley-Davidson!

1. What’s one thing most people don’t know about Keegan? “I love fly-fishing,” he exclusively told our Alloy Entertainment team during a recent interview. Sometimes I won’t even put a hook on the end of the fly rod and just throw the line out, not to catch a fish but stand in the stream. It’s so relaxing to be in nature.”

2.) He truly connects to his PLL character! “I’ve learned a lot from Toby, in terms of listening and being more attentive,” he exclusively revealed to our Alloy Entertainment team. “He’s a very thoughtful character. And I definitely picked up on a lot of his romantic cues. He evolved very differently from the character in the book and has become the moral compass of the show.”

sweet to his fans. In fact, sometimes he even accepts rides from them! Here’s what he told us exclusively: “When I was in France I was walking by myself and I had to get back to my hotel and there was this girl that came up to me. She was really nice and asked if she could get a picture with me and I was like, “Yeah, could you give me a ride home?” and her whole family, who was on a road trip through Paris, brought me back to my hotel. It was the weirdest thing ever.”

sing. There’s nothing more loveable than a admirable actor playing a guitar and showing off his vocals in a different way other than by reading a script.

5.) He loves his mom, Jones Allen, tremendously; he appreciates everything that’s she’s done for him and isn’t embarrassed at all about giving her hugs in public. He’s basically her #1 fan! “My mom is definitely one of my closest friends,” he told SheKnows.com. “She’s just very bright and lovely and youthful, too. She battled breast cancer and is in remission now and is just really a strong-willed person.” Keegan adores his mom so much he even grew his hair out to donate it to Locks of Love in her honor!

6.) “Keeganing” is a thing. According to the PLL crew, Keeganing is “to work out for the direct benefit of someone else.” So far, Keegan Allen has allowed Shay Mitchell to use him as a chair as she was reading lines for the show and he has performed Troian-lifts (AKA the act of lifting Troian Bellisario). Keep up the good work, Keegs!

7.) Like costar Ian Harding, Keegan is a fan of Taylor Swift. Any man who is a fan of T. Swift gets an A+ in my book!

8.) One word ladies: motorcycle. That’s right, Keegan cruises around Hollywood on a Harley Davidson, and he’s even given the occasional ride to a few of our favorite PLL stars.

9.) His baby blues. Keegan was the most adorable little baby, and the first thing to “pop” are his gorgeous blue eyes. *Swoon*

10.) Abs. This can probably be said about every male on

Pretty Little Liars, and Keegan Allen is definitely no exception. See what I mean?

11.) Keegan’s relationship with costar Troian Bellisario is adorable. This may be the Spoby-bias in me, but their brother-sister relationship and their respect for each other as actors is incredible, bar none. Keegan captioned a photo from the PLL 100th-episode party, “Bae? OTP? #PLL100 I remember our first time working together. 100 episodes later, still best friends.” #FriendshipGoals.

12.) Keegan Allen supports non-profit organizations such as the UCLA Lab School, which impacts the lives of children around the world and promotes education. In order to raise money for this charity, Keegan auctioned off a lunch date with himself. I can’t think of anything better than having lunch with Keegan and talking about normal every-day life.

13.) He loves animals, especially his cat, Minin. That’s a puuuurfect quality to have!

14.) Keegan adores his fans. Not many celebrities give fans access to their personal Snapchat account. He’s been known to snap from the PLL set, and he takes a few videos of fans he’s met at events and has even included pics of them in his new book. Moreover, have I mentioned that Keegan has even given a few lucky fans personal phone calls? There’s nothing more admirable about a person who thanks the people who got him where he is today.

15.) He’s good friends with James Franco! The two have worked on various film projects together and, occasionally, they like to cuddle and snap photos of their adorable bromance.

fan! In fact, Keegan took his fondness for the show a step further by visiting the Downton castle (called Highclere Castle) during a trip to the UK, where he hoped to meet and court Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery).

camera, action! Not only does Keegan play one of our favorite PLL guys, but he also spends a great amount of time behind a camera of his own. (Passion for something you love to do is attractive, people!) He told About.com, “Having the ability to see through the camera and capture an image or capture a moment and translate it into a video or film production is wonderful.” Keegan even published a new book called

Pretty Little Liars, but he captured our hearts with the love he has for his fans, his work on

off camera, and his overall awesome-ness. Hit up the comments and let us why YOU adore Keegan!
