Smoke monsters? Ghosts? Pirates? Renegade researchers experimenting with wormholes and polar bears? All minor headaches compared to the thorniest threat Matthew Fox and his fellow Lost castaways have faced: Namely, fickle fair-weather fans. “Those were all bandwagon jumpers. Those were the people who would not have been Lost fans to begin with,” says Fox of the millions of viewers who bailed during the stormy sophomore season and had many observers wondering if the phenomenally-popular series would ever regain its momentum. “We won the Emmy. We won the Golden Globe - and then we had a whole bunch of people jump on just because they couldn’t stand being left out and they weren’t really Lost fans to begin with. “And they all went away.” Comments: 1

Having been a father for 10 years, one might assume Matthew Fox would have some great words of wisdom for father-to-be and his We Are Marshall co-star Matthew McConaughey, but he begs to differ. “That’s a tough one,” Matthew tells OK! at the Vantage Point premiere. “Being a father is an individual experience and I wouldn’t really feel qualified to give anyone advice other than just trying to do the very, very best job you possibly can.” Comments: 1
During our extensive research in preparation for the premiere of the new thriller Vantage Point, we observed that Matthew Fox, the not-bad-to-look-at star of Lost, grew up on a horse ranch in Wyoming. We kept this in mind as we prepared to interview Vantage’s stars on the big night, thoughtfully studying our list of questions, prioritizing some and eliminating others (probably there would be technical difficulties involved in asking Mr. Fox to remove his shirt, for instance). By the time Matthew, who we will always remember as Charlie on Party of Five, reached us on the red carpet, he was overwhelmed by reporters with tape recorders. They all were assaulting him with questions about his role as a Secret Service agent. At a lull, we took a deep breath and jumped in with the number-one question on our finely honed list.

Starring in Lost, where you’re never sure what lurks around the next palm tree or why, got Matthew Fox ready for Vantage Point. It’s a thriller that keeps replaying a presidential assassination from the varying viewpoints of everyone from the Secret Service to the assassins. “I think it’s provocative and timely,” Fox says, “the idea that one event can be perceived so differently by different people, depending on who they are and if they have an agenda. It’s always amazing to me how people can walk around thinking that the way that they see the world is the only way because it’s just not the truth.” That’s about all we can say about Vantage Point without spoiling the surprises that keep on coming. I can tell you that Matthew is in the middle of a car chase, which is the longest and scariest since The Bourne Supremacy. But, he confessed he left the driving to the stunt guys. “I love getting behind the wheel, but it was just too intense,” he says. Comments: 0
