Matthew Fox Net » movies“Lost” fans finally got new glimpses of their fearless (and, apparently, utterly bonkers at some future date) leader, Jack Shephard, when the brain-teasing hit show began its fourth season at the end of January. And in his new movie, “Vantage Point,” Fox’s Secret Service agent Kent Taylor can be seen trying to save an American president from a Spanish assassination plot again and again and again. The movie depicts the same shooting from eight different perspectives, revealing more information each time it rewinds. Fox was raised on an isolated Wyoming ranch and loves living in Hawaii with his wife of 17 years and their two children, out of focal length from most paparazzi lenses. And though the 41-year-old actor isn’t one to seek attention, he doesn’t mind if his current ubiquity pleases many adoring fans. Now, if we could only figure out what his characters are up to. Let’s talk about your character in “Vantage Point.” Oh wait, we can’t. It’s kinda tricky; I’m not used to that. We really wanted to find ways of foreshadowing stuff that audiences wouldn’t necessarily see the first time around, but after the realization they would go, “Oh. Yeah.” So we were playing with levels of it and trying to make something that was nuanced. Comments: 0

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
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
