MATT DILLON DOESN’T WANT TO BE FAMOUS!!

Posted by Adam

Matt DillonMATT Dillon isn’t bothered about being famous — he just wants to be “considered an actor”.

The Something About Mary stars he wants to be recognized for his talents instead of people focusing on his personal life.

Dillon was asked what it was like staring alongside Lindsay Lohan in the 2005 movie Herbie: Fully Loaded.

“How many 18-year-olds are under that kind of scrutiny?” he said. “I think it’s unfair these days the way magazines judge women on their weight and that kind of stuff.

“But I don’t preoccupy myself too much with being famous. I’ve always just wanted to be considered an actor.”

Matt also claims he’s eased off on his hard-partying lifestyle.

“Personally, I don’t really miss watching the sun rise that much,” he says. “Sunsets are great. Sunrises are a mixed bag. You either got up way too early or went to bed way too late.

    Poorly written article. No editor around to make sure it makes sense to read?

    The Something About Mary (stars) he wants to be recognized for his talents instead of people focusing on his personal life.

      Ditto on Nathan’s comment. Was this an article from middle school newspaper?

    What kind of writing is this? No wonder this country is in such trouble. They must be hiring writers off the street.

    Is this even a “story?” What’s the “news” here? This is SO typical of journalism today.

    It’s hard to find real news or information these days. Like this non-story, there is a ridiculous amount of trivial stuff padded and spun to look like more than it is, and very poorly at that.

    Wow.

      probably people who have barely graduated from college and have poor editing/revising skills or college interns or possibly high school students during a summer break. who knows? all i know is that it’s the worst writing i’ve ever seen.

  • Patty Fitz

    I also agree the writing stinks and ‘yes’… I could do better.

  • Farty Pants

    Who is Matt Dillon?

  • Mark

    What do you expect from the jewish media, they are all a bunch of retards!!!

  • motherearth

    lighten up everybody! I did not know we all had to be perfect.Stop judgeing everything! Matt Dillon is a good actor! In the 80′s he rocked the silver screen!

  • steve m

    It’s easy to say that when you have $$$$$$$$,ask the same ? when he did “Over the Edge” in 1979!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • malibu loser

    I think Matt Dillon wrote it himself.

    • http://www.showbizspy.com Justin

      I agree Matt wrote this…

      thats funny.

      Like i clicked this casue of the headline but like most things nowadays, its easier to chop and use comments to make it look like somthing big is happening and of course its taken out of context. Internet entertainment news sucks

    Matt Dilllon isn’t an actor. He never was. He was yes a pretty face that all the gay Hollywood types and the horny old women executives were into. No, he could never be an actor. Have you heard him speak? He’s so monotone and has such a boring personality. I’m tied of all these so-called “actors” that make their way into Hollywood through the “back-door”. Excuse the pun.

    Doesn’t want to be famous?! I would GLADLY trade places with him. If I had 1/10th the money he made being famous maybe I wouldn’t be struggling every day just to pay the bills and have minimal food on the table. Any day he wants to trade spots with me and take care of an ailing father, stacking bills, and a dead-end job he can let me know so I can not have to worry where my next meal is coming from… :)

      damn, sounds just like my life. I feel for you. it sucks to have to live like we do. it’s so damn depressing. I have faith in God so that keeps me going and my family keeps me going but they are all getting old too and sick. We are all in the same boat I guess.

      How sad that you are hungry. Have you tried applying for food stamps? They are all the rage. I always hear people bragging about their food stamps and I’m not kidding I really do hear people bragging.

    Well, Johnny told you to look at a sunset. Kid was smart, even back then!

  • KM

    Yep, I’m getting a little tired of hearing celebrities whine about how they love acting, but don’t want to be famous. Do us a solid and either shut up and be grateful that people still pay a @#$!pile of money to see and hear you do your job, or get into another line of work.
    As far as the poor editing critics, blame the ‘net. People want their news (or gossip) ASAP so it often skips the proofreading process.

    I actually like Matt quite a bit. I like a lot of movies that he was in. I think he is a very good actor. He was a SUPER STUD of his days. Just look at pics when he was young. Incredibly handsome dude. He had women lined up around the corner for a chance to bang him. He always the type of guy that stayed out of trouble for the most part. In fact, I can’t recall ever reading any tabloid bullshyt about his exploits other than the ultra hot women that he was banging. He has some great performances that he created on film that even most critics agree were very very good. :)

    Matt Dillon is a lucky “lunkhead” with all the right connections…that’s all. Oh sh*t, could you imagine Matt Dillon reciting shakespeare? He should be doing razor commercials or pitching erectile dysfunction meds.

    Lets move on, I hear Brittany is engaged to her manager…

  • Matt

    Wait, who? He was in what?

  • Brooklyn

    I just saw bits and pieces of this article on another website. Whose elementary school put this website together? Well, anyways I think Matt should just be happy that people like his work and want to pay money to see him.

    Hello, – stumbled upon your web site accidentally when drifting around the internet this morning, and happy that I did! I like the design and style and tones, but I ought to mention that I’m having difficulties when it loads. I’m making use of Sunrise 1 internet browser for mac, and the side panel fails to align the right way. i am sure I’ve employed an identical design on a customer’s online site, but the menu seems Ok on mine. I think the error is at my end & I’m guessing it’s about time to switch!

    Hi, – came across your web site due to pure luck when wandering around the web this afternoon, and glad that i did! I like the structure and colors, but I really should mention that I’m having problems when it loads. I’m using Classilla 8 internet browser for mac, and the top panel doesn’t lineup correctly. i am fairly certain I’ve made use of a matching layout on a client’s internet site, but the menu seems Ok on mine. I suspect the fault is with my outdated browser & just maybe it’s time to swap!
