What happend to Matt Dillon?

I just watched "In and Out". He was so good in this movie. What happened to his career? Did he, like a lot of other actors just decide to drop out?

by Anonymousreply 112February 25, 2019 2:45 AM

He is supposedly doing a film with Gillian Anderson this fall.

I wonder too. I still harbor my boyhood crush on him.

I have to admit one of my childhood crushes was on Matt Dillon. Such a prick in My Bodyguard, but then in Little Darlings I wanted him more than Kristy or Tatum. Loved him in Drugstore Cowboy, and In and Out. Alway wonder if he is bi. Anyone know?

he was allegedly thrown out of a bar for stealing eons ago (gotta be at least 2 decades ago). i was a waitress/bartender and these stories get passed around, how true, not sure but just what i heard. (he allegedly took tips left on the bar by customer meant for bartender)

by Anonymousreply 15September 13, 2012 5:18 AM

OMG R15. It's hard to imagine Dillon ever needing money enough to snag tips or a tip jar or whatever.

But if he really did that, it would be enough to get me over what crush I still have on him.

Same goes for if it's true that he trolls for pussy when he really wants cock...although I'd certainly like the latter to be true.

R6 again. My (female) NY friends (born and bred) from eons back have always joked about him. The younger the better. He's a straight horndog who likes them young. Couldn't really tell you now, but he was hitting on these girls when he was close to 20 years older than them. From hearsay, not uncommon. The joke was that you were basically a dog if he DIDN'T hit on you. Stalked the private school scene.

I've known a few straight panty creamers who date only young girls. They pick up on reflexive adulation - dilated pupils, flushed skin, a faster heart beat.

It's a power trip and the girls are an accessory. These are straight guys who also know their luxury brand names. Everything must be the best.

While not gay, they do know when guys are attracted to them and seem to do anything to keep attention focussed upon themselves.

Known him since before Little Darlings. Not gay. The rumors have been out there since he first started maybe because his longtime manager/agent was gay. Had people swear to me they'd seen him the night before at some gay club or with some guy when I knew exactly where he was the night before. Really loved Cameron but cheated. I think he's a sex addict and not in the new Hollywood I cheated on my wife because.... When you start getting it handed to you by the hundreds at such a young age how do you scale back to monogamy? Not defending just wondering if it's possible. At least he stayed single. True about liking them young but not illegally young.

No heroine either alcohol was his drug of choice and he's been clean for years. Why would he rob from a tip jar 20 yrs ago? He was flush with cash then. He's cautious with his money but not cheap. Very smart btw. Self educated. Very knowledgeable about Art and Music.

by Anonymousreply 44October 3, 2012 3:15 PM

I just happened onto this site and found this thread so I don't know how to respond to a specific post but to answer post 41. I'm not in the industry. So I can't tell you why Matt hasn't been in much the last few years. And how do you ask an actor that question? Most actors are neurotic about their career and he's an Aquarian so double that.

I can only guess from things I know. He was not represented by a big time agency in the beginning and for many years after. His manager only represented Matt and Vinny Spano (yes, they were friends). And Matt always remained NY based so he didn't really network as much in LA. Like everyone else who starts young he tired of the teen films (even if they were Francis Ford Coppola) and went Indy with Gus Van Sant. Movies like Drugstore Cowboy seemed to appeal more to him than mainstream. Maybe he should've milked his fame more then. After Crash he dedicated a lot of time to the movie he eventually starred in and directed.

It doesn't seem like he's hurting for money. HIS parents didn't rake him over and they invested well. Again, I don't know his financial details but he's hasn't been kicked out of a trailer park. He has a lovely apt in the City, he dines out frequently. He's never had an entourage to support. So it's not like he has to take any job (altho he did make that Herbie film) but yeah, I think he'd like to work more. He still auditions.

He was pigeonholed early on as a teen idol and he kind of fell into the industry so he wasn't great when he started. But he's done some very good work, Drugstore, Crash and I thought he was very good in What Happened to Mary. He has expanded his range but maybe some still remember the early Matt.

BTW post 43. You can choose to believe me or not I've heard the claim for over 30 years. I've never spoken about him on the Net before. I was looking for something else on this site and saw the thread and many seemed interested in knowing more than about his sexuality so I decided to give a little insight. I have a lot of respect for him. He was "discovered" at 14 (I think) thrown into this very surreal world and for the most part he's held up pretty well. He never went to college yet he took the time to educate himself on a wide range of topics. And his interests are varied. His ear for music is phenomenal. He should've gone into the record industry after film because he has a knack for discovering new talent years before they go mainstream. And he has the same knack for Art.

That's all I've got. I shared because it was nice to see people are still interested.

he spent a chunk of his time in Asia? south-east asia if my memory serves me right and he even went back to direct a movie in Thailand or Vietnam...yeah he probably likes them real young. i'm too lazy to google but i remember he liked jazz and collects vinyls, 45s or 8 tracks or whatever those relics are called...and i wouldn't put it past him to "steal" allegedly, lots of actors "research" their roles...i think Keanu Reeves was caught scalping tickets outside of a stadium once but was let go.

R50, Dillon is in upcomung movie Imogene, starring Kristen Wiig. Imogene finds that her estranged mother, who is dating Dillon, rented her childhood room to Criss at a time when Imogene has split from her cheating wealthy boyfriend and has nowhere else to live. Dillon's character, George Bouche, hints that he is a spy or undercover intelligence officer, and Imogene thinks he's a con man fooling her mother (Annette Bening).

There have always been 'net rumors that he was gay or bi, and kinky. I knew the guy who discovered him (I'm that old) and thus, knew a young Matt. I ran into him about fifteen years later at the Public Theater. We had a snack and drinks (yes, I paid). Unlike every young actor I've known he had become an interesting, articulate person with a passion for music of all kinds and some real knowledge. I never saw any evidence that he was gay or bi, in fact he was precociously interested in getting girls his age and a little older into the sack; and good at it.

As for the kink, who knows? A fair number of people get into this or that. But if he does, it's with females as far as I know or have ever heard from people who still see him. The one assertion above I could at least consider is that he's had a tranny or two. It's trendy in some circles, but I've never heard that about him.

Careers are very hard to maintain, and luck plays a huge part in someone's survival at or near the top. He hasn't done badly at all but even when I saw him a while ago he was frustrated about what he was being offered and about how hard is was to be seriously considered for what he wanted to do.

From Seka's bio

[quote]I also met Matt Dillon at Limelight. He was a lot of fun. And a hottie. He came over and was talking to me for a few minutes and I was in the mood, so I said, “Do you want to get out of here?” He quickly responded, “Yes.” Simple as that. Big difference between men and women: when men go out, they wonder if they’re going to get laid. When women go out, we choose whether we’re going to get laid. We went to my place and went at it for a couple of hours. He was getting very relaxed afterwards and started to go to sleep. I basically did a boy thing and said, “Look, you need to get up and put your clothes on and go back to your hotel. I’m not your mother. I’m not going to clean up after you.” He didn’t get pissed off, but he had a look like a little hurt puppy. He was certainly good at what he did, though.

by Anonymousreply 84December 1, 2013 12:39 PM

I heard that early in his career he was bi, having lots of sex with both sexes. There were reports of Matt going down to the docks in NY and would fuck guys. He was said to be a top and would only fuck certain small number of guys. If none of his regulars were there he would just sit and jack off.

As time went on, he was less and less into guys and what I hear now is that he rarely does anything with a guy, and only when drunk.

Most agree that he is probably a sex addict.

There's Something About Mary is the correct title.

Answers:

He's loaded--I mean financially set forever loaded.

He takes funky parts, calculates his career based on what he wants to do, including lowbrow comedy and and is great in it. Healy in Farrelly brothers 'Mary? Wacky, funny, memorable. Lots of ensemble films where he co-stars, like Beautiful Girls. Many independent where he's further up in the credits, but he knows it's tough to transition from leading man to character roles, that's the way it is. He's been smart, wishes to remain a working actor and takes all kinds of parts, though none are desperation jobs. At all. What are you going to do at 50 years old? Play 30? It's the twilight zone for actors as they hit his age--he's done very well by transitioning long before he was forced to by Hollywood.

Can't speak to his sexuality, but as for his career-- it's very hard for guys who are known as young heartthrob types to make the transition to a more mature actor.

Especially someone like Dillon who in his youth looked much younger.

He also, as someone else noted upthread, was repped by an independent agent not affiliated with a major agency and he avoided LA.

He might have had a longer career if he'd done action films like Tom Cruise, but things like Drugstore Cowboy or even Flamingo Kid marked him as a more niche actor--even though they were better films than anything Cruise ever did.

He's at a point now where he's got sitcom dad looks but not movie dad-- he still looks too handsome to be Miles Teller's dad even though that's age appropriate. A conundrum for a lot of actors

He needs to get onto a show like "Stranger Things" - but with a bit more of a comic twist.

I saw him at the Formosa Cafe in Hollywood one night. I remember he was wearing a grey V-necked sweater...i THINK with no shirt on underneath it. (Think Michael Douglas in BASIC INSTINCT.) I remember thinking he seemed surprisingly short. The internet lists him at 6' but I say different!

I always clam up around celebs. I had a huge crush on him, so I wish I'd been more relaxed and dared to look at him again (didn't want to seem to be gawking)

He has the IQ of a carved out pumpkin!

Yeah he doesn't come across as very smart in an interview. Can't even use his vocabulary well. Have been fooling around with them Italians for too long.

Both times I saw him he was wearing white jeans. Great ass. I went and bought a pair of white Levi's after that.

Matt Dillon is as straight as Charlie Sheen.

There’s a scene of him fucking Sean Young in A KISS BEFORE DYING that is so hot. The movie is trash, but that scene makes all the bad dialogue worth it.
