Is it true that he's had some familiarity with the homosex?

I mean, who wouldn't do it with him, given the opportunity?

Happy birthday, Matt!

He was the hottest thing in the world in his prime. So underrated.

U never hear about him. I’m sure he’s in something in the myriad of channels and streaming.

Would then. Still would now.

19-year-old Matt Dillon (and Kristy McNichol) butchering the names of foreign nominees at the 1983 Oscars will never fail to make me laugh. 😂

He was so hot on "Mermaids!"

Matt Dillon certainly had the “it” factor.

60 years still looking for the "right gal".

^ Chances are he'll remain a confirmed bachelor.

We’ll never get to see his shower scene with Kevin Bacon in the so-bad-it’s-awesome masterpiece “Wild Things”.

I found her and then lost her.

Literally bumped into him once at a theatre backstage in NYC. He was taller than I would've thought (5'10"?) and unbelievably intense. Like he had this aura or bubble around him of hostile intensity. Weird. Might be having a bad day, but I could see him being a hothead type. But yes, he was hot. Didn't ping for me, but that would've been sweet. This was 20-25 years ago so this was prime Matt.

There's only two other actors I can think of that gave off that scary angry vibe when briefly meeting: Alec Baldwin and, perhaps surprisingly, Frances McDormand. Through work I've met many, many recognizable actors and for the most part they're genial and down to earth.

R6 you're confusing him with Michael Schoeffling, who is similar in looks and also beautiful.

But yes, Matt... he is unparalleled as far as I'm concerned. One of the absolute hottest.

Happy Birthhday Mat! 🎁🎈. I'll never forget him in "Liars Moon."

You're right, r14!

Thanks!

I recall going to the movies to see Tex (1982?) which was pretty good. I think it may have been the first movie he was the lead.

Before the film started they showed "Vincent", a stop-motion animated short in black & white narrated by Vincent Price and written, designed and directed by Tim Burton.
