Lost star, Matthew Fox has revealed that before he even thought about making a career out of acting, his intention was to move into the world of finance, and become a stock broker on Wall Street.
Lost star Fox majored in economics at Columbia University but decided against pursuing it as a career when he was laughed at for wearing cheap shoes to an interview.
While promoting his newest movie, Vantage Point, Fox revealed:
“I went to this interview and I’d had economics all going on in my head - which to be honest was largely to do with seeing Oliver Stone’s Wall Street.
“I borrowed a suit that was two inches too short… borrowed some penny loafers also. I was so broke. There’s four or five guys all in their mid to late 20s there. We get through the interview and we’re all standing around in a circle ready to go and they’re saying, ‘Yeah you gotta join us, it’s all gonna be great’.
“Then one guy looked around to the others and, I’ll never forget this, said, ‘Yeah, but we’re gonna have to do something about those shoes. Ha, ha, ha!’. I looked down and they were all wearing exactly the same pair of Oxford business shoes, and I had my penny loafers with my borrowed pants that were too high.
“It was that moment I realised, ‘no way’.”
Thank the Lord for those obnoxious twats! What would us girls have to ogle on the telly if it weren’t for Matthew Fox!
