Hottie of the Month: Matthew Fox

Thanks to Sarah for the info.

This Fox is shrouded in mystery

Every week we fall more blindly in love with him on ABC's insanely popular series Lost, in which the 41-year-old plays Jack Shephard, leader of a group of clueless plane-crash survivors stranded on a spooky island. Up next he'll star in a live-action adaptation of the animated 1960s Japanese series Speed Racer. Fox plays Racer X, the enigmatic rival-turned-partner to Emile Hirsch's title character. The entire flick, written and directed by the Wachowski brothers (the duo behind The Matrix), was filmed in front of a giant green-screen; that means that the visual effects remain mostly secret--even to Fox. Though this busy father of two seems to enjoy keeping us in the dark, we got him to shed some light on a few of life's other mysteries, like sex, skinny-dipping, and toilet seats.

We Asked...

What's one thing women need to know about men?
That pretty much everything we do revolves around women--even if it's just being near them. If you look at men's roles for the last thousand years, the desire is fundamental. We want to take care of, provide for, and be of service to…women.

Have you ever done anything that's as good as or better than sex?
No. That's really the pinnacle of our existence! People use that saying a lot--"Oh, this ice cream is orgasmic!" There are a lot of things in life that give you enjoyment, but sex is by far the best.

How can a woman tell when a man is head-over-heels in love with her?
She'll know when he starts putting the toilet seat down.

What we uncovered about Fox's...

1. Beer-and-bull-filled childhood His mom and dad raised cattle and horses and grew barley for Coors on a Wyoming ranch.

2. Aversion to shrinking nads He didn't learn to swim until he was 21 because the water in his hometown lake was too cold.

3. Desire to make some money and run He went to Columbia University, where he studied economics and played on the football team.

4. Refusal to join the ranks He was headed for Wall Street but switched to modeling instead.

5. Smelly secret Before he quit smoking in 2007, he hid the bad habit from his two kids.

6. Inability to reference The Brady Bunch He didn't have a TV in his house because his parents wouldn't allow one.

7. Kinky hobbies He enjoys skinny-dipping because he's "comfortable in the nude."
