Matthew Fox’s DUI arrest

It seems the latest Hollywood trend isn’t a clothing brand but a DUI. Matthew Fox was arrested near his home in Bend, Oregon on Friday May 5, for driving under the influence. The World War Z actor and a passenger were on their way to a fast food restaurant when the police pulled him over. At approximately 3:23 a.m. Fox was taken into custody and released a few hours later. Details remain unclear, but the arrest was alcohol-related. Back in 2009, we witnessed Fox’s first reputation jeopardy, when it was reported he’d had an affair with a stripper. “The story is not true, and I’m not going to comment on it,” said Fox. “Margherita [wife] and I have been best friends and best lovers. She’s the love of my life.” In August 2011, after his attempt to board a private party bus in Cleveland, Ohio, it was reported Fox punched the female driver in the chest. The prosecutors decided not to charge the actor — however — Fox launched a counter suit against the driver, claiming he’d lost jobs because of the media attention and had received “public hatred, contempt, ridicule and shame.” One thing seems to be true — once a bad boy, always a bad boy. ~Graeme Mollison
