Matt Davis on "Cult", Guyliner, & Alter Egos

That is Matt Davis's finger. And we are playing the celebrity edition of Who's on that Pillow. Who is this? That's what I want to know. See, Matt came and didn't know who this was. Can you can you zoom in on this? It is a little James Franco.

Oh. I think he was in character. The mustache, he was in. He was in character for I see it now. Something for something else.

But basically, how are you with the rest? Probably. Can you can you identify this gentleman?

No.

Are you kidding me? Who is it?

Adam Sandler. Stop. You're fooling with me. That's not Adam Sandler.

It sure is. Who is that? That's what I want to know. Who is that?

That's a little Billy Bob Thornton. He is he's a little incognito in that. I see it. Yes. I need my sunglasses.

Would you like to be on the Young Hollywood pillow?

I do, but I want to be where Selena.

Selena Gomez, yes. Why do I know her? How embarrassing is that? Yes, you've just revealed a lot about yourself. You didn't know Billy Bob Thornton, but you know yourself some Selena Gomez. All right. So called. So so it is sort of a show within a show.

Yeah.

And you play a reporter.

Yes.

Let me get to see if I got this right. Your brother disappears.

Yes.

He was obsessed with this show.

Yes.

And his obsession goes to another level, which you may have experienced being on Vampire Diaries.

Yes. My obsession went to another level being on Vampire Diaries, indeed.

Your obsession with Vampire Diaries. Right. Of course, that's what you were talking about. Picking up where you left off.

My brother. My brother goes missing because of this show that he watches. Yes. And my brother um has left a number of clues that I, as an investigative journalist, follow. Okay. And it takes me down this dark rabbit hole that leads me to the cult, which is sort of hiding behind a television show manipulating fans through some sort of, you know, hidden message code to do the bidding of a hidden master. Right.

We're going to play a game. It's called Achieving Cult Status. It's sort of things that you are obsessed with.

I love it already.

Achieving cult status. Yes. In your eyes, is there a gadget technology item that has achieved cult status?

What is that magnificent rectangular thing? I've never seen such thing before in my life. This is a portal to the cult. I get one.

Okay, album.

In Rainbows. Radiohead.

I love that I didn't even know who that was. I'm a bit of a music nerd. You can teach me a few things about that. You didn't know who Radiohead was?

I know Radiohead. I just didn't know the album.

Film. Let's move on. Film. Favorite film, cult status film, in Matt Davis's eyes.

Fight Club. Don't talk about Fight Club. All right? Yeah, just don't.

TV show.

Sherlock.

Cosmetic item. I had to throw that one in there.

I have to go with guyliner. Really? I don't I don't have any on right now, unfortunately. because if I did, I would have all of you mesmerized.

Honestly, the guyliner I find quite hot. Do you rock that the guyliner when you go out?

I try to, but I always find myself humiliated when I try to pull it off. They're like, are you wearing guyliner? And I'm like, yeah.

Do you have one with you today? Guyliner?

Yeah. I don't.

Makeup artist. On that note. Oh, no. This is the liquid eyeliner. You realize this doesn't come off easily. Don't tell me I'm lying. Okay. I'm not really good at drawing a straight line. Now, do you want to I mean, or you're gonna or you're gonna make it look outrageously ridiculous?

Well, I actually have a another idea.

No. Okay, an item of clothing, cult status.

I I I've been wearing these boots a lot lately. They're like cult boots.

They'll go great when your eyeliner is on. So, let's talk about your turn, Ernesto Oreilly, your alter ego. So, it came about in a dream. Is that the truth or is that what you're just saying?

That's right. No, he came to me in a dream.

Really?

Mhm.

And who is he?

He's everything that I'm not.

I needed an alter ego. So, I was hoping you would help me out with that. Okay. Okay. All right. So, we first need to name me. What what name comes to your mind right now? Say it.

Angel Hawthorne. Done.

Angel Hawthorne. See how quick that was? It came to you in a dream. She's everything you are not. How's Matt on a first date versus your alter ego on a first date?

Ernesto's much more interesting on a first date.

Really?

I would I would say so.

Okay. In what sense?

Well, he's much more free. He's much more outgoing. You know, he's he doesn't like to hold back. He just puts it out there.

Okay. He does. He puts out on the first on the first date. And Matt?

Shy, awkward, overly polite. Really? You don't want to hang out with him.

Doesn't that just get in the way? It's annoying. Don't you hate that? No one likes nice guys.

Not true. That's true. Kindness.

Jessica Lucas, your co-star, is going to be in here next week.

Is she?

What should we ask her?

Okay. Jessica Lucas, apparently, I had said to her before a take, I said, okay, it's time to shine. And she got so mad at me. She's like, don't you ever tell me to shine again. I was like, Are you serious? I was like, what are you talking about? She's like, I hate it when people say that so much. Because people just say that all the time. That's right, though. I'm like, who says that anymore? That was such an odd thing to be.

And what did and what did you And you were just working towards your goals.

I spent the rest of the season telling her to get ready to shine.

Oh, you did. You didn't let it go.

Yeah. So when you interview her, I suggest before you start shooting, you say, Jessica, it's time to shine. You're on.

Yeah, just do that. Thank you for that tip. And thank you for coming in. This was the most fun.

My pleasure.

Next time you're here. You'll be right here. Right here, baby. That's right. Next to this guy. Who's that? That's R J, our CEO. That's the guy you got to suck up to. Right there, baby. Right next to R J. See, I know good real estate when I see it.
