Sometimes the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. Lost star Matthew Fox says that his lifetime love affair with cars has been passed on to his son Byron, 7. Calling cars “part of our genetic makeup,” the 42-year-old actor shares in the latest issue of Details magazine that Byron “does the sound effects and everything” while playing with his collection of Matchbox cars. Matthew adds,

“He dressed up as Racer X for Halloween. One of the highlights of my life.”

Next up for the family of four — which includes Matthew’s wife of 17 years, Margherita, and the couple’s daughter Kyle Allison, 10 – is a move from Hawaii to Oregon. After experiencing island life Matthew says he’s ready to move closer to home. “My brother is there, my mother is there,” Matthew explains. “I really miss that kind of wide-open space, and there’s a big part of me that wants the kids to live in that mountain air.”

The fifth season of Lost premieres January 21 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

   Blackrose, I’m just curious why you would wish they would have another kid? Aren’t two kids enough for anyone anymore?

   Anyway, amazing he’s been married 17 years. That’s like forever in Hollywood, and he’s got good points about moving from Hawaii to Oregon. Space really is at a premium in Hawaii as there is only so much land and so many people moving there not to mention the tourism.

   I wonder when Lost will be done. I mean it took 3 years to get the folks off Gilligan’s Island, and with all the technology in today’s world, satelittes and everything, why did it take so long and why the heck are they going back? I’ll never understand that show, hehe.
