Lost star Matthew Fox on The Madison shocker…
Warning: Spoilers forward! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched the first episode of “The Madison” on Paramount+.
“Lost” star Matthew Fox just can’t keep away from a airplane crash.
“Yeah, I don’t know. I seem to be subconsciously drawn to them,” Fox, 59, solely told The Post.
In “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan’s new collection “The Madison,” (now streaming on Paramount+) — spoiler alert! — brothers Preston (Kurt Russell) and Paul (Fox) die in a airplane crash in the first episode. They seem throughout the remainder of the collection via flashbacks.

For Fox, it’s a return to type, as his iconic function in “Lost” also started with an aviation accident. He starred as Jack Shephard on the ABC hit, which aired from 2004 to 2010.
“Maybe it’s because I’m a pilot in my life, and I’m kind of getting that out of the way fictionally,” the actor quipped. He was referring to how he’s a licensed personal pilot.
“The Madison” follows the rich Clyburn household, including Stacy (Pfeiffer), her husband Preston (Russell) and their two grownup daughters: Abigail (Beau Garrett), a divorced mother of two daughters (performed by Amiah Miller and Alaina Pollack), and Paige (Elle Chapman), who is married to Russell (Patrick J. Adams).

After Preston and Paul’s tragic deaths, the surviving relations go to keep on property the brothers owned in Montana.
The “Lost” star has saved a low profile since that show ended in 2010 – he even walked away from Hollywood for a number of years, to live in Oregon with his household. Currently, he lives a quiet life in Italy.
Fox told The Post that he may relate to Paul, since the character is an avid outdoorsman who appreciates the simple life and enjoys flying and fishing.
“I grew up in northwestern Wyoming, so I know that world really well.”

Between 2014 and 2021, the “Party of Five” actor took fewer roles. But, one of his tasks during that period was the 2015 movie “Bone Tomahawk,” which Russell also starred in.
When Fox was speaking to the “Yellowstone” creator about “The Madison,” Sheridan, “also told me that he was talking to Kurt about playing Preston. That was super exciting, because I worked with Kurt over a decade ago on a little film,” he said, referring to “Bone Tomahawk.”
He added that he and Russell, “just hit it off.”
As Stacy and her grownup daughters grieve Preston, Stacy and Abigail have a number of arguments and moments of rigidity.

“There was a lot of hugging,” Garrett told The Post, referring to her scenes with Pfeiffer.
During one specific argument between onscreen mom and daughter, “we were just like, ‘oh God, how far can we go?’” she recalled.
“And we went for it…we went further than we thought we were going to go. And all you could do after a moment like that was just hug each other, and then it’s just water works.”
Garrett said that many of their emotional scenes had been, “quite raw,” and afterwards, to decompress, “we naturally just kind of came together in a cuddle puddle.”
