The life of the A-listers is quite different from what it looks like from afar. Matty Matheson who recently turned into an actor for the comedy-drama series, The Bear, also realized how things are very different from what they seem to be. Matheson is not a full-time actor as such, he owns a takeout restaurant in Toronto, Canada which goes by the name Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club.

Matty Matheson once opened up about how he used to feel about sets before he never saw or appeared on one and how his outlook changed after starring in The Bear.
Matty Matheson talks about sets and Friends
It is quite understandable how people often get confused by the sets of shows and movies that they see on their screens. Although the sets of some large-scale movies and series are absolutely huge, that is not the case for smaller series or movies. Most of the sets that we see in the series are built in a relatively smaller area like that of a plane hanger.
Matheson who was not so used to being on the sets for a long time before definitely never realized that and once in an interview with Interview Magazine, the actor opened up about how he felt about sets and Friends before he appeared as Neil Fak on The Bear. He said,
“I never understood what a set was. Now I’m on a set inside of an airplane hangar for three months, and this whole world’s created within it. You’re telling me that on Friends, all these people were just going to a concrete cave? And all these actors just live in these fucking caves? That’s the craziest thing to me.”

The Bear actor talks about how his one recipe video saved his life
Matty Matheson also used to host primetime Vice TV’s It’s Suppertime! back in 2016 and once talked about how his one recipe video changed everything in his life. Matheson’s specialty is burgers as he also owns a restaurant of the name, Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club. So, back in 2016, Matheson gave his cheeseburger recipe to the world and it really changed his life. Talking about his time with Vice TV, Matheson said,
“They put me on. The glory years were something, and then turned into what it turned into. But that first cheeseburger video changed my life. Without it, I’d still just be a chef, or maybe not. Maybe I’d be dead.”
Matty Matheson had no interest in becoming an actor as such, he was happy managing his restaurant in Toronto. However, when he received the call to portray a role in The Bear, he took a chance and became a star as the series went on to become a massive success.
The Bear is currently streaming on Hulu.
