Eight Things You Never Knew About 'Matty Fresh'
Most fans don't know that Matthew Morrison has a quirky side, one that keeps him grounded. After all, it's easy to stay humble when you're nicknamed after a brand of kitty litter...
1. An early TV appearance led to his goofy nickname. "My first real job was back in 1999 on The Late Show With David Letterman.' I was part of this skit with a fake boy band called Fresh Step you know, like the kitty litter. And it just stuck after that. Now, everyone calls me Matty Fresh. In fact, now, it's just Fresh. As in, Hey, Fresh! What's up?'"
2. He also dreamed of being David Beckham. "I would rather be on a soccer field than anywhere else."
3. He can't tan. "It's in my contract. The show supposedly takes place in Ohio, so I can't look like I just got back from Hawaii."
4. He's a college dropout. "I went to NYU for a year and a half and then left. I didn't feel I needed any more from there because I got such a great start at the High School of the Arts. They taught me so much, I felt ahead of the game."
5. Favorite high school hangout: Mustard's on Katella Avenue in Los Alamitos. "I always ordered The Snappy. It was a hot dog and it kind of, like, snapped. I don¹t know how to explain it. But it did! It snapped when you bit into it!"
6. Favorite grownup hangout: Matiki Island Barbeque in Anaheim. "I get the No. 6 combo short ribs and teriyaki chicken with a side of white rice and macaroni salad."
7. He's working on an album. "It will be sort of Dean Martin-esque. Just me and a big orchestra doing some standards and some original songs."
8. He didn't make the first cut after auditioning to get into the High School of the Arts. "I was wait-listed. I was totally bummed out. I thought maybe I wasn't talented enough. But, that said, things happen in life that make you work harder. So, when I was allowed in, I was honored to be there."
Oh, and get used to me writing about Matt Morrison because I adore him and everything he does!
OMG *fans self* Album??? ALBUM?!? *faints*
