'Lost' star Matthew Fox finally reveals why he left Los Angeles

Matthew Fox has finally revealed why he left Los Angeles and moved to Italy.

In a new interview with People magazine, the Lost alum shared that he moved to Italy because he wanted to spend more time with his family.

"I spent a lot of time, for a few years there [in Los Angeles], heavily in the spotlight, specifically with Lost, and then did a couple of years of doing films after that," said Matthew. "For me, the step away was more about spending time with my family."

The 59-year-old star shares two kids, daughter Kyle and son Byron, with Margherita Ronchi.

"Our daughter was entering her teen years, and I had been on sets and also traveling around doing a lot of promotion for Lost. Margherita and I really felt like it was a great time for us to really, really focus on our kids that are going through the teen years, which is always a bit of a challenge," said Matthew.

"When you're in this business, I think it's really good to carve out a place where you feel like you're living life. I think that feeds the work you do when you reenter and take a gig," added the TV star.

For those unversed, Matthew rose to fame after playing Dr. Jack Shepard in Lost from 2004 to 2010.
