Dillon spent the most of his childhood in Mamaroneck, New York where he was raised as a Roman Catholic. His ethnicity is primarily Irish with traces of German and Scottish.

In the most unusual of fashions, Dillon was discovered by the casting directors of teen drama, Over the Edge while he was cutting class at Hommocks Middle School. He scored a part in the film which became his debut. Dillon’s performance earned critical acclaim and with no further proof, Dillon made up his mind to pursue an acting career.

A somewhat stubborn teen IRL, Dillon would go on to draw from personal experiences to play tough characters most notably in the adaptation of S E Hinton novels – Tex (1982), Rumble Fish (1983) and The Outsiders (1983). He shined into the 90s with roles in To Die For (1995) and There’s Something About Mary (1998). Dillon would add directing and screenwriting to his repertoire releasing his film, City of Ghosts (2002). His career broke into a new level thanks to his role in Crash (2004) which earned him an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination. The actor continues to make unmatched contributions to the entertainment industry.

Girlfriend/Wife, Is Matt Gay or Married?

As far as we can tell, Matt Dillon’s sexual orientation is straight and not gay. His relationship with multiple women over the years is the greatest attestation to the fact that the actor is not gay.

As of this writing, Dillon is in a relationship with Roberta Mastromichele. The two have been a couple since 2014 and were first spotted out together in February 2015 in Italy and then France. Since then, the couple has made frequent trips to the Italian capital. Mark and Roberta have remained largely mum about the details of their romantic life, posting only occasionally on Instagram photos of their many trips. They appear to share a common passion for photography.

Though Dillon has never been married to any of the women he’s been with, speculations are that Roberta would be his first Mrs. The couple sparked engagement rumors when in one of their usual trips to the Italian Capital in June 2017, paparazzi photographed Roberta sporting what looked like an engagement ring on her wedding ring finger.

When their reps were contacted about the engagement ring, they left no replies. Roberta Mastromichele works as a film choreographer and is best known for her work in the 2010 film, The Tourist.
