“I haven’t been here for so long and so I really wanted to come back,” said Matt Dillon in an interview with “Wien heute”. However, it is actually like a first visit to Vienna – because his last was around 30 years ago, according to the actor.
In any case, Vienna is “a really beautiful and incredible city,” said the 57-year-old. Schnitzel and Sacher-Torte were also well received – but more eloquently he went into raptures in the Viennese museums: “The museums here have some of the most incredible works of art.” Dillon already had time to visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum. He said he visited the current Tizian show and the Bruegel permanent exhibition there.
