Actor Wails As He Films His Neighborhood Being Ravaged By California Wildfires
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING A gut-wrenching video posted by actor Cameron Mathison illustrates the devastation experienced by Los Angeles residents affected by the California wildfires. “I’ve actually never heard those sort of sounds come out of me before,” Mathison told CNN’s Laura Coates after rewatching his footage on air. It was just such a, um, kind of a guttural pain, and disbelief, and shock and fear as I was approaching my property and not seeing the house.” The actor told “Good Morning America” on Thursday that he was heading out to dinner in Pasadena on Tuesday when he first noticed the Eaton Fire in the distance, which at the time Mathison described as just a “little bright spot.” “I think I saw that Eaton Canyon fire begin,” Mathison told GMA. And I thought, ‘Well, that’s not good.’” Despite seeing the flames, Mathison decided to go out to dinner, and while he was at the restaurant, his phone began “blowing up” because the smaller fire he saw earlier had “caught and spread so quickly.” “I raced back home and I put a bag together with what I’m wearing. “I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I got in the car,” Mathison told CNN.
