Matt admitted on The Russell Brand Show that he had some unusual escapades on a farm as a child. In order to inform the chicks, for whom he was caring, about the horrors of mortality, he picked each one up in turn and showed them the weaker, dying chicks that didn't survive the hatching process. Out of curiosity, he also pushed a chicken into the sow enclosure. He was discovered when he naively asked the farmer what would happen if the chicken went into the sow pen.
