There are many secrets on the island of “Lost.” But I’ve uncovered at least one all by myself. Desmond, played by Henry Ian Cusick, is somehow related to guitar legend Eric Clapton. It’s gotta be. Every time I see Desmond on screen, I think, “Holy crap, Slowhand is on ‘Lost.’ Maybe he’ll jam with Charlie.”
Now, if you watch “Lost,” you know everything and everyone is connected in some way. Claire is really Jack’s half-sister. Hurley owned the box company where Locke worked. Libby was in that psych hospital with Hurley. Rose once gave Sawyer a Hershey bar when he was 12 years old…and so on. But if the uncanny physical resemblance between Desmond and Clapton hasn’t convinced you, maybe these other connections will…
Convinced? Okay, let me hit you with another of my theories: the strange occurrences on the island of “Lost” are really part of a drug-induced nightmare that Eric Clapton had after a concert at the Budokan in the late ’70s. Time will prove me right.
Hi there.
Could you please include a spoiler warning to the beginning of this post, because I guess many people who haven’t watched LOST to the end yet, are interested into this article and how LOST’s Desmond is probably connected to Eric Clapton.
So please, if you’ve enjoyed LOST as much as I did and want others to enjoy it likewise, put a spoiler warning on top of the text.
….He also both men had drug abuse problems – Cucik was tossed out of his drama school after a few months for smoking weed too often and missing classes, Clapton was well known for snorting the Colombian Marching Powder…. spooky
Good post, it will be interesting to see if you are correct…
There’s also a Clapton’s song called “I get Lost.” “Lost” bein the title of the show tht Cucik is in.
And also Desmond had a particular connection with Charlie, the only musician on the island!
My husband keeps saying how much they look alike, so much so that he searched out this blog and sent it to me to prove he is right. In my opinion (and now that I see them next to each other – more so) they look nothing alike. You cut their hair and remove all facial hair and what do you get? Nothing. Look at their noses, they are nothing alike. Their eyes? nothing. Maybe their eyebrows have some similarity. I should start a blog saying how much they do not look alike.
BTW clapton was addicted to plenty of substances but he only flirted with cocaine. just fyi. and yeah desmond guy totaly is clapton’s long LOST twin.
are all of you really stupid enough to believe that JJ abrams would make a show that is secretly a drug induced dream of Eric Clapton? By the way, desmond isnt even a main character and doesnt show up in the show until season two. “Cusick’s wife’s maiden name is Wood. Clapton is most famous for playing the guitar, which is made out of — you guessed it — wood.”- ya im sure the creators of lost thought of that.
