More about Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey, born in Uvalde, Texas in 1969, is one of Hollywood’s most versatile and charismatic actors. He first caught the public’s attention in the cult classic Dazed and Confused in 1993 and went on to establish himself as a leading man through films like A Time to Kill, Contact, and Amistad. In the 2000s, he became known as the go-to rom-com star with hits such as The Wedding Planner and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

McConaughey's career took a bold turn in the early 2010s when he deliberately stepped away for a two-year hiatus to avoid being typecast and to explore roles with real depth. This breakthrough path led to his transformative, Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club, where he shed nearly 50 pounds to fully embody the character in a role that redefined his career. He continued to excel with roles in True Detective, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
