Early life and education

Matthew David McConaughey was born on November 4, 1969, in Uvalde, Texas.[1][2] He has Irish heritage, particularly from the County Cavan/County Monaghan area.[3] His mother, Mary Kathleen (née McCabe), a published author and a former kindergarten teacher,[4] was from Trenton, New Jersey.[5] His father, James Donald McConaughey, also had Irish roots.[3] He was born in Mississippi in 1929 and raised in Louisiana[6] where he ran an oil pipe supply business; he played for the Kentucky Wildcats and the Houston Cougars college football teams.[7] Jim was selected by the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL) in the 27th round of the 1953 NFL draft. He was released before the season began and never played an official league game in the NFL.[8] McConaughey's parents married each other three times, having divorced each other twice.[9] He has two older brothers, Michael and Patrick (who was adopted).[10] Michael, nicknamed "Rooster", is a millionaire who starred in the CNBC docu-series West Texas Investors Club.[11] The family were Methodists.[12]

He is a relative of Confederate brigadier general Dandridge McRae.[13]

McConaughey moved to Longview, Texas, in 1980[5] and later attended Longview High School. In 1988 he went to Australia thinking he would be attending a high school in Sydney. Instead he lived in Warnervale, New South Wales for a year while he went to Gorokan High School (he was a Rotary Youth Exchange student) and worked as an assistant for an attorney and as a bank teller for ANZ.[14][15]

He attended the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin), where he joined the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.[16] He began in the fall of 1989 and graduated in the spring of 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Radio-Television-Film.[17]

His original plan changed as he had wanted to attend Southern Methodist University until one of his brothers told him that private-school tuition would have been a burden on the family's finances. He had planned to attend law school after graduation from college[18] but discovered he did not have any interest in becoming a lawyer.[5]

Career

Early 1990s–2000: Breakthrough and rise to prominence

In the early 1990s, McConaughey began working in television commercials.[19] In 1992, he was cast as the boyfriend in the music video for "Walkaway Joe", a song by Trisha Yearwood featuring Don Henley.[20] Also that year, he acted in an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.[21]

Bob Balaban's My Boyfriend's Back premiered on August 6, 1993, where McConaughey made his first big screen appearance as ''Guy 2''.[22] On September 24, Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused premiered.[23][24][25][26] McConaughey played Wooderson in a large ensemble cast of actors who would later become stars. He was not originally cast in the film, as the role of Wooderson was originally small and meant to be cast locally for budget purposes.[27] At the time of casting, he was a film student at the University of Texas in Austin and went out with his girlfriend to the Hyatt hotel bar.[28] He approached casting director Don Phillips.[29] Phillips recalls, "The bartender says to him, 'See that guy down there? That's Don Phillips. He cast Sean Penn in Fast Times.' And Matthew goes, 'I'm gonna go down and talk to this guy.'" Phillips also recalls that Linklater didn't like McConaughey at first "because he was too handsome". During production, another character named Pickford was meant to be a larger role. Due to the behavior of the actor playing Pickford with other cast members, his screen time was cut in favor of McConaughey's character, Wooderson. Linklater recalled "There was another actor who was kind of the opposite [of McConaughey]. He wasn't really getting along with everybody. I could tell the actors weren't responding to him."[30] Much of the Wooderson role was improvised or written on the spot.[30] Dazed and Confused was released on September 24, 1993, in 183 theaters, grossing $918,127 on its opening weekend. It went on to make $7.9 million in North America.[31] The film received positive reviews from critics. The film generally gets favorable reviews.[32] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 92% approval rating. The website's critical consensus reads: "Featuring an excellent ensemble cast, a precise feel for the 1970s, and a killer soundtrack, Dazed and Confused is a funny, affectionate, and clear-eyed look at high school life."[33] In her review for The Austin Chronicle, Marjorie Baumgarten gave particular praise to Matthew McConaughey's performance: "He is a character we're all too familiar with in the movies, but McConaughey nails this guy without a hint of condescension or whimsy, claiming this character for all time as his own".[34]

In 1994, McConaughey acted in Angels in the Outfield, The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Daniel Johnston's music video "Life in Vain". McConaughey acted in Herbert Ross' Boys on the Side, which premiered on February 3, 1995.[35] That year he also acted in a crime thriller, Brian Cox's Scorpion Spring.[36] John Sayles' Lone Star (1996) is a neo-Western mystery film set in a small town in South Texas. McConaughey is in an ensemble cast that features Chris Cooper, Kris Kristofferson, and Elizabeth Peña.[37] McConaughey played the lawyer Jake Brigance in Joel Schumacher's A Time to Kill which premiered July 24.[38] The film is based on the John Grisham courtroom crime novel of the same name.[39] In an ensemble piece McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kevin Spacey share the top billing. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 67%. The critics' consensus reads: "Overlong and superficial, A Time to Kill nonetheless succeeds on the strength of its skillful craftsmanship and top-notch performances".[40] In the U.S. it reached number one during its first two weeks and grossed over $108 million domestically, and an additional $43,500,000 was made internationally.[41] At the MTV Movie Awards, McConaughey won Best Breakthrough Performance.[42] Larger Than Life is a road comedy film starring Bill Murray and directed by Howard Franklin; McConaughey played a supporting role.[43] Also that year he acted in Glory Daze.[44] McConaughey starred in the science fiction film Contact (1997), directed by Robert Zemeckis, an adaptation of Carl Sagan's 1985 novel of the same name; Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan wrote the story outline for the film. In the film Jodie Foster portrays the film's protagonist.[45][46] Also that year, McConaughey starred as then-lawyer Roger Sherman Baldwin in Steven Spielberg's Amistad.[47]

The Newton Boys, co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, was released in 1998. It is based on the true story of the Newton Gang, a family of bank robbers from Uvalde, Texas. In 1999, McConaughey acted in EDtv.[19] Directed by Ron Howard, its an adaptation of the Quebecois film Louis 19, King of the Airwaves (Louis 19, le roi des ondes) (1994),[48] The film was a box office bomb, grossing only $35.2 million from an $80 million production budget.[49] In 2000, he starred in U-571, a submarine film directed by Jonathan Mostow.[50][51]

2001–2011: Romantic comedies and professional expansion

By the early 2000s, he was being cast in romantic comedies including The Wedding Planner and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days; both were successful at the box office.[52] These and others, such as Fool's Gold (2008), and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009), established him as a sex symbol.[53]

He appeared as a firefighter in a low-budget film, Tiptoes with Kate Beckinsale, in Two for the Money as a protégé to a gambling mogul, Al Pacino, and in Frailty with Bill Paxton who was also the director.[19][54] McConaughey acted in the 2005 feature film Sahara; Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz co-starred.[55] Prior to the release of the film, he promoted it by sailing down the Amazon River and trekking to Mali.[56] That same year, McConaughey was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2005.[57] In 2006 he co-starred with Sarah Jessica Parker in the romantic comedy Failure to Launch and as Marshall head football coach Jack Lengyel in We Are Marshall. McConaughey also provided voice work in an ad campaign for the Peace Corps in late 2006.[58] He replaced Owen Wilson in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder after Wilson's suicide attempt.[59] In 2008 McConaughey became the new spokesman for the national radio campaign, "Beef: It's What's for Dinner", replacing Sam Elliott.[60][61]

McConaughey recognized that his "lifestyle, living on the beach, running with my shirt off, doing romantic comedies" had caused him to be typecast for certain roles, and he sought dramatic work with other themes.[62] This shift in his choice of roles has been known as the "McConaissance" between 2011 and 2014.[63] He said:

I got to feeling like, for a few years, I was doing something that I liked to do with romantic and action comedies. But believe me, I noticed there were other things that were not coming in. And if they were coming in, it was in an independent form with a much smaller paycheck, and nobody really wanting to get behind them ... But I knew I could say no to the things I'd been doing. In saying no to those things, I knew work was going to dry up for awhile ... Year and a half, still nothing. At two years, all of a sudden, in my opinion, I became a new good idea for some good directors.[62]

2011–2014: Established actor

In 2012, McConaughey starred alongside Channing Tatum in Magic Mike, based on Tatum's early life; it was directed by Steven Soderbergh.[64] Also in 2012 came Mud, which gained him praise for his role as a fugitive.[65]

In 2013 he portrayed Ron Woodroof in the biographical drama Dallas Buyers Club.

In April 2014, Time magazine included McConaughey in its annual Time 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World".[75] In August 2014, the Lincoln Motor Company signed a multi-year collaboration with McConaughey for an ad campaign. The commercials, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), featured McConaughey as a storyteller driving a Lincoln's MKC crossover.[76] Shortly after the commercials debuted in September 2014, they were parodied by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, Jim Carrey, South Park, and Saturday Night Live. Overall sales for Lincoln increased by 25 percent one month after the ads debuted.[77] The series of commercials starring McConaughey continued for several more years; during this period he also endorsed the MKZ sedan, MKX and Nautilus crossovers and Aviator SUV.

Critic Rachel Syme dubbed his recognition and performances while taking on more complex, dramatic roles as "The McConaissance".[65] The same year, McConaughey received critical acclaim for playing Cooper, a widowed father and astronaut in Christopher Nolan's epic science fiction film Interstellar (2014).[83]

I have had – and I won't throw any people under the bus – but I have had moments where I was on stage receiving an award in front of my peers in Hollywood, and there were people in the crowd that I have prayed with before dinners many times, and when I thanked God, I saw some of those people go to clap, but then notice that, "bad thing on my resume" and then sit back on their hands.
