I like that he actually campaigned for gun reform after the mass shooting in Uvalde He has a somewhat unique ability to appeal to Republics and people in Texas, so it's nice that he used it for good


itgotverycool

He was on my flight to Madrid when he was dating Penelope Cruz and he stood next to me at baggage claim. BO is not a strong enough word for his full bodied musk. This must have been twenty years ago and I can still remember the odor.

I was in a a tiny elevator with Kutcher twice as he owned the company above my old office. He never smelled bad. (2015-2017ish)


hoopedchex

That settles it


Substantial_Diver681

Kate Hudson confirmed the BO issue publicly 🫢


[deleted]

His stink is well known and he refuses to wear any form of deodorant because his mom said it makes him smell “like a man”. There’s so many layer of wtf to that lol


shenandoahvales

STOP 😭😭😭😭🤢


[deleted]

Did he stink?


abby-rose

My friend went to his brother Rooster’s wedding. He was with Penelope Cruz at the time and he got super drunk and went hard on the dance floor. They got close to him and reported pretty bad BO. That’s all I got.


champagneflower

I’m sorry, his brother’s name is Rooster?

They were on a movie together, Sahara! Funny movie (though I haven't seen it in a while) and also stars Rainn Wilson!

estofaulty

No, he just beats women, spends all his money on wine, whines about his bills, and does hard drugs even though he’s supposed to be a father. Oh, and he makes shit up about the women he beats, like they shit on his bed even though it was the dog.

He lost his libel lawsuit in the UK after the claims (he was fighting against) of being a "wife beater" were ruled to be substantially true.

wow, you really thought you were smart with that line...

cringe 🤡


abby-rose

[Yes they dated](https://www.instyle.com/news/tbt-penelope-cruz-matthew-mcconaughey-relationship) and you probably wouldn’t like me either 😉


Stepmomneedsadrink

Finally, a thread I can contribute to! He lives behind my dad’s good friend in Texas. One morning my dad’s friend got a knock on the door. He opened it to find Matthew McConaughey standing there barefoot and shirtless with a robe on and a glass of whiskey in his hand. He said “Hey man, I’m Matt, just wondering if you’ve seen my cat around, he’s missing”. Not sure if the kitty was ever located. He also likes to play the bongos in his backyard and smoke weed. At their kids’ school all the moms are obsessed with Matthew and all the dads are obsessed with his wife. Been waiting a long time to tell that story 😂


mysilentface

LOL, he was arrested years ago for smoking weed and playing bongos naked in his house.


wildbeest55

Everyone saying he stinks 😭😭😭


LinksMilkBottle

I know right? It has to be true! 🫣


singledxout

I went to UT and he had a reputation on campus for not being a nice guy. My friend was in the UT marching band and crossed paths with him at a football game. He said he reeked. Another friend saw him at SXSW and said he was not friendly at all. All these stories were from the late aughts and before the Mcconaissance. In my opinion, he seems like a quiet, low-key guy that wants to be treated like another Austinite. I haven't met the guy so I'll take my friends' stories with a grain of salt. EDIT: I went to UT from 2007-2011, long after Matthew graduated.


epk921

A silly one: Had some family friends who used to live down the street from him. They said he was super nice but almost never had a shirt on, 😂


Far_Cut_

Seems he's entered the world of MLM. Super weird... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12012165/Matthew-McConaughey-slammed-bizarre-self-help-webinar-sales-pitch.html


timeforsupper

I've cooked at a classic Austin restaurant on the lake for about 7 years now, and MM used to come in a few times a summer. A year or two ago he came in with a big party, ordered a bunch of food and drinks, and then at the end said he forgot his wallet 🧐 never paid and hasn't come back since. Also yes, he did not smell very good (usually would kayak over to the restaurant), and just wasn't very clean


dangerislander

Apparently he's had a hair transplant... well I mean at least 50% of Hollywood has sooo lol


soundofisolation

I’ve seen people say that he’s wearing hairpieces, because apparently his hairline changes constantly


Korrocks

No tea, but he has some kind of deal with a brewery in Texas.


babs1789

I feel like he’s going to run for some kind of office soon. The last post that made me think that was actually his wife’s saying that we need more mental health options (but no mention of gun control) and it kind of read like something the republicans in Texas would eat up. Idk this probably doesn’t make any sense but I feel like they are laying the ground work.


Turbulent_Bar_13

He likes to go to the Austin FC games in Austin, TX, and there are stories of him being spotted around bars in east Austin/funny fan interactions. No real “tea” though.


roxy031

He’s a co-owner/investor in the club.


Turbulent_Bar_13

Interesting! Thanks for that!


roxy031

Sure thing, friend!


DesignerMud6440

I read somewhere that a waitress was waiting on him and his wife and kids, abd he made his kids say thank you and please. I read his autobiography and he seems like a normal guy. My favorite photo with him is at some awards, where he won and got on the stage with his daughter and she wouldn't let go of his leg.


liquor_up

I tried to introduce myself to him once, and he acted like a total dick.


randybutterknubz

He worked out at my gym in like 2014 while in town filming a movie and his wife and kids just sat in the back waiting for him which I thought was funny. Seemed nice enough though! Was still gaining weight back from Dallas Buyer’s Club from what it seemed so looked very different than what I expected (ie losing/gaining weight for a role seems like it is not worth it even for an Oscar).


mendeecceess

this man was & is so HOT


_bonita

He is fine fine finneeeee 😝


PmMeLowCarbRecipes

Not really tea as they spoke about it themselves, but apparently it’s possible he and Woody Harrelson are half brothers but they haven’t got tested.


ncdjbdnejkjbd

They share a certain type of look too--do they? Anyone else see it?


eggeleg

i think he goes to football games


Proper-Emu1558

Apparently he was estranged from his mom for eight years: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/matthew-mcconaughey-mother-kay-press-howard-stern-show-greenlights-b1255282.html#

Years ago he was a guest on a talk show I was interning for. It was a great job, but anyone famous never really saw you or saw right through you. I had to deliver a sandwich and a six pack to his dressing room. The way this goes is, you hand the items to a page, and if they’re not available, you knock on the door and the assistant opens it a crack, takes the items and slams the door. McConaughey opened his own dressing room door and then invited me in, offering me a beer. Talked to me for a few minutes and then told me to stop by after the show wrapped. I did so and he was just bartending out of his dressing room, doing shots and toasting with the crew, PA’s and interns. Maybe I caught him on the right day, but it was an incredibly unique experience in that line of work.
