Happy Birthday: Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey

Born: November 4, 1969 in Uvalde, Texas, USA

Married to:
Camila Alves (9 June 2012 – present) (3 children)

(on how he got started in acting) I was about 21 when I started. I dropped out of law school to go to film school — the idea of practicing law for my whole life seemed a little boring. I was doing more directing stuff to start with, until a student mate asked me to be in his film Dazed and Confused (1993). A professional guy named Don Phillips spotted me and the rest is history.

(on Hollywood) I love it. It’s silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really.
