Matthew McConaughey

Matthew David McConaughey is an American actor born on November 4, 1969, in Uvalde, Texas, who initially achieved his breakthrough with a supporting role in the coming-of-age comedy Dazed and Confused (1993). He later graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Radio-Television-Film. His career advanced with a leading role in the legal drama A Time to Kill (1996), followed by appearances in films like the science fiction feature Contact (1997) and the historical drama Amistad (1997). During the 2000s, he became known for starring as a leading man in romantic comedies such as The Wedding Planner (2001) and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003). In the early 2010s, he shifted his focus toward more dramatic and critically acclaimed roles—a career redirection dubbed the "McConaissance"—which included films like The Lincoln Lawyer (2011), Mud (2012), and Magic Mike (2012). This culminated in his portrayal of Ron Woodroof in the biographical drama Dallas Buyers Club (2013), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. He continued his critically acclaimed work with a starring role in the television crime drama True Detective (2014) and the science fiction film Interstellar (2014). McConaughey is a published author, having released his memoir Greenlights in 2020, and he is married to Camila Alves, with whom he has three children.
