Matthew McConaughey

Academy Award-Winning Actor, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Texas native Matthew McConaughey is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. A chance meeting in Austin, Texas, with casting director and producer Don Phillips led him to director Richard Linklater, who launched the actor’s career in the cult classic Dazed and Confused. Since then, he has won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ron Woodruff in Dallas Buyers Club, appeared in more than 40 feature films that have grossed more than $1 billion, and become an author, producer, and philanthropist with his just keep livin Foundation—all the while sticking to his Texas roots and “jk livin” philosophy. He is co-owner of the Austin FC soccer club and a professor at the University of Texas in Austin. In 2020, McConaughey released his first book, Greenlights, which became an instant New York Times number 1 bestseller and has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. His second book, a children’s book titled Just Because, debuted in September 2023 and was an instant New York Times number 1 bestseller. In October 2023, McConaughey and his wife, Camila, launched their own tequila brand, Pantalones, the first joint venture for the couple. He currently resides in Austin with Camila and their three kids.
