You may remember last month that exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt reunited for a star-studded virtual reading of the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Matthew McConaughey, one of the participants in the reading, was asked on Watch What Happens Live! if the former married couple were exuding any sexual tension during the reading.

“Could I feel the heat through the screen of Brad? So palpable. Yeah, it was so palpable,” Matthew said while laughing. “No, it was — I noticed that after — that’s what a lot of the topics were about that, or about them,” he added. No, I actually didn’t notice anything through the screen, but that made for a good topic the next day.”

Matthew McConaughey has revealed that he thought about leaving show business and taking up a much different career.

In the newest episode of Apple TV+’s The Oprah Conversation, via EW, the 50-year-old Oscar winner shared that he actually almost called it quits for real while he was trying to break away from romantic comedies.

“I dabbled with thinking about other careers,” he shared, revealing that the careers he was considering included high school football coach, symphony orchestra leader, wildlife guide, and schoolteacher.

He was steadfast in his decision at the time, saying that “I was not going back.”

But, he did go back and went on to star in Mud, Magic Mike, and Dallas Buyers Club, which won him the Oscar for Best Actor in 2014.

“Just the same way I went to Australia for a year and stayed on a handshake, I was in,” Matthew adds about how his attitude contributed to his decision. “I started to get that feeling that even though the harder this gets, this means there’s more reward on the other side. Stick with it, stay in it, don’t pull the parachute, McConaughey.”

Earlier this summer, other celebrities revealed other jobs they have had, too.

Matthew McConaughey has a mini-me!

The -year-old actor’s wife, model Camila Alves McConaughey, shared an incredibly rare photo of their eldest son, 12-year-old Levi, on social media this week and many couldn’t get over the fact he looks just like his father.

In the image, Camila and Levi had just wrapped up a mother and son baking session with their friend, chef Rocco DiSpirito.

“The look on our faces says it all,” she wrote about the delicious dessert they had made.

The treat marked the celebration of Matthew‘s new memoir, “Greenlights”, which came out this week.

“It’s been a week full of celebration,” Camila added. “We had an excuse to make this amazing dessert. Judges at home give it a 10/10!”

Just recently, Levi joined his parents, and siblings Vida and Livingston, as well as his grandmother Mary at the 2019 Texas Medal Of Arts Awards. See the pics of the whole family here…

Matthew McConaughey revealed that he was once estranged from his mother Kay for eight years and he’s revealing why.

“I would have conversations and then all of a sudden—whoop—what we’d talk about would end up in the paper three days later,” Matthew said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show. “I was like, ‘Mom, that was between us!’” The turning point was when he turned on his television and saw his mom giving a tour of his childhood home. Her response was ‘I didn’t think you’d find out.’”

Matthew has since patched things up with his mom, saying, “I’ve forgiven her. It wasn’t her fault. I just had to make some boundaries,” he said. “It was tough for eight years, but we went through it and we’re on the other side of it. It’s good.”

Matthew‘s mom talked to the press about this topic concerning his dad all the way back in 2008.

Matthew McConaughey is getting really personal in his memoir for “Greenlights.”

Early on in the book, the 50-year-old actor spoke out about losing his virginity at age 15 and says he was “blackmailed” into it.

“I was blackmailed into having sex for the first time when I was fifteen,” Matthew wrote in the memoir. “I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex. Today, I am merely certain that I hope that’s not the case.”

He also added that he was “molested by a man when I was eighteen while unconscious in the back of a van.”

He added that he never let these two negative memories make him feel like a victim.

Matthew wrote, “I’ve never felt like a victim. I have a lot of proof that the world is conspiring to make me happy.”

In the memoir, he also wrote about the surprising way his father passed away.

Matthew McConaughey is opening up about leaving romantic comedies behind in his new memoir, “Greenlights”.

The 50-year-old actor wrote about how romantic comedies were great for him during the 2010s, starring in such movies as The Wedding Planner, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, and Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past, among others.

But after a decade starring in them, he was looking for other things.

“The romantic comedies remained my only consistent box office hits, which made them my only consistent incoming offers,” he wrote. “For me personally, I enjoyed being able to give people a nitty-minute breezy romantic getaway from the stress of their lives where they didn’t have to think about anything, just watch the boy chase the girl, fall down, then get up and finally get her. I had taken the baton from Hugh Grant, and I ran with it.”

Matthew added that he “enjoyed making romantic comedies, and their paychecks rented the houses on the beach I ran shirtless on,” but when the time came to move on he did so without looking back.

He even shared that he turned down a $14.5 million paycheck in 2010 to make another rom-com.

While he didn’t reveal which movie it was, he was serious about furthering his career beyond that genre.

“I declined the offer,” he says. “If I couldn’t do what I wanted, I wasn’t going to do what I didn’t, no matter the price.”

Elsewhere in his memoir, Matthew revealed just how his father James passed away. See what he said here…

Matthew McConaughey is opening up about the death of his father James, who passed away in 1992.

The 50-year-old Oscar-winning actor is getting ready to release his new memoir Greenlights and he opened up about his family during an interview with People.

Matthew revealed that his dad died just how he predicted he would: making love to his wife.

“I got a call from my Mom. ‘Your dad died.’ My knees buckled. I couldn’t believe it. He was my dad. Nobody or nothing could kill him. Except mom. He’d always told me and my brothers, ‘Boys, when I go, I’m gonna be makin’ love to your mother.’ And that’s what happened. He had a heart attack when he climaxed,” Matthew said.

Matthew also opened up about his parents’ relationship.

“They were, at times, violent,” he told People. “As I say in the book, that is how they communicated. They were divorced twice, married three times, I mean, yeah, it was like the Pacific Ocean in a storm.”

Matthew and his wife Camila Alves talked about the importance of “tough love” this summer.
