Why does everyone hate matthew mcconaughey

Matthew McConaughey has a few ideas for how to bring people together in this splintered political time — and it starts with shared values.

A shared sense of humor. I spend enough time with people who have been described in this manner to feel ill at ease with it. How do you feel about that kind of judgment? A post shared by Russell Brand russellbrand.

McConaughey said that was his hope, that people could come together. McConaughey doesn't have a huge role in the hilarious skewering of Hollywood and war films, but he does get some choice scenes as a high-profile talent agent who's extremely loyal and devoted to getting his washed-up client and best friend Ben Stiller a TiVo, even when the actor is kidnapped by an Asian heroin-manufacturing gang.

A spiritual predecessor to "Arrival," this sci-fi movie stars Jodie Foster as a scientist who gets the chance to communicate with aliens. McConaughey is her love interest, a Christian theologian who initially foils her chance to make contact, and a thoughtful romance blossoms from their intellectual attraction.

McConaughey doesn't do a lot of horror, but he makes the most of his turn in the unnerving psychological thriller. The late Bill Paxton directs and stars as a dad who claims to his two sons that he's been tasked by God to kill demons disguised as humans, and McConaughey is one of the grown-up kids who believes his brother is responsible for a bunch of serial killings.

The gorgeous, Asian-influenced stop-motion animated film casts McConaughey as the voice of Beetle, a macho warrior who alongside wise Monkey Charlize Theron helps a young Japanese boy Art Parkinson find his late father's suit of armor and trains him to fend off the return of the kid's evil grandfather.

McConaughey and director Christopher Nolan go to space for the sprawling, mind-bending and somewhat socially conscious sci-fi epic. Surrounded by dazzling, Oscar-winning visual effects, McConaughey is the heart and soul of the piece as a former NASA pilot called back into duty to save mankind but leave his children behind in the process. Even though he's barely in Martin Scorsese's Wall Street dramedy, McConaughey still leaves a major chest-thumping mark: In a key lunch scene, he plays a high-profile stockbroker whose morally questionable career advice sends up-and-comer Jordan Belfort Leonardo DiCaprio on his way to financial crimes and one crazy sex-and-drugs-fueled lifestyle.

McConaughey won a best actor Oscar for his wowing, transformative performance as Ron Woodroof, a cowboy electrician whose life is torn asunder when he's diagnosed with AIDS and given a month to live. He begins a scheme to smuggle in unapproved drugs and distribute them to fellow patients, first being all about the money but then growing to care for others. Most actors don't get to be in a generational movie in their breakout role, and McConaughey not only got his trademark line out of "Dazed" "all right, all right, all right" but also a signature character who helped make this Richard Linklater comedy a coming-of-age classic.

Surrounded by a stellar cast of future stars Zellweger, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich , McConaughey's Texas something slacker Wooderson is a leering dude when it comes to teen girls yet he gave cinema a laidback stoner icon.

Lincoln Lawyer. Bono; Sing. You stay light. If you go deep in a rom-com you can sink the ship. In my life, though, I was going very deep. I found the love of my life in Camila.

We had a newborn coming. I had more things to get angry about, laugh about, have more joy about and be sad about. The ceilings and basements had more depth and height to them, and I wanted to do work that reflected my personal vitality. So I quit. People were thinking he's some surfer dude. So I went on a sabbatical away from Hollywood. I said no to every rom-com script that came my way.

Quit sending him romantic comedies! No offers came in for almost a year and a half. I was now shaking hands with the fact that I may never work in Hollywood again. It pinched me a little, but I was OK with it. It was time for a new chapter in my life. You didn't see me in your living room or movie theater in a rom-com.

You didn't see me shirtless on the beach every weekend in Malibu. And then what happened? I unbranded those two years to then rebrand.

All of a sudden, I became a new, novel idea. The dramas came my way, and I jumped on them. And now I'm pivoting again.

In my next chapter I'll step into some sort of leadership position, but I don't know what that is yet. Another book? A ministry? The crux of it is to help others. We're coming out of a time of limbo and evolving, as people and as a nation.

After George Floyd died, we sat down with our kids [Levi, 12, Vida, 11, and Livingston, 8] — mainly with the eldest two — and talked about it. We talked about the race problem historically and about how unfair that was to someone because of the color of their skin. Camila is Brazilian. My kids didn't understand what the color of skin had to do with anything.

This is not how we treat any human. I want my kids to be conscientious and understand the world we live in and that there are certain expectations, rules and regulations. But hey, be an original thinker, too. The next generation gets it. But what about us, the adults in control right now? Can we come out of this changed for the better? Has our floor been shaken enough that we'll reevaluate or recompose our value system? We're never going to be perfect.

You get up and you take another swing and you pass it on to the next generation — as it was passed on to us — and that generation passes it on to the next. And hopefully, we make small escalations and get a little closer, a little bit better, and more evolved.
