If someone asked you what Matthew McConaughey’s catchphrase is, you would tell them, “Alright. Alright. Alright.” But do you know how he came up with it?
The Oscar winner told GMA the story of how he wound up improvising the first three words he ever uttered on camera. And he has The Doors’ Jim Morrison to thank for it.
The actor is a big fan of the band, and he watched one of their old concerts. He heard Morrison tell the crowd, “Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright.” and that stuck with McConaughey.
So when he was driving to film his first scene in Dazed & Confused, he was imagining who his character was. He knew that Wooderson was about Rock’n’Roll, his car, and getting high. He was also about the three ladies in his life, so he said alright to all three of them.
And there you have it.
So the next time you hear someone do a McConaughey, you can tell them the origin story. And then your friends will think you are so smart.
Matthew McConaughey has been putting confused people into a dazed state on the Calm app for a while now, and now Michael Bublé is doing the same. However, the crooner is not using his own voice; he is using the Oscar winner’s.
Do you think Bublé’s impression is alright? Was it alright, alright? Or is it alright, alright, alright?
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they asked the contestants, “Matthew McConaughey said, ‘Dazed and Confused, the first words I’ve ever said on film were’ these.”
As soon as Ken Jennings read the question, I knew I was going to do alright, alright, alright. And I assume you felt the same way. I mean, that question is worth like $200 during regular play.
So there should be no way that anyone would miss that answer? Right? Wrong. The now-former champion didn’t get it. And now everything in the world is not alright, alright, alright.
Seriously, if you asked anyone what words do you think of when you hear Matthew McConaughey’s name, everyone but Amy Bekkerman would say that one word three times. I bet you did!
Matthew McConaughey is starring in a kids’ movie, so he brought his children to the premiere of Sing 2 yesterday.
It has been a while since we have seen his offspring with Camilla Aviles. In that time, Levi, 13, Vida, 11, and Livingston, 8, got so big. I never would have recognized them.
They are all gorgeous. But then again, they are their parents’ children.
For months, we have been wondering if Matthew McConaughey was going to run for public office. Yesterday, he finally announced his decision. He will not be running for Governor of Texas this go around.
Instead, he says, “I’m going to continue to work and invest the bounty I have by supporting entrepreneurs, businesses and foundations that I believe are leaders, establishments that I believe are creating pathways for people to succeed in life, organizations that have a mission to serve and build trust while also generating prosperity.”
After listening to him explain why he is not running and what he will be doing instead, I think he would be a great candidate. I wish more politicians analyzed their candidacy as much as he did before they ran for office. I also wish they were more humble instead of full of hubris. And that goes to both Democrats and Republicans.
