Biography of Matthew McConaughey
Future actor, director and producer Matthew McConaughey was the youngest in the family. In his early childhood, Matthew had to live for some time in Australia, where he acquired an accent that, after returning to the USA, he could not get rid of for many years. He graduated from high school in 1998 and continued his studies in Austin at the University of Texas, studying to become a lawyer. In his senior year, Matthew came across the book “The Best Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino, which changed his view of the world. McConaughey decided to devote himself to acting.
Filmography of the actor and star trek
While still at university, Matthew met Don Phillips, a producer who offered McConaughey a role in 1993's Confused.
The first serious role went to Matthew McConaughey in 1995, when he starred in the dramatic film “Boys on the Side.” In this film, the actor shared the stage with Drew Barrymore. Matthew received his first leading role in 1996 in the film “A Time to Kill,” and the aspiring actor easily beat out such Hollywood superstars as Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer. He played alongside Sandra Bullock and Kevin Spacey. After this film, Matthew McConaughey was noticed by major directors and producers, and the actor received tempting invitations to film.
In 2003, Matthew McConaughey experienced a second wave of success after the release of the film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, where Kate Hudson starred with him. In 2006, he starred in the film “Love and Other Troubles,” where Sarah Jessica Parker plays with him. Another superstar Matthew has played with is Jennifer Lopez (“The Wedding Planner”). The actor also proved himself as a screenwriter for the film “Rebel”.
Personal life of Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey, one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood, dated many co-stars: Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson, and in 2005 Penelope Cruz also got into his network, but a year later the couple separated.
Matthew McConaughey chose Brazilian model Camila Alves as his wife. On July 8, 2008, the couple had a son, Levi. McConaughey was present at the birth. Matthew cut the umbilical cord himself and held his son in his arms for 15 minutes while doctors attended to Camilla. In 2010, the couple had a daughter, Vida, and two years later, a son, Livingston. Only after the birth of their third child did the couple decide to get married officially. Matthew and Camilla had a low-key wedding ceremony on the beach during sunset.
Glory
The psychological thriller “A Time to Kill,” in which Matthew played a lawyer, was so successful that it was nominated for several prestigious film awards. And, although the actor himself did not receive an award, the film made him a real star.
In the story, he defended the girls' father, who killed a scoundrel who raped his little daughter right in the courtroom, and was sentenced for this to only 10 years in prison.
The film is based on true events and addresses the issue of racial inequality that still exists in small town America. Indeed, in most cases, even justice and the police protect the interests of whites, while blacks are treated as second-class citizens.
McConaughey's hero still wins the trial, and he manages to achieve not only the abolition of the death penalty that threatened the old father, but also an acquittal.

From now on, McConaughey is invited only to lead roles, and quite diverse ones at that. The actor works equally successfully in melodramas, thrillers and action films. He received his long-awaited Oscar for the film “Dallas Buyers Club,” which raised the issue of AIDS treatment.
His hero, a homosexual, learns of his diagnosis quite by accident, having been hospitalized with an injury received at work. Doctors give the most gloomy forecasts and predict his death in no more than a month. Having learned about this, friends and acquaintances turn away from the hero, and he remains completely alone.
But he is not going to give up and resorts to treatment with illegal drugs bought on the black market. An ally appears in his life with the same problem, brilliantly played by Jared Leto, and then they are joined by many more people seeking to prolong their lives with a diagnosis of AIDS. The film received several Oscars and many other awards.
McConaughey's hallmark is that he takes every role very seriously. In order to create a successful image, he is ready to change his weight, go to training and even perform complex tricks. To date, the artist’s filmography already includes more than 20 brilliant roles.
He is one of the most sought after and highly paid Hollywood actors. In 2014, a star with his name appeared on the Walk of Stars.
Personal life
From his early youth, taking advantage of the favor of girls, Matthew grew up to be a real heartthrob. He easily changed girlfriends, without becoming particularly attached to anyone. On the set of almost all films, he managed to have affairs with his partners on the set, and tried to choose girls who were inferior to him and indulged him in everything.
But in 1994, he suddenly became involved in a relationship with Sandra Bullock. Not only did the romance drag on for almost two years, but they also began to live together. True, only until Sandra found out about her pregnancy.
With Sandra Bullock
The news came as a real shock to Matthew, and he said that he was not yet ready to create a full-fledged family. The test result turned out to be false, but, disappointed in her lover, Sandra left him.
For about 10 years, he again changed one girlfriend for another, until fate brought him together with Penelope Cruz, who had recently separated from her husband. They became partners on the set in the film “Sahara,” and then the screenplay romance turned into real life.
With Penelope Cruz
The relationship lasted almost two years, and many were waiting for an invitation to the wedding. But the couple broke up, saying that the reason was a busy filming schedule, due to which they practically did not see each other.
And only after meeting the beauty and supermodel Camila Alves, McConaughey realized that he was ripe for a real family. Just a year and a half after they met, the couple already had their first daughter. But the inveterate bachelor never proposed to her. And only when Camila became pregnant for the third time did they legalize their relationship.
With Camila Alves
Now McConaughey, a former reveler and womanizer, is an exemplary husband and a wonderful father.
