Until recently Matthew McConaughey had a reputation of always-topless romantic comedy actor, but in the past few months that has changed. He’s starred in some huge films, proving himself as a serious drama actor.
But even though he is aware of the big change, McConaughey doesn’t have any regrets about his career.
“You get one first chance and I am just telling the same book, different chapter, I switched gears. I said I want to recalibrate what I’m doing in my career right now but I enjoyed what I did before, I’ve enjoyed the last 22 years, I’m not arrogant enough to boo hoo anything I’ve done in my career,” he explained.
He also added: “I did spend some time with a conscious decision, saying ‘you know what I don’t really feel like doing some of the roles that are similar to what I have been doing’, action adventure, romantic comedies and such. So before I said this is what I want to do, I had to say I don’t wanna do that right now. Somewhere in that impasse, which was about a year, where nothing came in I think I can say that I gained a little anonymity, I’ve been in the shadows and I became a fresh idea for people like Steven Soderbergh and those roles found me at that time.”
Everything in its time! I believe Matthew McConaughey has found a new amplua and enjoys it. It was a time for home to change, the way he felt himself and the way he wanted to act. This is a great shift in his acting career and I definitely like it. I wish Matthew to open new horizons in acting profession and gladden us, his public, with the new acting sensations.
