Matthew McConaughey's Mom Helped Him Plagiarize

[@weaselwords99]

I love how the audience is absolutely quiet during his stories. You can tell that everyone there, including Fallon, is fascinated by him! I certainly am.

[@EveHallows]

+Wacky Weasel It's that TX charm ;)

[@grammaticalerorr4654]

+Wacky Weasel I wonder how it will be if he put in the same show with Blake Shelton lol

[@gioiaribelle]

+Wacky Weasel true! also,they're trying to understand what he's saying because of his sexy accent :D

[@ValoriumStudios]

I want to learn to be like that :)

[@Rockbooper]

He's a great storyteller! I could listen to him tell stories for hours

[@franciscorodriguez3236]

Too bad fallon keeps interrupting him

[@violeta585]

Ezio Auditore You're exaggerating...during the 1st story he did a throwback and during the 2nd story he didn't say anything till the end! Frankly, M. speaks too slow for this type of interview, breaks too long & often, I'm surprised Jimmy didn't try to move the story along.

[@umagumamafeidital]

totally

[@SergheyKatastrofenko]

Really? If all that he would want to do would be to sit and talk to you, would you listen? Me too. :)

[@capechick2562]

Voicu Violeta Voi, that's what is called a "southern drawl" and it's sexy and you know it!

[@jaekaitch382]

He's one of those personalities of shear confidence, charisma and intrigue that show up every once in a blue moon.

[@reesestarzec3440]

He is so charismatic. Like, he's just a great talker and storyteller. Wow.

[@grammaticalerorr4654]

He should play as US president someday.

[@ckvlzlvxch]

This poem was not actually by EE Cummings, or any famous poet for that matter, but by Ann Ashford and Bill Drath for their children's book "If I Found a Wistful Unicorn". Here is an excerpt from that book, which contains those very lines spoken by Matthew in this video: "If I found a wistful unicorn, and brought him to you all forlorn... Would you pet him? If I took an empty midnight train across the country in the rain... Would you meet me? If I picked a little flower up and put it in a paper cup... Would you smell it? If I found a secret place to go, with you the only one to know... Would you be there? If my cricket coughed and got the flu, and needed warmth and comfort too... Would you hold him? If my rainbow were to turn all gray, and wouldn't shine at all today... Would you paint it? If my soul were feeling all alone and wasn't near a telephone... Would you write to it? If my clock developed nervous strain, and needed help to "tock" again... Would you fix it? If I were to dance for you, as hard as that would be to do... Would you watch me? If my pet turnip turned on me, and bit me fiercely on the knee... Would you bandage it? If my nightingale were a monotone and much too shy to sing alone, Would you hum with him? If all that I would want to do would be to sit and talk to you... Would you listen? If any of these things you'll do, I'll never have to say to you... Do you love me?" Beautiful, huh?

[@sugeycruz5753]

He actually says Ashford too. He couldn't remember if it was e.e. cummings or Ashford.

[@ckvlzlvxch]

Sugey Cruz-Everts Yeah you're right. Still hard to confuse those two though!

[@grammaticalerorr4654]

Wuhoo you should read Pearl Jam - Wishlist lyric by Eddie Vedder. It's beautiful too.

[@merlinsiervo]

Really beautiful

[@michelaraujo183]

whats is the meaning of the poem? i quit didnt get it

[@Nitro192192]

Matt McConaughey's the man, good actor, good personality, man of God. He's gonna make a great father, no doubt. Can't wait to see his future roles.

[@veronicamathers8287]

+Nitro192 i agree 100%

[@Nitro192192]

Agreed..

[@justmemadison]

+Nitro192 He has something like 3 or 4 kids.

He and Elizabeth Banks.

[@EveHallows]

[@AndyXypher]

Born in fucking '69 ofcourse, no doubt LOL. That's the only year which could've produced this man.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

As fate would have it, he was indeed born in 1969!

[@diederikperk9407]

Clever. That's what Fallon should have said.

[@Karamelkissiz23]

McConaughey is very down-to-earth...and I've always liked him

[@littlemissmello]

Tiana C I didn't like him in his obnoxious romantic comedies days. However, I saw him in Mud and was instantly impressed. Good thing I went too because I almost didn't because I heard he was in it and I didn't know if I could stand staring at his face for a long time.

[@attonattonatton]

All right, all right, all riiight!!!

[@EHCBunny4real]

Thanks to the internet, Matthew's mother's method would no longer work in the 21st century.

[@123Jokkmokk123]

Matthew McConaughey's mom must be quite the lady!

[@yejiyirenyuqi9572]

Have you noticed how Fallon interrupts every single guest he has, but Matthew didn't give a fuck about him and just kept talking his story didn't allow him once to interrupt him. A TRUE ALPHA MALE AND I'M NOT EVEN GAY

[@violeta585]

''didn't allow him once to interrupt''? he freaking breaks after every word, long breaks...if Jimmy wanted, he easily could've interrupted him...he didn't want to. Frankly, M. speaks too slow for this type of interview, long breaks too often and I'm surprised J. didn't interfere to move the story along...they must have taken into account M.'s speech when setting the time length of the interview.

[@capechick2562]

Voicu Violeta LOL, M speaks too slow? You onea them fast talking Yankee's then Voi?

[@katelizabeth24]

how does that make you gay you fuck?

[@danamcdowell9060]

Matthew McConaughey is an amazing storyteller. Other people telling that story it would not have come off nearly as funny or interesting but he told that perfectly

[@gprm97]

matthew mcconaughey is a really good storyteller

[@hyperclaurus44]

i like it whenever he says "mom". it sounds lovely

[@wheelmanstan]

mcconaughey is so damn good at reciting things, he's got a great memory for words, and even if he says it wrongly, he says it right

[@pagaldesi1644]

Alright Alright Alright

[@CrashN2Me1000]

lf they gave awards for story telling, he'd win one of those too. l enjoy listening to him talk just as much as l like his movies.

[@sugeycruz5753]

Some folks are so negative about Fallon but whatever I really like him. He is funny, self deprecating and doesn't just rattle on the same 5 questions that actors get asked during movie promotions over and over again. I like the games he does with them and that he actually gives them a bit of a distraction from the routine. Keep it up Jimmy. I had stopped watching late night talk shows awhile back cause everyone just seemed a sarcastic ass. Glad you are just fun.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

When he was 8 years old he looked like Woody Harrelson :D

[@littlemissmello]

Herowar I've always thought the two looked alike. As a kid I couldn't keep them apart. But as a kid I also couldn't keep apart Sean Connery and George Clooney...

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

[@captaindiegoalatriste945]

Doug Evans Sorry. Jack Paar. Close, but no cigar...though in my book, Carson and Letterman are in a class by themselves, and everyone else is second class at best.

[@jackass123491]

One time in high school we had to write a poem in my English class. So the day after we turn the poems in the teacher announces that her favorite one was written by one of the guys in the class whose name was Geoffrey. She liked it so much that she read it out loud to the class. Here's what it said : " Your love is like a river peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep. When I look into your eyes I know that its true. God must have spent a little more time on you. " The whole class was rolling with laughter and she says " Why you are laughing? This is where music comes from. " We all were just like " THAT'S A SONG !!!!!!! " Yeah she wasn't praising Geoffrey after that....

[@PS3AhoyCustomURL]

Here's a great poem: I remember you was conflicted Misusing your influence Sometimes I did the same Abusing my power, full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screaming in a hotel room I didn't want to self destruct The evils of Lucy was all around me So I went running for answers Until I came home But that didn't stop survivor's guilt Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was But while my loved ones was fighting a continuous war back in the city I was entering a new one A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned The word was respect Just because you wore a different gang color than mine's Doesn't mean I can't respect you as a black man Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us But I don't know, I'm no mortal man, maybe I'm just another nigga - Kendrick Lamar
