How does ONE person have so much charisma? Nice one, Matthew!

[@mikeohernia5498]

He looks like a dork

[@Warmfireandtea]

That's why they make mil.s and we don't. Ambition, star quality and pugnacity. 🙂

McConaughey is one of the (VERY) few people who qualify for "how can anyone possibly not like this guy?" status.

[@whitenbald]

The ONLY bad thing I can think of that he said was not even him it was his character in dazed and confused: “do you know what I love about high school chicks? I get older, they stay the same age” LOL

[@yazmeenj9121]

@@whitenbald omg yes lol. I was going to watch that movie but seeing that clip stopped me😂..

[@slickrockcreek1]

@@whitenbald Ha, he played that character so perfectly - I remember thinking "I know that guy!", which I think we all do but the difference between McConaughey and the rest of us is he could actually play that guy in a movie!
