When Matthew McConaughey Said His Mom Wanted To Star In His Movies

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood trends, I must say that Matthew McConaughey is undeniably one of the most captivating stars in Tinseltown. His versatility and charisma have graced both the big and small screens, earning him an Academy Award along the way. However, his acting prowess may soon face a formidable challenge – from none other than his own mother, Mary Kathleen!


Without a shadow of a question, it’s indisputable that Matthew McConaughey holds a significant place among the top-tier actors in Hollywood. Renowned for his adaptability, he’s graced numerous productions and even earned an Oscar, further solidifying his status as a powerhouse in the film industry.

As his devoted follower, I can attest that it isn’t just him who craves the limelight at home. You see, even Momma McConaughey, or Mary Kathleen as she is affectionately known, has expressed a desire to shine brightly on the silver screen alongside her son. In fact, she’s made it clear that she’s ready and willing to share the spotlight with him in his movies.

In 2017, during an interview on ABC’s Popcorn With Peter Travers, McConaughey shared that his mother aspired to be an actress too. He stated, “For every role, she wished to be part of the film.” Jokingly, he added that she frequently visited set and inquired about the director, with intentions of causing him some trouble later on.

The actor imitated his mom’s presentation style from her movies, explaining that she desires to star in a remake of “The Graduate.” In this remake, she would play the role originally performed by Anne Bancroft, while he would take on the part previously held by Dustin Hoffman.

In a 1967 romantic comedy, the story revolves around a housewife who becomes romantically involved with a college student. Despite this, his mother downplays it, saying “It’s not a major issue. It should be manageable.” Laughing, he also commented, “She’s still trying to sell that idea. No one has successfully pulled it off yet.”

Whether accompanied by his mother or not, Matthew McConaughey’s acting career continues to thrive. Lately, he made an appearance for a brief role in the blockbuster movie, Deadpool and Wolverine, lending his voice to the character, Cowboypool.

In 2019, the actor was involved with multiple films such as Serenity, The Beach Bum, and The Gentlemen. Future works he has lined up are The Rivals of Amziah King and The Missing Bus.

During an interview on Watch What Happens Live, actress Kate Hudson disclosed that both she and Matthew McConaughey are amenable to reprising their roles in a potential sequel to the 2003 romantic comedy, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. This movie, directed by Donald Petrie, has garnered a dedicated following who frequently draw inspiration from its scenes and fashion for their own lives.

The story centers on a magazine writer and a marketing executive who meet following a proposal by the former for a unique column at work. Simultaneously, the latter is engaged in a wager. Unknowingly, they both harbor hidden feelings, leading them to fall in love. Their captivating on-screen chemistry was highly acclaimed, and the film eventually became a timeless classic.
