Matthew McConaughey once turned down a $14.5m (£10.4m) offer to star in a romantic comedy, he has revealed.
I’m shirtless romcom McConaughey and I’m like, ‘You damn right I am, those romcoms are paying for these houses that I’m renting on the beach, baby.
Speaking to country star Tim McGraw on his Beyond the Influence Radio podcast on Apple Music Country, McConaughey recalled the turning point that led him to abandon romcoms.
In March, the actor also hinted at a future in politics, declaring that he is “giving consideration” to it.
