Truth revealed
Why McConaughey retired to Texas ranch
Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey had made a pact with his wife Camila when he wasn't being offered roles outside of comedies.
"Since I couldn't do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing," the 55-year-old said in a preview clip of the podcast "Good Trouble". "I moved to a ranch in Texas and made a pact with my wife: 'I'm not going back to work unless I'm offered roles I want to do'."
Only romantic comedies now
McConaughey starred in many romantic comedies in the early 2000s, including "Wedding Planner" (2001) alongside Jennifer Lopez and "How to Get Rid of Him in 10 Days?" (2003) alongside Kate Hudson. He liked this genre, but at the time he was just the "romantic comedy type", McConaughey now reported.
"The most rebellious step"
During his break, he even turned down an action comedy with a fee of 14.5 million US dollars, said the Hollywood star. This was probably perceived in Hollywood as his "most rebellious move" and he was actually offered roles that he wanted.
McConaughey later appeared in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013) and Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" (2014). McConaughey won an Oscar in 2014 for his portrayal of a rodeo rider infected with HIV in Jean-Marc Vallée's "Dallas Buyers Club".
