Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey has seen ups and downs and radical changes in his career. During the 1990s, he played diverse roles in Dazed and Confused, Contact, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and A Time to Kill. He then became a sex symbol during the 2000s with his casting in mainly rom-com. However, this led to him receive scorn for such roles. However, this circumstance gave him credit for his two-year hiatus between 2009 and 2011.

After that pause, he emerged as an actor more willing to take on more dramatic roles. Since the hiatus, McConaughey has managed to brush off his rom-com association and has become one of the best actors to date. He won an Oscar in 2013 for his lead role in Dallas Buyers Club. In addition, he has achieved mainstream success in films like Interstellar, Magic Mike, and The Gentlemen. Indeed, the actor is one of the leading names in the entertainment business today.
