Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey is an American actor who rose from the Texas indie scene and a run of romantic comedies to an Oscar-winning dramatic career, with acclaimed turns in Dallas Buyers Club, True Detective, and Interstellar. Off screen he has become an unlikely author and philosopher of self-reliance. His bestselling memoir Greenlights repackages decades of diaries into a book of stories and “livin'” aphorisms about reading life’s green, yellow, and red lights, and he has since written for younger readers too.
