Memorable lines can be tricky for the actors who utter them on the big screen. The more the words catch on, the more likely the stars are to hear them quoted back by fans again and again (and again) — for years to come.

For Matthew McConaughey that means the words he first said in the ’90s flick “Dazed and Confused” will likely follow him forever: “Alright, alright, alright.”

And when he sat down with TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie Wednesday, the star insisted that was “alright” with him.

#8 Matthew McConaughey on His Trump Election Remarks: ‘People Were in Denial’,More info:thedailybeast

TORONTO—In this era of internet outrages and Twitter wars, celebrities, presumably to save their own hides, are behaving increasingly like politicians and pondering the implications of every word they utter. In fact, at a time when the president of the United States is not particularly cautious about the words he chooses to utter, mere celebrities are beginning to seem more like politicians than the former reality-show host who now occupies the White House.

This paradox became clear toward the end of an extremely brief interview I conducted with Matthew McConaughey at the Toronto International Film Festival. In town to promote his starring role in White Boy Rick, a “Special Presentation” at the festival, the usually amiable star—of everything from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to Dallas Buyers Club— became considerably less amiable when confronted with some remarks he made to a BBC interviewer concerning Donald Trump’s election in early 2017. During a period when most Hollywood actors were disassociating themselves from the newly elected president, McConaughey told Andrew Marr that “it’s time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact and be constructive with him over the next four years.”

A lot of interesting people pass through the Texas Standard studios – high-profile politicians, authors, and musicians among them. But the guest who came through this week caused a bit of a stir. Native Texan, Academy Award winner, and proud Austinite Matthew McConaughey sat down with host David Brown – not to plug a movie, but to talk about why he calls Austin home.

McConaughey wore a shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Be a lot cooler if you did.” Those words, of course, were spoken by his character, Wooderson, in his breakout role in fellow Austinite Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.” McConaughey the person is often identified strongly with McConaughey the character on screen. And that’s okay with him.

Matthew McConaughey sat down for an interview about his career and revealed he nearly landed one of the 1990s most iconic heartthrob roles in “Titanic.”

The 49-year-old stopped by The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast where he discussed his role in the new film “White Boy Rick” and his career in general. During the chat it came up that he got very far along in the audition process for Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Jack Dawson, in the smash-hit 1997 film.

Matthew McConaughey earned early attention as a sensitive actor with his turn in the 1996 legal drama A Time to Kill — but since then he has mostly made a career with leading-man roles in romantic comedies like How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days, Failure to Launch and The Wedding Planner.

He calls these “Saturday characters,” and he tells Fresh Air‘s Terry Gross that he appreciates them for what they are: parts he could land one day and walk on set to film the next day.

Plus, he understands that he has a capacity for the lightness such characters require.

“It’s great to have your so-called fastball,” he says. “You’re not supposed to go deep on those. You go deep, you sink the ship.”

In the past few years, however, in films such as Bernieand Magic Mike, McConaughey has been branching out and exploring his range as an actor. He has won critical acclaim for doing so, winning Best Supporting Actor from the New York Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics two years in a row for his performances.
