"I remind myself of that all the time, 'Wherever you are, just want to be here.' If you want to be where you are, you're kind of like, 'Well great.' It makes it easy," McConaughey says. McConaughey says he still deals with butterflies all the time, but he sees them as a sign that he's staying in the moment.
It's his ability to tell you things about himself that you might not divulge about your own misfortunes or shortcomings at risk of embarrassment. But Matthew does it as though he in a small room with a lifelong friend. And that is what connects you to him so easily. That's what makes him so charming.
Matthew McConaughey began surfing for the movie "Surfer, Dude" in 2008. Since then, he has been hooked on the sport and has been seen catching waves on many occasions, namely in Malibu in 2008.
Dennis Wilson was the only member of The Beach Boys who actually surfed. The surfing spirit of the famous US band was in the heart of Dennis Wilson. The founding drummer of The Beach Boys had a troubled life but lived it until the end with waves in his mind.
Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Lori Petty went to Hawaii to get surfing lessons from Dennis Jarvis, a professional surfer. None of them were experts, but they had different levels of inexperience.
Like David Wooderson, Matthew has a particular fondness for classic rock, as this selection of his favourite songs demonstrates. Speaking to Chris Douridas for KCRW's Guest DJ project, McConaughey opened up about five tracks that have meant something to him over the years.
Despite being expelled and struggling with dyslexia, Keanu Reeves achieved success in Hollywood. As a child, Reeves would act out because he was frustrated with his dyslexia. He found an outlet for these frustrations through hockey and wanted to go pro, but an injury prevented this dream.
Patrick Swayze was an experienced surfer and did all of his own surfing scenes in “Point Break.” Keanu Reeves had never surfed before being cast in the film and relied heavily on a body double.
Brian Wilson, the co-founder of era-defining rock group the Beach Boys, suffers from a “major neurocognitive disorder (such as dementia)” and should be placed under a conservatorship, the 81-year-old artist's attorneys said in a court filing this week.
A liaison in 1966 resulted in his illegitimate daughter, Shawn Marie Love, whom he never publicly acknowledged. In 1983 Shawn married his cousin Dennis Wilson, by whom she had a son, Gage.
Towards the end of his life, Dennis was suspended from the Beach Boys for erratic behaviour and substance abuse (especially alcohol.) Not long after he sold his share of The Beach Boys back to the rest of the band to cover some unpaid bills.
Willis was a Lutheran, but says he no longer practices. In a July 1998 interview with George magazine, he said, "Organized religions in general, in my opinion, are dying forms. They were all very important when we didn't know why the sun moved, why weather changed, why hurricanes occurred, or volcanoes happened.
He issued an apology after family members of those killed on the flight expressed outrage. Wahlberg is Catholic, and has described his religion as "the most important part" of his life; he goes to Mass twice on Sundays. He fervently supports same-sex marriage despite the Church's opposition.
