Matthew McConaughey schloss einen Pakt mit seiner Frau, nachdem er Hollywood nach Texas verlassen hatte: „Ich gehe nicht zurück, es sei denn, mir werden Rollen angeboten“, die keine Rom-Coms sind

>“Look, man, the devil’s in the infinite yeses, not the nos,” McConaughey explained. “‘No’ is just as important, if not more important. Especially if you have some level of success and access. ‘No’ becomes more important than ‘yes.’ Because, I mean, we can all look around and see we’ve over-leveraged our life with yeses and going, ‘Geez, oh man. I’m making C-minuses and all this shit in my life because I said yes to too many things.’”

>“When I was rolling with the rom-coms, and I was the ‘rom-com dude,’ that was my lane and I liked that lane. That lane paid well, and it was working,” he continued. “I was so strong in that lane that anything outside that lane – dramas and stuff that I want[ed] to do – were like, ‘No, no, no. No, McConaughey.’ Hollywood said, ’No, no, no. You should stay there.’ So, since I couldn’t do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing, and I moved down to the ranch in Texas.”

>After McConaughey relocated with his family to Texas, he made a pact with his wife and said: “I’m not going back to work unless I get offered roles I want to do.” And those roles were not rom-coms.

He’s always Moondog to me now

“This life gigs a fucking rodeo and I’m gonna suck the nectar and fucking rawdog it till the wheels come off.”

Hasn’t it been decades since he made a rom com?
