Matthew McConaughey is opening up about his decision to quit rom-com movies.
In an interview with AARP, the 51-year-old actor recalled the moment he quit rom-coms and Hollywood in an effort to pursue more serious, dramatic roles.
“I remember saying, ‘Eff the bucks, I’m going for the experience,’” McConaughey shared. “I was the go-to rom-com guy. I enjoyed making them, and they paid well. I was leading a successful life as an actor. But there’s a certain buoyancy built into rom-coms that isn’t about hanging your hat on humanity, like a drama is… I wanted to do work that reflected my personal vitality.”
“I went on a sabbatical away from Hollywood. I said no to every rom-com script that came my way. I turned down one for $14.5 million,” he added. “Word got around Hollywood I’d done that, and they said, ‘McConaughey’s not bluffing. Quit sending him romantic comedies!’”
It would take two years of seriously turning down offers before McConaughey reemerged on the scene in films like 2011’s The Lincoln Lawyer and 2013’s Dallas Buyer’s Club.
Now, the True Detective actor is looking at making another drastic change in his career.
“In my next chapter I’ll step into some sort of leadership position, but I don’t know what that is yet. Politics? Another book? A ministry? The crux of it is to help others,” he explained. “We’re coming out of a time of limbo and evolving, as people and as a nation. We’ve got to come together and have some sort of unity — I think everyone can agree we can use that.”

Wilmer Valderrama says he will always be thankful for his big break, saying playing Fez on That 70’s Show gave him the platform needed to help normalize what it means to be a Latino.
Speaking with Good Housekeeping, the actor confessed he didn’t see the opportunity at first, telling the outlet, “I was pretty naïve and innocent to the conversation about diversity, inclusion and representation.”
“I was really blessed that I was given the opportunity to be Fez on That ‘70s Show. It was my first break,” Valderrama, 41 continued. “Those first couple of years I was treated like an equal. I was treated like an actor who was delivering the funny. I felt like I was doing my part and I was doing it with the level of integrity that just made me, as a human being, feel good.”
“But I didn’t really understand the magnitude of what it all represented for the Latino community until a couple of years later when people realized I was Latino,” the NCIS star confessed. “I never really saw myself as a minority. I just saw myself as an actor in a sea of actors.”
Now, he sees differently and finds it “beautiful” to see more young Latinx stars scoring more and more leading roles.
“It’s a resurface of this pride of being a Latino and that’s the achievement of many of my colleagues and a small wave of us back in the past 20 to 25 years that were able to kind of normalize who we are on screen and as personalities, public figures and activists,” explained Valderrama. “I feel like the door opened up for them to know that it was okay to be themselves and was okay for them to really speak their roots out loud and be proud of that.”
