Matthew McConaughey Says He Was Molested By a Man at 18 & Blackmailed Into Losing Virginity at 15

Matthew McConaughey Says He Was Molested By a Man at 18 & Blackmailed Into Losing Virginity at 15

Matthew McConaughey is getting really personal in his memoir for "Greenlights."

Early on in the book, the 50-year-old actor spoke out about losing his virginity at age 15 and says he was "blackmailed" into it.

"I was blackmailed into having sex for the first time when I was fifteen," Matthew wrote in the memoir. "I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex. Today, I am merely certain that I hope that's not the case."

He also added that he was "molested by a man when I was eighteen while unconscious in the back of a van."

idiots out there will claim it's healthier not to bathe "for weeks at a time" because of "ooh chemicals." You don't need to bathe every day, perhaps, but it's actually healthier to be in water with soap than to go around stanky. That's right -- it is HEALTHIER to wash every so often. And natural, considering we came from the sea originally. Water is GOOD. Soap is not going to kill you. So sick of these "health" nuts.

My boyfriend worked with him and said he was a total sweetheart. MM did a striptease for him — he had pulled my boyfriend into a private room — pulled his shirt off and pulled it around my boyfriend’s neck. It was very seductive but very weird, my bf says. But he was a really nice guy. No body odor, oddly.

A girl I know through a friend used to work at a hotel here in NYC, and she said MM had a gay sex orgy in one of the rooms several years ago, and she had to clean it up. She didn’t go into the details, like who was in attendance and what the detritus left behind actually was, but she seemed credible. She said this on Facebook after MM said something that was received as hurtful to gays—I have no recollection of what it was. It was either something pro-religion or a “let’s just give Trump a chance” kind of thing.

Molested does not mean anal - that would be rape. So basically, someone either groped his dick, touched him inappropriately, or did something to him while he was passed out (but not too passed out because he he can recall it)?

He said he would only speak if given a full hour to explain his position, and supporting the President. You can reference earier interviews with him where he implored Hollywood to "Embrace Trump, and NOW is the time to embrace Trump"...

McConaughey proved himself a strong actor with his serious roles in Dallas Buyers Club, Mud, Killer Joe and True Detective. His early roles were actually serious roles in Lone Star and A Time To Kill. He seemed to have chosen to do dumb romantic comedy roles throughout the 2000s and got tired of being typecast even though he did that to himself. He reinvented himself as a serious actor again. Now that said, he is a one-trick-pony and plays himself just more comical or more serious depending on the role.

R129 Interesting observation. I can definitely see some swarthy Welsh in Elvis, now that you mention it, though many argue for Melungeon ancestry. McConaughey, like Pitt, often has that unfortunate sallow or yellow tinge to his complexion. Could be tanning products I suppose, or something could be askew with his liver enzymes.

The NY Times ran a hilarious take-down of his new book last Sunday.

by Anonymousreply 135October 22, 2020 5:38 PM

NY Times book review:

Would it surprise you to learn that more than 30 years ago, before he’d even sauntered across the screen in “Dazed and Confused,” Matthew McConaughey wrote a poem in which he vowed he’d someday become an author?

As one of its lopsided verses declared:

I think I’ll write a book. A word about my life. I wonder who would give a damn About the pleasures and the strife?

This was in 1989, when he didn’t know all the twists and turns that awaited him — the acting awards he’d win, the wife and children he’d have, the bracing dramas and banal rom-coms he’d make. But he was certain he would live a life worth chronicling.

Now that poem, rendered in its creator’s arcane handwriting, appears at the start of his autobiography, “Greenlights,” which Crown will publish on Tuesday.

The book offers a shotgun seat to all the l-i-v-i-n that McConaughey has accumulated, from his upbringing in a tumultuous Texas family to his ascent as the ruggedly serene star of “Magic Mike,” “True Detective” and “Dallas Buyers Club.”

McConaughey, who turns 51 on Nov. 4, enjoys spinning some of these personal yarns, not necessarily because they sound cool but because he believes they reveal certain universal and teachable truths.

To that end, “Greenlights” is filled with homespun wisdom that McConaughey has wrung from his toils, travels and that time he got arrested while playing bongos in the nude. He has fortified his remembrances with the coinages and maxims he dutifully recorded in decades’ worth of personal journals and which continue to spill naturally from his mouth.

It is a book that is constantly evaluating itself and its reasons for being, much like its author. He acknowledges that he entered into the project both eagerly and warily, looking to use his celebrity for the opportunity to tell his story in his own idiosyncratic way.

“I get what equity I bring as Matthew McConaughey, however you see me,” he said in a Zoom conversation last month. He spoke from a den in his home in Austin, Texas, wearing his hair swept back and a flannel shirt that was only partly buttoned up as he peered into his webcam through a pair of horn-rimmed eyeglasses.

by Anonymousreply 137October 22, 2020 5:47 PM

“If it’s a straight memoir” — he stressed the second syllable with an unexpected French flair — “as a publisher you could sell some books.” What he hoped to produce, he said, was one where “the words on the page are still worthy to share if they were signed by anonymous, but at the same time be a book that only McConaughey could’ve wrote.”

Like the bestubbled dude you have seen whooping it up at WWE matches and sermonizing in luxury car commercials, McConaughey is alternately uninhibited and self-serious. He is comfortable referring to himself in the third person and dismisses any suggestion that he has stumbled backward into his professional success.

As he told me, he knows there are people who think, “Gosh dang, McConaughey just eases right into everything — the guy doesn’t seem to have any bumps, doesn’t get hit crossing the road.” He said he wrote “Greenlights” partly as a corrective to this perception, to show how much effort it has taken to get where he is.

But McConaughey wants readers to look beyond the boldface name on its cover and focus on its fundamental message. No one can escape hardship, he said, but he can share the lessons “that helped me navigate the hard stuff — like I say, ‘get relative with the inevitable’ — sooner and in the best way possible for myself.”

Codifying his beliefs and putting them down on paper was one test. The next challenge comes as McConaughey releases “Greenlights” into a world that feels increasingly unsettled and dismissive of values systems — one where, like millions of Americans, he and his family have spent the past several months spent “trying to outrun the ol’ Covid,” as he put it.

by Anonymousreply 138October 22, 2020 5:48 PM

As McConaughey tells the story, his youth was dominated by his father, Jim, a former college and professional football player turned pipe salesman who was married three times to and twice divorced from the actor’s mother, Kay. The book’s first chapter dramatizes a scene from 1974 where McConaughey watched the couple fight ferociously — his mother having broken his father’s nose with a telephone while he brandished a ketchup bottle — before his parents had sex on the kitchen floor.

It sounds brutal and, as McConaughey told me, “This is the reality, but there’s humanity in that reality.” Jim was tough on his sons, too, but, McConaughey, who is the youngest of three brothers, said, “I wouldn’t give back one ass-whupping I got for the values that are ingrained in me.” When he reflects on his parents, McConaughey said, “The love was real. The passion was real.” (A few days after McConaughey started filming “Dazed and Confused,” Jim died of a heart attack while making love to Kay.)

Kay McConaughey, now 88, said in an email that as she raised Matthew, she did not necessarily expect him to become an artist. “In fact, that subject was never brought up,” she said. “I thought he was going to be a lawyer.”

Even so, she said that she often observed Matthew “jotting things down on small pieces of paper about what someone had said or what he thought about what was being said or a way he saw life.”

Having read “Greenlights” and seen how Matthew depicted her relationship with Jim, Kay McConaughey said, “It was a rocky and passionate love affair we had, but I do wish Matthew would have told more of the stories about me and his dad’s love, affection and commitment to each other.”

Still, she said, she regarded her youngest son as a fundamentally forthright person. “What has remained consistent in Matthew’s life is his honesty and being true to himself, knowing who he was and owning it.”

by Anonymousreply 139October 22, 2020 5:49 PM

Matthew McConaughey recounts how he landed his breakthrough role as the likable sleaze Wooderson in “Dazed and Confused” by tracking down the film’s casting director, Don Phillips, in an Austin bar and charming his way into an audition. A few years later, the not-yet-bankable actor mounted a successful campaign to persuade the director Joel Schumacher to cast him in a leading role in his adaptation of “A Time to Kill.”

To McConaughey, stories like these illustrate how he is not content to merely let life happen to him. “It’s always been obvious to me that I do not have a laissez-faire attitude,” he said. “It’s a state of being that I work at, continuously, daily, and I break a sweat to get it.”

Longtime colleagues say it’s even more than that: Despite the agreeably disheveled image that McConaughey projects, they see him as someone who is perpetually preparing himself for opportunities and actively steering himself toward them.

As his friend Richard Linklater, who directed him in several films including “Dazed and Confused,” explained to me, “People underestimate the utter intentionality of what Matthew’s done. He’s really good at going from A to B to C. He’s got a plan and he’s just brave enough and brazen enough to execute it.”

The point of the “Dazed and Confused” audition story isn’t that McConaughey simply happened to be in the right place at the right time, Linklater said: “He wasn’t discovered in a bar — he went over to the guy who he heard was casting it. Matthew’s always playing the long game.”

In “Greenlights,” McConaughey tells the back stories of some of his best-known roles, but he does not take a film-by-film inventory of his entire career. Nor does he share any particularly salacious details from his personal life when he was still a single man, beyond a paragraph in which he writes: “I wore the leathers. I rode the Thunderbird. I took a lot of showers in the daylight hours, rarely alone. I partook.”

McConaughey told me that while such scenes are generally staples of celebrity tell-alls, he felt that to include them “would be in bad taste and bad manners — that’s why bedrooms have doors on ’em.”

However, he does unhesitatingly share two different stories in which he awakens from wet dreams — you read that right — where he saw himself “floating downstream on my back in the Amazon River” while surrounded by jungle life and “African tribesmen lined up shoulder to shoulder on the ridge to the left of me.” He interpreted these visions as subconscious exhortations to travel to Peru, where he immersed himself in the Amazon, and to Mali, where he sparred with a local wrestling champion.

Sections like these shed light on the transcendental side of the author, who is a practicing Methodist but also describes himself as “an optimistic mystic,” forever fine-tuning his personal dials in search of further broadcasts from the universe.

That approach to existence has sent McConaughey hunting for what he calls “greenlights” — the traffic signals that mean go, which he prefers to spell as a single word and which he believes take skill and acumen to identify.

To conclude that life is all about luck, he said, is to surrender to fatalism: “Quit letting yourself off the hook, McConaughey. If that’s true, then run every red light. You’ve got your hands on the wheel. You’re making choices. They matter.”

McConaughey said he has no interest in being anyone’s spiritual guru and did not approach “Greenlights” as a work of self-help. Friends say that yes, this is really how he talks and that his book is one more way that he is trying to express himself.

“It’s his way of wanting to be heard on another level,” Linklater said. “It’s another level of communication that you can’t get in a role.”

Linklater explained that actors like McConaughey are vulnerable in their work: “They don’t have total control,” he said. “Even the most powerful actors — Denzel Washington, Daniel Day-Lewis — are still at the mercy of the parts they’re being offered. Actors need these other outlets.”

Sometimes McConaughey dispenses wisdom in miniature pearls, like the beloved bumper stickers he has reproduced throughout the book that sport pithy phrases like “Educate before you indict,” “I am good at what I love, I don’t love all that I’m good at” and “If you’re high enough, the sun’s always shining.”

And sometimes he expounds at greater length, like when I asked him how he appears to stay out of America’s toxic culture wars and cultivates liberal and conservative fans alike.

“I’m trying to keep in with it and not out of it,” McConaughey replied. “For those people who say there’s nothing but yellow lines and dead armadillos in the middle of the highway, I say to you this: the armadillos are just fine. Because the right and the left are so far out, they’re not even on the asphalt anymore. They’re in the frickin’ desert.”

by Anonymousreply 142October 22, 2020 5:51 PM

He gave a raspy laugh and added, “Man, I’ll meet you in the middle.”

Getting “Greenlights” onto the page did not happen quite so swiftly. Crown had its eye on McConaughey as far back as 2015, when the actor went viral with a commencement speech he gave at the University of Houston, structured around his aphorisms (“Don’t leave crumbs”; “Dissect your successes”; “A roof is a man-made thing”).

A proposal that McConaughey later circulated to several publishing houses “had less story and more of the lessons and philosophy in it,” said Gillian Blake, senior vice president and editor in chief of Crown. But in further conversations with him, Blake said that McConaughey did not need much encouragement to turn a retrospective lens on himself.

“We had a few long in-person meetings where you’d ask him a question and he’d say, ‘Oh, yeah, I got a story about that,’” she said. “And then he went back home and wrote it all down.”

Good catch. You'll notice that men won't use the word 'raped' or admit to being assaulted as adults, if they can get around it with other semantics. That's the toxic pervasive influence of homophobia and misogyny, for you - it's thought better to be seen as a traumatised innocent child who was molested than a wounded adult who underwent a same-sex rape.

R197 not for nothing, but, a victim's sexual orientation doesn't do a thing to alleviate the effects of rape. Gay or bisexual men can be and are raped by other men, sadly it happens.

Fwiw my gaydar read on Jani also skews gay-leaning bi. A lot of the things he used to say in interviews or get up to outside of family and Warrant-related stuff reminded me of JC Chasez (a glass-closeted bi singer, who was also possibly molested/raped); sheepishly hanging out in many gay bars on the sly, catfighting with other closet cases, passing on groupies and later starting a 'girlband' that he clearly had no ulterior sexual designs upon...

I've liked DiCaprio in plenty of films, including most of his Scorsese outings and both films with Tarantino. I've just never believed any of his chemistry with women. He always seems to be playacting the part of a horny straight man rather than embodying that state. I thought he just had a hard time portraying sex on camera, but that scene with Thewlis makes me think he's a gay man who can't fake attraction to a woman.

He had interesting chemistry with Cate Blanchett in The Aviator, but I'm not sure I'd call it sexual.

McConaughey auditioned for the role of Jack in Titanic. He'd have been a much better physical match for Kate Winslet, as he actually looked like a grown man in 1997.

R228 you are not a woman so you don’t really know what women like. Most women tend to be more emotionally attached to straight men with feminine facial features. Have you ever wondered why Leo and now Timothee are more hugely popular than any better looking and more masculine men out there?

From Vanity Fair - Feb 2017:

early two weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration, Matthew McConaughey says it is time to accept him as president. In an interview with ChannelFi (per Entertainment Weekly), the Oscar winner said that Hollywood “[doesn’t] have much of a choice” when it comes to accepting Donald Trump as leader of the free world.

“He’s our president,” he said, before admitting to the concerns this administration poses. “And it’s very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time that we’ve ever had. At the same time, it’s time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact, and be constructive with him over the next four years.”

McConaughey’s comments follow two weeks of celebrities speaking out against Trump since the inauguration, including the several bold-faced names who joined the Women’s March on Washington and its sister marches around the country on January 21. America Ferrera, for example, reminded the crowd of marchers in Washington, D.C., that they were gathered “across the country and the world to say, ‘Mr. Trump, we refuse.’ ”

Although many actors and artists are calling for resistance against Trump, his policies, and controversial executive orders, McConaughey is not alone in his stand for staying open-minded about the new administration.

Last month, Nicole Kidman told the BBC that the best way the American people can support their country is to support their president.

“So I just say, he’s now elected, and we as a country need to support whoever is the president because that’s what the country’s based on,” she said.

Kidman later corrected sources who referred to her remarks as an endorsement of Trump when she told Access Hollywood that she had been simply expressing her feelings about how a successful democracy works.

“I was trying to stress that I believe in democracy and the American Constitution, and it was that simple,” she said.

McConaughey strikes a similar tone with his words, calling for a constructive look at the actions of the 45th president.

‘So, even those who most strongly may disagree with his principles or things he’s said and done — which is another thing, we’ll see what he does compared to what he had said — no matter how much you even disagreed along the way, it’s time to think about how constructive can you be,” he said. “Because he’s our president for the next four years. At least.”

R229, McConaughey is a major sex symbol. If he'd been cast in Titanic, maybe he wouldn't have been as big a hit with thirteen-year-old girls as DiCaprio, but grown women seem to like old McBongo just fine. I mean, he was one of the major draws of Magic Mike, along with a bunch of other actors who look like adults. It's not just gays who like masculine men.

by Anonymousreply 232October 24, 2020 9:59 PM

McConaughey was too old for Titanic. The Jack character was only supposed to be around 22-ish and McConaughey looked a bit older.

He's really looked bad since he lost all that weight for Dallas Buyer's Club. I admire his duty to his craft, but these actors never seem to recover after extreme weight gains and/or losses. I think that's what gave Tom Hanks the diabeetus.

R218/R226 ia. Have never believed Leo in any hetero on-screen relationship dynamic, and found his gay roles most convincing and moving. I'm sure that's not for nothing.

You can see the TOTAL ECLIPSE kiss frame-by-frame way more clearly below, and it's obvious that Leo quickly dry-swallows and shows a second of out-of-character nervous excitement before David goes in for the main snog. Can't tell if Leo is using tongue, but that jaw is working harder than it probably needed to. Either the kid was really excited to play and get this role, or David was turning him on a little..

It is not uncommon for movie stars to do product endorsements anymore, in the same way that the stigma of a movie star doing TV has all but vanished. He’s probably making a killing doing these commercials despite not being strapped for cash. He even said on Howard that he could afford to stop doing rom-coms because he’d invested well.

R237, I agree. Dallas Buyers Club brought him an Oscar and a rebirth as a serious actor at the cost of a permanent downgrade to his looks.

I think that's one reason Brad Pitt has aged so well: He's always kept his weight steady. No big gains, no big losses, just steady attention to fitness throughout his adult years.

Calm down, R257. Did Brad Pitt touch you in a bad place or something?

Pitt does look thinner than usual in your pictures, but he never got emaciated for a role and he never got fat, either. I still maintain that this helped him hold his looks.

If you don't agree, by all means don't. But don't be such a fucking prick about it.

by Anonymousreply 259October 25, 2020 2:22 PM

Deflecting. Pitt has been emaciated a number of times. Ruining your cockamamie theory. Pitt might look great now because he is always a handsome man, and he has had great work and is fit now. He had SHITTY work on his face during the marriage to Angelina. And then he looked like a junky.

Like most douchebags, I really don't care about his privileged pretty white frat boy life. No matter what struggles you want to fabricate to create a 'struggle'.

And what kind of an ego do you have to write a memoir? Were people really asking for this? I don't think so.

This just underscores what I've always felt about him - massive ego and no self-awareness at all. Plus, now faux religious postering? Ugh.

by Anonymousreply 263October 25, 2020 2:31 PM

Okay, R260. Name one role where Brad Pitt seriously starved himself, like McConaughey did for DBC or Matt Damon did for Courage Under Fire or Christian Bale did for the Machinist. OR, name a role he got fat for, like Damon did for The Informant or Bale did for Vice and American Hustle. That is very different from getting thin/fat from stress, where the weight loss/gain is probably under 20 pounds, as it was in your pictures. You CAN'T name those roles because Pitt has NEVER done that. I'm sure there are other reasons he's aged well, but keeping his weight relatively steady is definitely one of them.

Now fuck off with your trolling.

Pitt aged so well because he has a Capricorn stellium. Such people are usually gawky and plain if nice-enough looking teens/20-somethings, who get better and better looking with time and natural ageing.

He’ll look fantastic in another ten years.

So is he going full Jane Fonda now? Submitting tidbits of dis-functional upbringing when he cools a bit? He is going have to up his game, as the bar is high, now that depression is the latest confessional on all social platforms, especially by hot gay-baiting studs with the very long "confessional" underneath the pose in the shower showing a right cheek thrust. He should try:

Coffee lady on Lincoln commercial set "objectified him" Wardrobe guy om Lincoln commercial set "brushed his special place" when fitting him. Terry Bradshaw made him be his "center" and practiced taking snaps from him on the set of "Failure to Launch." He has "super depressions" a new clinical category because of pandemic, this will be timed with new drug release by Astra-Zeneca.

I’ve lived in LA since the 1980’s and worked on and off in the entertainment industry. I’ve rarely met an actor who was not suffering from trauma and some mental illness. They’re mostly nuts and wounded, looking for validation from as many strangers as possible and willing to do many things they will later try to say they were forced into.

Matthew's first impression is of a butch top, but the more you listen to him talk and watch him move, the more he seems like a needy, narcissistic bottom. The type who needs coddling and cock every 5 seconds.
