Matthew McConaughey reveals the real reason he moved back to Texas at height of his acting career


Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey officially bid farewell to Southern California and moved back to his home state of Texas with his family in 2014.

Starring opposite fellow rom-com favorites Jennifer Lopez and Kate Hudson in hit films like The Wedding Planner (2001) and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (2003) helped make McConaughey a household name. He was so desperate to no longer be typecast that he 'stopped' taking roles — even turning down an unnamed action comedy film with a $14.5 million salary — and relocated from Los Angeles to a ranch in Austin in the early 2010s; seen in October 2024 'Ritual came back, whether that was Sunday church, sports, dinner together as a family every night, or staying up after that telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and nibbling while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before,' he explained.
