I can’t be the only gal in town who harbors a…lack of like (?) for the be-muscled Matthew McConaughey. Don’t get me wrong — I like a well-toned set of pecs as much as the next person. But I’ve never been one for the male bimbo look, especially when (as the folks at Defamer reported) said male bimbo bares his, ahem, "peen" (to quote my esteemed colleague Michael Slezak), while playing the didgeridoo. (I remember that guy from the campus quad at college, and it’s not something I need to see ever again, even under the guise of farce.) So, IMHO, even though my colleague Nicole Sperling makes a perfectly reasoned argument that the film tanked due to lack of interest, no distribution, and a dismal Metacritic score, my feeling is that, at least in Matthew McConaughey’s* case, some jewels are best wrapped up and left under the tree.
Feel free to disagree, of course — I’m guessing some of you will. But let me ask: Would you, or have you, ever seen a film just because your favorite actor reveals more than his or her prodigious acting talents?
*Extra points deducted for the impossible spelling of his last name.
He’s actually a good actor. I don’t know why he continues to make crap after crap
I’m with you, Adrienne. Every time I see him in something, it reminds me of his creepy character in Dazed and Confused. I just automatically associate him with that role, and his pink jeans and bad hair. He’s attractive, sure, but that’s not enough to make me go see one of his movies.
Having said all of that, I would go see anything Gerard Butler is in. The man is just delicious.
He always just looks unwashed, sweaty and dirty to me. Case in point, the picture with this article.
He was already on my last nerve before my discovery of his Men’s Health interview, and now I can barely look at him. “Hey, I’m a MAN. I build stuff. I like objectifying chicks. I like my body. Misogyny rocks.”
I don’t know, even with his good looks, there’s something scuzzy about him. I can’t get past the interview where he talked about never wearing deodorant. Who would ever admit to such a thing!
Can you imagine a world where scuzzy is an acceptable/desirable female trait? Janeane Garofalo can assure you that the world just ain’t ready.
I don’t know about gals, but I know two guys who are mad for Matthew…and one of them is straight! I quote, “I’d go gay for Matthew McConaughey.”
I don’t think your straight friend’s alone, BrandonK. MattMc seems to exude a weird ‘bromance’ attraction for straight guys. MH readers go ga-ga for his brainless maxims.
Seeing McStoner’s junk is hardly a reason for me to sit through a film that seems like total crap! Although, I might watch it when it comes out on DVD next week.
He hasn’t been in anything worthwhile in ages. I think he’s the male equivalent of his often costar Kate Hudson, both of them “actors” (but not great ones) who Hollywood seems determined to foist on the public over and over again in mindless drivel to convince us they are stars based on their looks. I’m not buying it for both of them. The executives who keep financing their dreadful films and still think they have star power are so wrong!
I’ve never been a fan of his acting, his movies, or his very bizarre off-screen persona (which I seem to see a lot of on our local news since I live in the Austin area). I’m female and I do think he has a nice-enough body, but that’s about all. As for his movies — if I see that he’s in something that usually indicates that I DON’T want to see the film.
Matthew has never done it for me, I must say – I was never a huge fan before but, much like Andi, once he revealed his disdain for deodorant I was definitely NOT interested. But to answer the question at hand, yes I totally would and I absolutely have watched a movie just to see one of my favorite actors disrobe. Even if I don’t faithfully watch from start to finish, I’ll at least skim.

I have seen many of his movies, and frequently get them as gifts- I think he’s hot so I’ll watch just about anything he’s in, even while making fun of myself for doing so. I’m sure someone has already planned to buy me “Surfer Dude”! lol
She’s All That – Channing Tatum often in cut off sweat shorts and nothing else – need I say more?
Thank you, Adrienne! I don’t find MMcC remotely appealing, and I certainly wouldn’t watch a movie to see his, um, “assets.” Or anyone’s, really.
