Kicking Back With the Films of Matthew McConaughey on Satellite TV

April 29th, 2010 by

Certain movie stars seem to have a star quality about them that makes them feel a bit untouchable, while others can kick back on the couch across from anyone from Jay Leno to Barbara Walters and still maintain the sort of “aw shucks” attitude that has guys ready to go drinking with them and girls wishing that they could date them.

She’s in charge of the film crew, and is surprised that audiences are so interested in seeing a regular person’s life. She definitely doesn’t want to be messing with him, but the higher-ups have better ideas, and start placing obstacles in his life to boost ratings. He, of course, is clueless the entire time.
