This is last week's cover of People magazine. He looks so serious, so contemplative. I am not trying to suggest that he is not a "serious" actor....
During the initial release of Dallas Buyers Club, we were all impressed, of course. And much of the buzz went Jared Leto's way. Then, slowly, there was this McConaughey momentum and he won the Golden Globe.
Now Dallas Buyers Club is back in theaters. And we have photos like this. This is really not a post about Matthew McConaughey. This isn't a thing wrong with this man and his very present talent. It's not even a serious post. I just find it funny how flexible, if fickle the Hollywood machine is. And it works fast. I don't think we would have seen straightforward photography of a year ago, let alone three months ago. These aren't amusing images of an amusing actor who doesn't take life to seriously, nor are they of the beach-bum pseudo-stoner persona.
I wonder if it will last. There are some rumors of a Magic Mike 2 so...
As a side note, this post could just as easily been titled, "Since when does Matthew McConaughey look like Paul Newman?" and then we can all just get lost in those beautiful eyes.
