CNN —Matthew McConaughey is a native of Texas, but that’s not the only reason he and his family now reside there.
During a recent appearance on the “Good Trouble” podcast, the Oscar-winning actor spoke with tennis pro Nick Kyrgios about his life and career.
One thing he learned, McConaughey said, was the importance of saying no.
Hollywood said no, no, no, no, you should stay there, stay there.”The “Magic Mike” star said “since I couldn’t do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing.”“I moved down to the ranch in Texas,” McConaughey said.
It paid off for McConaughey, who went on to nab more serious roles like his work in “Dallas Buyers Club” for which he won a best actor Academy Award in 2014.
