Matthew McConaughey has an Oscar, an estimated $200 million net worth, and a hefty catalog of 20 years’ worth of reviews—good and bad. Despite his clear career success, he collated all the worst things ever written about him, went to the desert for a weekend, and read every one.
“I took them on as a thick book…not all the positive, the negative ones—and I sat with them,” McConaughey said in a recent interview with the Build or Break podcast.
