Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey said he turned down offers as high as $14.5 million because he no longer wanted to play romantic comedy roles.
McConaughey told "The Diary of a CEO" podcast host Steven Bartlett recently that he was determined to avoid being typecast, even if it meant rejecting multimillion-dollar scripts. The 55-year-old said Hollywood kept offering him similar roles despite his interest in dramas, and his refusal, he added, reshaped the direction of his career.
