Who is his brother Matthew McConaughey?
Matthew David McConaughey was born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio on 4 November 1969, in Uvalde, Texas USA; he holds American nationality, and his ethnicity is of mixed Irish, German, English, Scottish and Swedish descent.

Matthew was raised in Uvalde by his parents, who had an interesting love life as they married three times with each other. His mother was a kindergarten teacher, and his father was the owner of an oil pipe supply business. He is the youngest in the family, and as he said he was a surprise since his mother supposedly couldn’t conceive after she gave birth Michael, so adopted Pat, but five years later Matthew was born, and they gave him this name which means ‘gift from God’.
Speaking about Matthew’s education background, he attended Longview High School, and he spent a year as a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Warnervale, New South Wales, Australia. Upon matriculating in 1989, he enrolled at the University of Texas, Austin, from which he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Science in Radio-Television-Films, in 1993.
Matthew planned to become a lawyer, however, his family couldn’t support him financially at college, so since he had experience with acting in some music videos, he pursued an acting career.

In the early 2000s, he was recognized as the most likeable romantic comedy actor, starring in “The Wedding Planner”, “Thirteen Conversation About One Thing”, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”, and “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”, among others.
At one moment in his career, Matthew wanted to change how his career was going, so he asked his agent to find him roles in movies which differed from romantic comedies.
