Although Matthew McConaughey didn’t expound much on these two incidents at the time, he recently opened up to Amanda de Cadenet on the “The Conversation: About the Men” podcast about learning to heal from and move past them. “I’m not gonna be afraid of relationships because my first experience was blackmail. Uh-uh. That’s an aberration,” he said on September 18, 2022 (per Page Six). “… I’m not gonna let that beat my sense of trust in people and say, ‘No, I can have a healthy relationship.’ Non-negotiable.”
In his 2020 memoir, “Greenlights,” McConaughey touched upon other traumatic incidents, including his father’s death in 1992. The actor put his candor to humorous use when writing about it. “He’d had a heart attack when he climaxed” (during sex with McConaughey’s mother), the actor described, per USA Today, fondly recalling, “He’d always told me and my brothers, ‘Boys, when I go, I’m gonna be makin’ love to your mother.’
As McConaughey told USA Today in 2020, he understandably did “a huge amount of laughing” and “a huge amount of crying” when writing “Greenlights.” Fortunately, he said at the time, “Most of my tears came from being able to go back and feel the love that my family had.”
