BIRTH PLACE

Uvalde, Texas

Some guys are just lucky: After a chance meeting with director Richard Linklater, Matthew McConaughey was cast in the 1993's Dazed and Confused. What was meant to be a small part kept growing, and a too-handsome-for-words Hollywood career was born. 

Whether appearing in serious dramas (A Time to Kill, Contact) or romantic comedies (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Wedding Planner), his wry Texas charm is always on display. Even his 1999 arrest for marijuana possession after being found playing the bongos naked in his home, tends to only make people smile.
