Want to know how to live like a celebrity? Matthew McConaughey just gave what he thinks is the most “underrated” way to start the day, and it turns out that’s actually not super glamorous. Like, at all.
On a recent episode of Subway Takes, where host Kareem Rahma meets up with celebrities and other interesting people on the New York City subway for a two-minute hot take, the Texan actor got candid. McConaughey took time out of his committed support for UT football to appear on the show, which is popular for its bite-sized social media format and tendency to touch on any subject under the sun. McConaughey said that while it may be “taboo” to take on the subject, “the most underrated part of a good day is dropping a good deuce in the a.m.”
“You get half an inch taller, mind’s clearer, thoughts are clicking, eyes get bluer,” he said.
McConaughey and Rahma joked that the day can start going sideways if you don’t start it off this way. “If you haven’t yet, I get a little bit of an edge,” McConaughey added.
Turns out, his opinion is pretty universal. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days heartthrob asked the packed subway car if they “agree on the value of a great morning deuce” and got some approval and feedback from the fellow travelers. Honestly, getting people on the New York subway to look up from their phones, let alone speak to strangers, is a feat in and of itself.
McConaughey is currently promoting his Apple TV+ series Brothers with Woody Harrelson, which airs weekly until November 4. In the show, the two lifelong friends and fellow Texans play fictionalized versions of themselves and uncover a family secret that leads them to believe they may actually be related.
