6. The Actor Matthew McConaughey Can Actually, Like, Act
Talk about re-invention. Around a year ago Matthew McConaughey was a kind of laughing stock, a poor man’s Nicolas Cage with absolutely none of the irony. And then, wow, something happened – this guy can act? Whether it’s because McConaughey has made a conscious effort to seek out better, more interesting roles, 2012 is officially the year of the McConaughey, what with equally brilliant turns in Magic Mike and Killer Joe that absolutely nobody was expecting.
It’s a re-invention that’ll give the biggest naysayers and cynics hope, and one that Matthew McConaughey should be pleased with… especially since his willingness to, like, act now, has landed him a role in upcoming Martin Scorsese flick The Wolf of Wall Street where he’ll star alongside Leonard DiCaprio. Yes, Matthew McConaughey, you’ve officially Ben Afflecked. Now don’t mess this up, okay?
