Brandon Voss has a very candid conversation with Matthew McConaughey for The Advocate and asks the hunky star all the questions we crave answered.
I think it&#;s my favorite interview with McConaughey ever.
Here are some excerpts:
On stripping for the upcoming film Magic Mike in which he plays a strip club owner named Dallas: At first it was scary as hell, but then it became like a drug, and I couldn’t wait to do it again. Look, I like to dance, but I’ve never been a stripper. Channing [Tatum’s] one of the best hip-hop street dancers I’ve ever seen, and I didn’t desire to challenge his style, so I worked on my own strengths. I also knew that my dance had to be the dirtiest. It had to be wonderfully filthy. &#; That’s all me up there. I don’t need a stunt ass.&#;
On who is the hottest stripper in Magic Mike: &#;Dallas, of course. [Laughs] Everybody was pretty damn ripped already, but young man, if you really want to receive men in excellent shape, just say them they’re going to play male strippers in a mo

The man that Matthew McConaughey plays in Dallas Buyers Club is portrayed as a heterosexual, homophobic electrician – but he has been described variously as bisexual and even gay by those who knew him in concrete life.
The Oscar-nominated movie tells the courageous story of Ron Woodroof, who was diagnosed with Aids in and given just six months to live, but who survived several years more after taking banned medication that he smuggled into the U.S.
He arrange up a ‘buyers club’ in his home town of Dallas, which enabled others diagnosed with the same disease to obtain medication that would assist them live that bit
MatthewMcConaughey'sgay fans are no challenge looking forward to "Magic Mike," which will main attraction scenes of the celestial body stripping down to a thong alongside fellow heartthrobs Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello.
But the year-old hunk has always enjoyed a sizable gay fanbase, which he discusses at length in a recent interview with The Advocate.
"It’s much appreciated," he tells writer Brandon Voss of the support from the gay community. "You know, I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to queer , straight, or whatever, I’m for anything life-affirmative.

In real animation, many friends and acquaintances who were close to him utter they never thought of him as homophobic or as heterosexual. So why is the hero of the movie straight?
When my colleague Aisha Harris spoke with the film’s original screenwriter, Craig Borten, in late October (Borten later worked with co-screenwriter Melisa Wallack), she asked him if Woodroof’s journey from homophobe to ally was true to animation. Borten responded:
Yes homophobic—yes, his arc is real yet told in a dramatic way for the film and conveyed through his relationship through Rayon which is a composite character. Yes, the [Dallas club] and his diagnosis changed him.
In past interviews, Borten and the other filmmakers have insisted on the accuracy of the film’s portrayal of Woodroo
