https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/matthew-mcconaugheys-book-for-children-came-to-him-in-a-dream-cbde1cb1Matthew McConaughey insists that “the only” role he ever truly wanted to play was that of dad. “It just seemed like it was the greatest thing a man can do,” he says. He dates the dawning of this desire back to childhood, when he met a bunch of his father’s friends in a parking lot in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
McConaughey’s Texas drawl, which softens every consonant and drops nearly every “g,” lends an authentic flair to stories about his down-home family values and a working-class childhood among hard-lovin’, Miller-Lite swiggin’ folk. He long ago traded his Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle for a family-friendly SUV that better accommodates his three children—ages 11, 12 and 15—with his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey.
