“My parents had an interesting relationship,” he recently toldThe Wall Street Journal.
“They divorced twice and married three times.
They loved each other, but they both ran hot and neither backed down.”
Despite that, Kay found time to foster the talent she saw in her youngest son.
“Mom prepared me to be an actor long before my first audition,” McConaughey recalled.
“She’d say, ‘You don’t walk into a room like you want to buy the place.
You walk in like you own it.'”
It’s safe to say that that advice paid off.
Today, McConaughey and his wife Camila live with their three children in Austin.
Kay, now, 88, has been living with them during the coronavirus pandemic.
“She’s still an outlaw,” the actor toldWSJ.
“I recently asked if she regretted anything,” he continued.
McConaughey closed the interview with a few pieces of his mama’s best advice.
