The internet is full of awesome interviews and if you ever need 60-90 minutes to brighten your day, The Howard Stern Show on Sirius is your best bet! Last week he delved deep into Rom Com veteran and Oscar winner, Matthew McConaughey.

We learned so much! He didn’t “meet” Dallas Buyers Club co-star Jared Leto until the last take of the movie, he reinvented himself multiple times, and came from one of the self admitted, wildest families, ever!

McConaughey had nothing but great things to say about Leto, but revealed the two didn’t really get to know each other until the final day of shooting, since both stayed in character throughout the entire production of the film.

“Leto and I didn’t meet until after the final scene of the movie,” McConaughey told Stern. “When we finished, it’s a wrap, I turn around and go, ‘Leto, how’s it going?’ He goes, ‘It’s going alright, McConaughey. That was fun.'”

Even when cameras were off, McConaughey said he addressed Leto as his character Rayon. For McConaughey, the method acting process worked.

“That’s fun. That’s not a pain in the ass,” he said. “All actors have their different things they do. If it’s constructive to doing the best work, hey man, pour gas on the fire. Let’s go. Do it.”

Getting DBC on the screen was not easy as McConaughey told Stern about some of the early issues he encountered while trying to get his passion project made.

“We willed that picture into happening,” McConaughey said of he and director Jean-Marc Vallée. “We didn’t have any money to make it. We were talking out of our asses, we were bullshitting, but the thing is, we didn’t flinch.”

When the financing goals came up millions of dollars short, McConaughey explained how Vallée cut costs by scrapping the entire grip department (the lights). “The only light on the entire set was a headlight from the car that pulled me up,” McConaughey said.

On another note, “They’re outlaws,” McConaughey said of his parents. “Divorced twice, married three times, 39 years—they were wild.”

Despite their multiple marriages to each other, McConaughey’s parents adored each other until the very end. He told Stern how his dad died, just as he had always predicted he would.

“He said, ‘Boys, when I go, I’m going to be making love to your mother.’ He called his shot,” McConaughey said of his father, who yes indeed died during a moment of intimacy with his wife. McConaughey recalled how his mom insisted paramedics take her husband out of the home uncovered and fully nude, even though neighbors had gathered near the house.

“My mom’s out there, half naked, ripping the sheet off of him, ‘Get that sheet off of him! You’re going to see how Big Jim went out!'” McConaughey told Stern.

We highly recommend downloading the entire interview. He said enough, maybe he said too much.

McConaughey can be seen, yet unrecognizable, in the new movie Gold in theaters January, 27th.
