There are a few stories of celebrity gossip past that will live in our hearts forever. The rumor that Billy Bob Thornton only ate orange foods. The supposed coupling of Nicole Richie and Jeff Goldblum. Matthew McConaughey getting arrested for smoking weed while playing the bongos naked. Our favorite mellow man is now talking about that last one, and much as you would expect, he found the whole experience to be alright, alright, alright. Reports MSNBC:
What better way to ease into the weekend than with the enlightened worldview of Matthew McConaughey, who graces the cover of Menís Journal?In the accompanying interview, no topic is verboten, not even his awkward (and naked) arrest for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in October 1999. Austin, Texas, police responded to a noise disturbance call and found the actor dancing naked and playing bongo drums. He was arrested for possession of marijuana and resisting arrest, but the drug charges were later dropped.
McConaughey says the night of the arrest ìwas real enjoyable until I looked up and saw someone in the house who I knew I hadnít invited.î (That would be the police.)
ì(Things became) less enjoyable when he (the police officer) was tryiní to pin me to the ground and I was fightiní back,î the magazine recounts.
That did not spoil the evening however, as there were friends to be made ó in jail. ìIt sucked when I was goiní into the jail, and once I got in jail it became enjoyable again because there were some real fun cellmates. We were singiní songs,î he said.
How would you expect MM to react to jail? Bitch and moan like some spoiled Hollywood brat? No way. If the entire world were lost to nuclear holocaust and McConaughey was the only survivor, he'd probably say, "It's cool, man. No more competition for the tasty waves, Broseph."
