> “I needed to get my feet on the ground,” McConaughey said. “So I click out. Boom. Go to Peru. I needed to find it, to check the validation. I knew I had it, I just had to go prove it again. But I did question, now that I just got famous, I’ve got all this affiliation for this and that and the other. And I’m trying to decipher which part’s real, which part’s bullshit.”
> The first 12 days of McConaughey’s pilgrimage were “wonky” but the back half proved enlightening for him, he explained: I was now at the place long enough to go, ‘I could live this. This could be my existence. As soon as you go, ‘I could do this.’ Then you’re like, ‘Well, I can return home.’”
> “I needed to meet people who knew me as Mateo,” McConaughey added. “And at the end of 22 days, the tears in their eyes and the tears in my eyes and the hugs we had on the sadness and happiness of saying goodbye were all based off of the man they met named Mateo, who had nothing to do with the celebrity. It reaffirmed my own identity that, ‘Oh, I still got it. This is based on me.’”
Except for his phone and satalite Internet connection. Now, come on. Bullshit.
For three weeks? That’s called a vacation. Lol.
TWENTY TWO DAYS?!?!?!
Being wealthy allows you to take 3 week long vacations in other countries.
So…he went camping in Peru for a few weeks?
That’s a vacation to you, guy. People live like that their entire lives.
You’ll never live like common people

100% chance he enjoys the smell of his own farts.
dude went on a vacay. this isnt news worthy
I was in the Peace Corps in Peru for two years. 22 days is a rounding error.
Mateo Macanagüey.
With the money he made from Hollywood.
In today’s edition of Hollywood Star Needs to Feel Important, we present this pretentious bullshit.
Bueno, bueno, bueno.
He went on vacation with a fake name?
This is the most underwhelming thing ever
So he changed his name to the Spanish pronunciation of Matthew?
That was just his excuse to get the Tivo to Tugg Speedman.
Dudes will do anything but go to therapy.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.
Did he ever do this before? So about 6 years ago, in my city, this guy started working as a waiter at the local Japanese restaurant looking and talking EXACTLY like Matthew McConaughey. Like I was like holy shit, when I saw him. I went twice over the course of one month and this guy was there but was gone after that and I never saw him again. To this day I SWEAR it was him.
“Actor went camping”
Yeah, I’ve involuntarily exiled my self from my industry as well. AKA unemployment.
and then came back to his mansion after and made it his entire personality at dinner parties lol
“I wanted to go to a place where I can play my bongos naked and in peace.”
I don’t think exile means what this author thinks it means
Bullshit. He just went to the jungle for a month to play the bongos and smoke
Stuff
That’s called a vacation
