Houston Chronicle on Texan Matthew McConaughey
In Houston Chronicle, Pam Grady profiles Matthew McConaughey and the way he found the character of Ron Woodroof in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB. Fascinating piece with McConaughey going into detail about how he used Ron's actual diaries, and what he took away from the role. But co-star Jennifer Garner also brings some insight with her comparison between the actor and his character:
Ron lived his life all the way out...He was a real cowboy. He was a cowboy in the way he took on the medical system and fought for this own health. That's part of why Matthew is the perfect guy to do it, not just because of his Texan roots, but because of the way he lives his life. He's a big person. He's not afraid of anything. He puts it all right out on the table and there are no filters on Matthew. He's a cowboy in the way he acts and that's why we all love him.
