‘To lose the power of confrontation is to lose the power of unity’ No, you’re Little Mr Texas.” McConaughey calls this the lesson of “audacious existentialism”. When he confronted his mother, she said the winner was wealthy and won with his fancy suit. Last year, McConaughey came across the same photo in a scrapbook. Through it all he’s always been Winner, Little Mr Texas, 1977. He has weathered hard winters of the soul, and long professional droughts. He has been up and down, endured boom and bust, gone from livin on easy street to trailer parks. Now 50, McConaughey is an Oscar-winning actor, a bankable star and still one of the most handsome men in Hollywood. “Look at you: winner, Little Mr Texas, 1977.” Every morning at breakfast, she gestures to it. He wins, and his mom hangs a framed picture of him holding his trophy on the kitchen wall. When McConaughey is eight years old, she enters him into the Little Mr Texas contest.
“Like a good southern boy should”, McConaughey begins with his mother.
