This Explains So Much

Filed under: Matthew McConaughey

xavierandmatthew.jpg

Blame his mom!

Explaining his penchant for always being shirtless, Mateo McConaughey tells the new issue of Playboy:

"Well, I grew up in the country and didn't wear shirts or shoes," the Texas native explains. "My mom didn't even put a bathing suit on us in the country club until we were nine."

Did your mom give you your bath ’til you were twelve too????

    39

    Not true…..I grew up with Matthew in Longview, TX (pop. approx 75,000) and he did not live in the country…he lived in an upper mid class subdivision and his mother was very strict about his appearance….he wore preppy clothes and was not naked at any country club here….ever. And he wore deodorant daily and bathed regularly, too. His nasty, earthy phase started AFTER college. He's a dumbass.

  43. Perez ur disgusting! says – reply to this


    43

    Perez you're a sick fuck. Just because they lived in the country and didn't wear shirts or bathing suits till they were 9 doesn't mean their mom was a perv! They're kids and this was back in the day when communities were safe and didn't have sick perverted sex offenders like you in them! You disgust me!

  44. Jen says – reply to this


    44

    Hey, that's XAVIER RUDD in the photo with Mateo! Xavier is one of the coolest most down to earth artists around, an unbelievably talented musician. He truly is wonderful ..playing so many different instruments, his voice and lyrics are magical and breathtaking. Mateo must know good music!

  45. mamacita gusano says – reply to this


    45

    Perez's mother STILL gives him baths.

    Tongue baths.

    Bathing your unmarried adult children with your tongue is an honored tradition amongst the high-class Cubans (such as Perez).

    (He's a pure bred Spanoristillican ya' know)

    Matty's with Xavier Rudd in this picture!! Xav is amazing. Clearly MM love a good Aussie. But frankly, don't we all? Mother Earth — she breathes good love!

    hahaha so he grew up in the "country", but he went to a country club?? that doesnt quite follow

  51. dee says – reply to this


    51

    you grew up int the "country" but you belonged to the "country club"? that's mixed metaphore, dude!

  52. Kacky says – reply to this

    Yeah, they were the family that thought they owned the ebach, with their kids pooping everywhere.

    I DON'T THINK THIS DELICIOUS SLAB OF MAN CANDY SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO WEAR A SHIRT. SAW HIM ON A MAGAZINE COVER JUST NOW AND HE WAS SHIRTLESS BUT HIS LICKABLE CHEST WAS COVERED UP WITH WRITING!!! FUCKING PISSED ME OFF!!!

    Not aging well at all, his eye bags are crooked too. And of course he is wearing his famous raggy head gear to cover is shinny bald dome.

  56. Shell from OZ says – reply to this


    56

    Hey Perez, thats Xavier Rudd with MMc, you should check out his music, he's a veritable one man band, a damn good human being and environmentalist!!

  57. x says – reply to this


    57

    He grew up as a redneck.

  58. missy says – reply to this


    58

    perez, i cordially invite you to spend the month of july in texas, where you will no doubt learn about the need to wear as little as possible, while still retaining some modesty. it's just too damn hot to wear clothes!

    redneck? last time i checked, rednecks weren't allowed to use the pool at the country club

  64. pdr says – reply to this


    64

    Typical nasty texas dude. Bet the native hos think he's hot.

  65. abby says – reply to this


    65

    He grew up in a rich so called "country" called the country club of Quail Valley in Missouri City, Texas. I live there now. It is right out side of Houston.

  66. Elizabeth says – reply to this


    66

    I think it's hilarious that he is trying to make it seem like the country as he goes on to describe the 'country club'… His mom was probably too drunk to bother making sure he had his bathing suit on.

    He stole Penelope's childhood story of hanging out in the buff as a family…

  67. kate says – reply to this


    67

    Uh, how the hell could it be left out that Matt M. is with the talented and most wonderful Xavier Rudd?? Come on, Perez, catch up with the times!

  73. mary says – reply to this

    He looks like Martina Navratilova in this picture…without the penis.
    Will someone please tell Matt to wash his damn ass!
    His thoughts on bathing and just general hygiene are fucked!
    BTW…who's the fuzzy guy next to him wearing that fashionable tie-dye shirt?
    Kind of cute. In a crazy stoned sort of way.

    Luv Ya P Nasty!

    He makes it sound like they grew up in the sticks….that is, until he mentions the COUNTRY CLUB! Matty, come on. You were rich, nekked, and spoiled. Your momma didn't put a bathing suit on you because you were one of those spoiled little shits who never wanted to be clothed. Admit it.

    if his family belonged to a country club why does he sound like he grew up in a trailer park?
