“#Matthew McConaughey Almost Quit Acting — And You’ll Never Guess What He Wanted To Do Instead!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s kind of crazy to think what could have happ<\/a>ened to Matthew McConaughey<\/strong> had he not stuck with acting!<\/p>\n

The A-list movie star is revisiting what might\u2019ve been this week in a brand new interview with Oprah Winfrey<\/strong>, and his possible post-acting career choices are, ummmm, CRAZY!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Oscar<\/strong> winner sat down with the world-famous host and interviewer for her newest episode of\u00a0Apple TV+<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0The Oprah Conversation<\/em>, where he opened up\u00a0about a time when he\u2019d been endlessly trying to transition from the sexy leading man (How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days<\/em>, anyone?!) to more serious, dramatic roles.<\/p>\n

During that tough transition, the 50-year-old star admitted he actually almost called it quits altogether \u2014 nearly pulling the plug on acting to move into a new career! Whoa! Could you even imagine?!<\/p>\n

Getting really real with Oprah about the situation, McConaughey revealed his career options (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cI dabbled with thinking about other careers. I dabbled with thinking about being a high school football coach, I dabbled with being a symphony orchestra leader, I dabbled with being a wildlife guide, with being a school teacher. So I dabbled with those things. I was not going back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

WOW!<\/p>\n

Could you imagine Matthew McConaughey as your local high school football coach??<\/p>\n

Ultimately, though, the talented actor realized his frustrating film career had been throwing up road blocks for a reason: there was a BIG reward on the other side if he only persevered.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Mud<\/em> star summed up why he ultimately didn\u2019t leave acting, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I was in. Just the same way I went to Australia for a year and stayed on a handshake, I was in. And I started to get that feeling that even though the harder this gets, this means there\u2019s more reward on the other side. Stick with it, stay in it, don\u2019t pull the parachute, McConaughey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No kidding!<\/p>\n

Considering his career since that point \u2014 including high-profile work in True Detective<\/em> and an Oscar nod for\u00a0Dallas Buyers Club<\/em> \u2014 it sure seems like he made the right decision to stick with film work, ya know?!<\/p>\n

BTW, McConaughey has been very retrospective about his career of late, what with his new memoir and all. And it\u2019s given us some great stories and interesting insights! Always fascinating to hear about what\u2019s really going on behind the scenes!<\/p>\n

Crazy to think what might have been had he walked away from all of it, though\u2026<\/p>\n

Perhaps there\u2019s a lesson in this for all of us!<\/p>\n
