Matthew McConaughey's fame bite

3 months ago 20th Mar 07:05

Matthew McConaughey says fame "bit him in the butt".

The Hollywood actor claims he never went looking for stardom, but simply had it thrust upon him.

He said: "I never went in search of fame. It came and bit me in the butt."

The 38-year-old star - who was charged with marijuana possession and resisting arrest after being caught playing the bongos nude in his garden in 1999 - admits becoming a celebrity threw his life into chaos.

He said: "I guess you could say my life went crazy there for a couple of years."

But McConaughey insists he always knew the fuss surrounding him would calm down.

He added: "I had a hundred options after 'A Time To Kill' in 1996 but then my stock went down. But if I didn't understand that then I'm in the wrong business. Besides, it made me work harder."
