Matthew McConaughey ‘doesn’t believe he’s made it’ despite his professional and personal success

Matthew McConaughey boasts a beautiful family and a glittering film career spanning more than two decades.

But the 48-year-old isn’t about to get complacent anytime soon. 

Speaking with BW magazine on Saturday, the Oscar-winning actor revealed ‘he truly doesn’t believe he’s made it’. 

‘I truly don’t believe I’ve made it’: Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, 48, told BW magazine on Saturday that he doesn’t feel complacent despite his professional and personal success

The down-to-earth star told the publication: ‘I don’t believe that, ah, I’m Matthew McConaughey. I’m 48, I’ve got a family, I’ve got a wife, I’ve got three kids, everyone’s healthy right now, I’ve got a career, I’ve won an Oscar. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I did it”.

He further explained: ‘There’s chapters of success and failures but there’s not a spot where you get to take a deep breath and go – I’ve finally made it. Then you become stagnant. That’s not as fun’.

Matthew shot to fame in the critically acclaimed 1993 film Dazed and Confused, and has been one of Hollywood’s biggest stars ever since.

The Texas-native has managed to maintain both critical and commercial success, juggling popular rom-coms with highly-acclaimed dramas.

He won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as AIDS patient Ron Woodroof in The Dallas Buyers Club.

A year earlier, he married his long-time girlfriend Camilla Alves, and the pair now have three children – Levi, 10, Vida, eight, and Livingston, five.

Speaking with Cigar Aficonado last month, Matthew spoke about the first time he laid eyes on his now-wife, back in 2006.

At the time, he was 37 years old and he told the magazine that his ‘clock was ticking.’

‘I was about to be 40 and my plan was to be married and have kids by that age. But I didn’t want to play the game of starting to feel anxious because, with too much anxiety, you can’t find a mate.’ 

‘And then this amazing woman walked across my field of vision and I thought, ‘Who is that?’ And it was Camila.’
