Matthew McConaughey opens up about finally returning to the big screen: ‘Remembered that acting is a vacation for me'
The wait is over. The man who once redefined the rom-com, then snagged an Oscar in a career reinvention few saw coming, has finally returned to the screen. After six years away from the spotlight, Matthew McConaughey is back, and he's bringing the slow-burning intensity that made him a Hollywood icon with The Rivals of Amziah King, which released this March. It's been a long road for the 55-year-old Texan, who stepped back from acting in 2016 following a remarkable run. During the first day on set of his new film, he wasn't afraid to show a little vulnerability. 'Is anybody else nervous except for me?' he asked the cast and crew. As the room erupted in laughter, McConaughey smiled and added, 'Alright, alright, alright, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.' As per Variety, the veteran actor felt like his boots had been in the closet for a bit too long. So why did McConaughey vanish from acting at the height of his career? 'I needed to write my own story, direct my own story on the page,' he says, reflecting on the years he spent out of the limelight. In 2020, he released Greenlights, his memoir that was equal parts autobiography, philosophical meditation, and wild road trip. He also voiced animated characters in Sing (2016) and Sing 2 (2021), but largely kept a low profile, focusing on family and self-discovery. McConaughey's return wasn't planned. It was inspired. When he came across the screenplay for The Rivals of Amziah King, written and directed by Andrew Patterson, something clicked. 'It's not where I grew up, but I know of these kind of people and these places and these kind of characters that live in the middle of the country,' McConaughey says. 'This group of people in southeast Oklahoma where the film takes place know the Constitution, they know the rules they are living by, and they're not looking for or getting approval from the rest of the world. I understand them.' Set in southeastern Oklahoma, the film centres on a reclusive beekeeper and his relationship with his foster son — an unlikely tale with grit. And being back on set reignited something in him. 'I remembered a couple of things,' he says. 'One, how much I truly enjoy performing. Two, I remembered, hey, McConaughey, you're pretty damn good at this. And three, I remembered that acting is a vacation for me, and what I mean by vacation is that when I'm performing, it's my singular focus. When I walk out the door in the morning, my wife says, 'go kick some ass. I got the kiddos. We're good.' That's vacation. Because I'm not multitasking. I'm not compartmentalising. I'm fully focused on finding the truth of my character.' And for audiences who've missed that signature mix of swagger and soul, The Rivals of Amziah King is more than just a comeback — it's a homecoming.

'A huge blow': After romantic wedding appearance with Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift is still blindsided by Blake Lively's legal scandal
Taylor Swift is reportedly surprised to find herself involved in Blake Lively's legal issues (Getty Images) Taylor Swift may be one of the world's biggest music icons, but not even she can escape being pulled into unexpected drama—especially when it involves close friends. The singer now finds herself entangled in Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle, a situation that has taken a surprising and deeply personal turn. Taylor Swift 'never expected' to be caught in the crossfire and stays silent for a reason Sources close to Taylor Swift insist the pop star is shocked by the situation. 'Taylor still considers Blake a close friend, but she never expected to be so involved in this drama,' a source told Life & Style. With her recent Eras Tour wrapped and boyfriend Travis Kelce 's NFL season behind them, Swift hoped for quieter days—but this unexpected scandal disrupted that calm. "It's a huge blow," the source added. Her representative issued a firm statement clarifying her non-involvement: 'Taylor was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film.' This situation echoes Swift's past experiences with betrayal, notably the infamous Kanye West call leak. The source added, 'She definitely doesn't want to disclose private details from their friendship.' Still, despite the storm, insiders say loyalty remains: 'She will always be loyal. While there may have been hurt feelings and miscommunication, Swift and Lively's friendship will survive.' Even in Hollywood, some bonds seem built to withstand the headlines. Taylor Swift stuns at Tennessee wedding with Travis Kelce Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance on Friday when she showed up at a wedding alongside her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. Videos shared on TikTok captured the Grammy-winning singer looking radiant in a strapless blue floral Markarian dress, valued at nearly $2,000, paired with heels. The ceremony took place in a rustic barn setting in Knoxville, Tennessee. Swift styled her hair in soft curls that flowed down her back, while Kelce, 35, opted for a laid-back look in a quarter-sleeve shirt and slacks. The occasion was the wedding of Kelce's cousin, Tanner Corum, who married Samantha Peck.

Sly Stone, pioneering funk legend, dies at 82
Sly Stone , the visionary musician whose genre-defying work with Sly and the Family Stone reshaped popular music in the late 1960s and 1970s, has died at the age of 82. Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, passed away surrounded by family after battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments, his publicist Carleen Donovan confirmed on Monday. A revolutionary force in music Formed in the Bay Area in 1966-67, Sly and the Family Stone broke new ground as the first major band to feature Black and white men and women, embodying the spirit of an era marked by social upheaval and hope. Their music—a vibrant fusion of jazz, psychedelic rock, soul, doo-wop, and the emerging sounds of funk—captured the euphoria and turbulence of the Woodstock generation. The band's breakthrough came with the 1968 single 'Dance to the Music,' which hit the Top 10 during a week marked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Their anthems, including 'Everyday People,' 'Stand!,' and 'Family Affair,' became rallying cries for unity and non-conformity, with the phrase 'different strokes for different folks' entering the popular lexicon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo Enduring legacy Sly and the Family Stone released five Top 10 singles—three of which reached No. 1—and three million-selling albums: 'Stand!,' 'There's a Riot Goin' On,' and 'Greatest Hits.' Their electrifying 1969 Woodstock performance and Stone's flamboyant stage presence left an indelible mark on music and culture. Stone's influence extended far beyond his brief peak from 1968 to 1971. Artists as diverse as George Clinton, Prince, Rick James, and the Black Eyed Peas drew inspiration from his work, and his riffs have been sampled by hip-hop legends like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. In 2023, his memoir 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)' was published, and in 2025, Questlove released the documentary 'Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius).' Live Events Sly Stone's innovative sound and message of inclusivity continue to resonate, cementing his place as a true architect of modern music.
