Matthew McConaughey HONESTLY about the trauma

Actor Matthew McConaughey revealed that he was abused and blackmailed as a teenager.

Matthew McConaughey revealed in his memoirs Greenlights how he was blackmailed by sex and that he was asked to lose his virginity at the age of 15. “A man abused me when I was 18, attacked me, and knocked me unconscious in the back of the van” - the famous actor added.

The autobiography of the famous Oscar winner attracted a lot of attention precisely because of these details, and Matthew himself did not want to comment much and go into details. Despite the traumatic experiences, Matthew points out that he never felt like a victim.

Matthew McConaughey became famous with the comedy Dazed and confused, he has been married to Camila Alves since 2012 and they have three children. Recall, their love story dates back a long time, but the couple decided to get married only after 14 years of living together with another child. 

Although many romantic films have been made, Matthew McConaughey did not think he would experience romance in real life. In 2006, he did not seek the love of his life, he was completely satisfied with his single life. While he was at a bar with friends one night, Matthew spotted an enchanting figure. She immediately felt that she was a woman worth meeting. He approached her and asked her to join her at the table.

This is where the real love story began. Matthew still claims that he knew then that he wanted to "have fun" with her all his life.

Love doesn’t have to be at first sight. Camila claims that she fell in love gradually, but inevitably. When a blonde man approached her that evening, Camila had no idea that he was a famous actor. She didn't recognize him. It wasn't until they were approached by mutual friend Lance Armstrong that she realized who he was. She was so scared of the whole story that she wanted to run away from him. However, he did not want to lose sight of her for a minute.

Camila and Matthew are a perfect team and they realized that marriage is not a destination, but an adventure that will last for the rest of their lives. They respect each other and respect each other's personalities, and that counts the most in the end.
