About this episode

The actor Matthew McConaughey joins Eve for this episode of Constantly Evolving.

Starring in box office films including The Wedding Planner and Dallas Buyers Club, Matthew reflects on his 30 year career and analyses the decisions he made.

On taking time away from the limelight to document his thoughts and life in his journals, he’s now turned these writings into a new book. This act, Matthew says, has allowed him process his journey.

The Hollywood star famously turned down a $15 million film offer in his quest to undertake more dramatic roles. He explains what gave him the courage to stay strong on his convictions and shape his career in the way he wanted it to look.

Producer: Candace Wilson Exec Producer: Christina Moore Editor: Jake Wittlin
