By Dan | August 27th, 2009 | Category: Hammin' It Up With..., The Films |The Hollywood Ham: Mr. McConaughey, thanks for joining us.
Matthew McConaughey: Well, alright.
HH: So I see that you’re working — Wait, are you taking off your shirt?
MM: I cannot and will not wait to take off my shirt.
HH: We had a hard time getting you in for an interview.
MM: I’m a hard man to get a hold of.
HH: Be that as it may, it’s mostly because our contact info was wrong. We had no idea how to spell your last name.
MM: C’mon bro, that’s no excuse. Even I have no idea how to spell my last name. I end up putting down “McCawnahay” or Maccaunoghey.”
HH: So what do you put on official forms?
MM: I usually just write “Matty Mac.”
HH: Interesting. When was the last you paid any taxes?
MM: Matthew McConauwhatsit pays no taxes. Matty Mac, however, owes the government a lot of money.
HH: Isn’t that troublesome?
MM: That’s the genius of it. He only exists on paper.
HH: Can you please put your shirt back on?
MM: No.
