17 Photos of Early '00s Matthew McConaughey To Obsess Over Immediately
Matthew McConaughey may bear the title of Oscar winner, but there was a time when he was mostly known for being the creep checking out the high school ladies in Dazed and Confused. Since then, the Dallas Buyers Club star has romantic comedy's leading guy, an action star, and, now, bonafide award-winning movie star. But no matter how highbrow McConaughey gets, let's not forget about these amazing photos of him during the early 00s that prove he's just one laid back dude trapped in the body of an A-list celebrity.
