OlderMatthew McConaughey: Travel Update!
Matthew McConaughey just updated his MySpace Celebrity, posting pics of himself, longtime love Camila and their son Levi. Here’s what he shared about his latest travels, generously plugging away at his new brand:
“Back on the west coast after some incredible travels… cool inspirations seen and done via the road and had some real just keep livin (jkl) moments along the way…
-Took a 14 day road trip with my buddy Gus down to southern Baja. He and I became great friends on the road 16 years ago and we needed to get back on track with our friendship and do some of that old fashioned phi-loso-phising that only a road trip can render…we needed it, we got it, thanks Gus…j.k. livin
-We broke down in the middle of the desert while on that trip, in a place where we hadn’t seen nor heard another human for three days. I had to jog down a dirt road for a couple of hours in hope of finding a trace of anyone…Well, I finally did, and her name was “Matty“, an 82 year old Mexican woman who loaned me (a complete stranger speaking broken Spanish), her 1981 Isuzu truck with 263,000 miles on it. That truck got us to a place where we could get the gear to fix MY truck and get back on the road…Thanks Matty….just keep livin….Good hearted strangers and trust….cool
-After 4,206 miles of camping across America, I was once again reminded of how good looking this country is…saw family and friends, met strangers, made acquaintances…I was in some predominately “red” states when President-elect Obama was elected. I talked to a bunch of people who had voted for McCain and-check this- unanimously, those same people were genuinely excited and hopeful about Obama being elected…They all felt that the country had spoken in earnest, electing Obama, and they were more than “ready for the ride”, they were ready to get into the action…cool…j.k. livin
- I spent my 39th birthday on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon…almost got “butted” of the edge by a ram and caught some shooting stars…as for the first sight of the GC, mother nature created something that looks so fake, its real….cool
-We decided to put a “dime of every dollar” j.k. livin brands makes into the j.k. livin foundation. We appreciate the online sales so far and know that we put a lot of time into each product choice and we believe in the message that no matter what, we gotta “just keep livin.” …Now, a piece of every purchase is helping some kids who need it, do the same…Check out jklivinstore.com for more info about the store and foundation…appreciate it…cool…j.k. givin
-Getting into some new music, best album front to back I’ve heard in a while is the new Kings of Leon, “Only by the Night”….good music….cool…j.k. listenin’
-I went to Brazil for the first time to visit my lady’s family and tour the land a bit…Found a very proud and happy culture there. We ate, we drank, we danced, and they tolerated my stumbling through the Portuguese language….I will return, beautiful country, beautiful and classy people…thanks Brazil…cool
just keep livin, mcconaughey“

who cares about him and his penelope cruz knock-off
just one word: DISGUSTING, folks!!
its true what he said about the Grand Canyon…..looks so fake, but its so real…only way to describe it
It’s like reading something a ninth grader wrote…dude.
just keep livin?? its the new slogan for livestrong? c’mon matty, ain’t a lance armstrong.
what the hell? why does he keep saying JUST KEEP LIVING? JK JK JK JK JK JK JK JK JK. lol
but, i love their family (:
oh sorry, forgot to put the L’s. lol
Aww, I like MM. If nothing else, he has great taste in music. I LOVE Kings of Leon and addicted to their CDs. America, wake up, they’re a great homegrown band!
I love him, he’s awesome and he’s living his life, enjoying travelling and exploring the world. I wish more people would be that down to earth.
And he has a lovely family too!! I find it fantastic that they are travelling with the baby.
JKL!!
he’s such a looper. His ‘lady’ is a scanger!
OH YES! I’M FROM BRAZIL AND SURELY, EVERY SINGLE THING HE HAS SAID ABOUT MY COUNTRY IS TRUE!!
=)
we love you, Matthew and Camila.. sortuda voce não? hahaa. (just a sentence in portuguese.. it means = you’re lucky dont you, Camila? haha)
Matthew is crazy…in a really good way. I think he is a complete delight.
The baby is absolutely adorable and the Lady Momma seems like a sweet, laid back beautiful woman. Good on you, Matty!
I cannot believe this man is almost 40. No wonder he dates twenty-somethings. And why didn’t he mention his little boy? At least we know what his tombstone will say: Just Keep Livin’! Annoying!
Great family! Now they just need to get married and make their relationship legit!
Matt is a drunk and a race traitor and “his lady is ugly”. If Brazil is so great why are the people there dying to get out. Stay home in America Matt and sing our praises for once in your drunken life. America the beautiful.
;matthew’s a mamjor lame.
There is no way in hell he will marry this fug woman I hope all three of them tumble backward over a cliff. Woody Harrelson is a much better actor than Matt.
Camila is absolutely gorgeous….and Matthew knows it. Those who say jealous comments about her are just that - jealous!
What a bunch of fugly and jealous women here…I bet all you fat asses are just very fricking envious. Camila is beautiful. Enough said.
This guy is so not cool. He tries so hard to be Mister King of Cool and he is just not. He has lost his appeal and I think it is because he opens his mouth too often these days and what comes out isn’t very complimentary to the English language OR the human race. YUCK!
I hope he gave, that ’stranger’ who helped him when he was desperate and trusted him completely without prejudice (as she would probably had received) a lot of money!
# 26 Agreed he is the opposite of cool.
McConaughey is a fool who can barely string a complete sentence together, by procreating with this ugly mongrelized gold-digger he has further polluted his own stupid jackass gene pool.
Why did he settle for that ugly thing I will never know. He could have done so much better.
Where are all the racists coming from? Camilla is a beautiful lady and McConaughey is lucky to have her and their son in his life. He has a family now.
Thanks for this thread on Matt and Camilla Jared. Matthew thanks for sharing, Brazil is a wonderful country and yes, a very cool place and people. Best Wishes, and many blessings, to you and your lovely family in 2009!
Hey dumb@$$ , Haven’t you heard of the violence down south ? Did you atleast offer the lady some $$? Stop acting like your some kind of god .Trump paid off someones house when his car broke down.. Now that’s generosity!!!
He’s just like every other idiot who was never interested in Kings of Leon until this year when they released Sex on Fire and every little moron suddenly claimed to be their biggest fan. Jump on any band wagon, eh Matt?
And he can’t spell- you dont get pushed ‘of’ a cliff, you get pushed ‘off’ it. What a twat. He seems pretty self obsessed, his poor girlfriend and kid get left behind while he buggers off on another bromance.
He won’t marry that ugly dark hairy poor *****. And that kid looks just like its ugly mother. Maybe its not yours Matt, ever think of that.
i find it annoying that he keeps saying “cool” at the end of everything too
Hey, ***** is not an ugly word why delete it? I only said ***** which she is S K A N K!
cute family :)
camila is not dark she is half white and spanish
Camila is UUUgly, Giselle Bündchen is Beautiful,both are from Brazil.
#no talent#
Camila is white and portuguese,not spanish.
Camila is not half spanish she is a Pardo from Brasil you obviously don’t know anything about the Pardo people of that country. She has nothing to do with Spanish anything. Brasil and the people there are not like the Spanish people people of other countries in South America. And yes, Half the people of Brasil are dark-skinned so what. They are also White in large numbers. Brasil is different and unique and Portuguese speaking so don’t lump them in with the other Spanish speaking countries. Do research and learn the facts about Brasil.
No, she’s not white & Portuguese she is a Pardo., So is model Adriana Lima. Giselle is ethnic German. Ambrosio is ethnic Italian. Please research Brasil to learn the truth about that special country.
okay so whats pardo pardo is white and portugese or latin she still has european and portugese roots
#33- I think it is cool he gave a shout out to KOL. As much as you want them to be your hidden treasure, a band needs to grow and attract new fans. They’re still not that big in the US and they want to be. Their music deserves a wider audience.
His lady is really hangin on to him and following him all over the world, putting up with living in a trailer, and hangin out on the beach. Even got knocked up to keep him around. Too bad he won’t marry her a$$!!!! She will be 30 soon, alas, too old for Matthew. He’ll find another lady friend and string her along too. Just Keep Livin!
Also that poor baby looks cold in the pic. Ever heard of a hat or blanket? Sheez.
Pardo is not white And Portuguese you fool! The Pardo people are European and African and Amerindian look it up if you don’t know what the Pardo people are.!
Well this explains why she named her handbag collection Muxo, “Goddess of the Water”, based on the entity Yemoja. She is giving the people in the West a history lesson about herself. The Pardos are a broad classification of mixed race people the Whites, Blacks & Amerindians and they constitute, according to the most recent census of 2007, roughly 52% of the population of Brazil. Why are some Americans so hung up on this sort of thing? I have been to Brazil once and the country is very different from what most people imagine.
camila dont have no damn african or black in her did you hear her say that she is from brazil and portugese where are youll getting your info from levi is white mm is white and camila is white and portugese why are you putting african or black in this she is not mixed with black
Say What, Hello whatever name you use troll doesn’t change the facts. To those of you who want to know the truth just do your research about the Pardo people of Brasil on the internet. Anyone with eyes to see can clearly see that this is a Pardo woman. Over half of the population of Brasil are racially mixed as stated above, but one thing for sure she is no damn stupid Puerto Rican like this troll.
Just researched the Pardo site about Brazil thanks for the info. Her handbags are still ugly and way too expensive though. She’s smart for hooking up with a rich white guy from the West, but I doubt if he will ever marry her even though he bankrolled her company. Smart girl.
My son has recently enrolled in a class for Capoeira, the Brazillian martial art the Afro-Brazillian people invented. That made me interested in learning more about that fascinating country. For example the great writer of Brazil, Joaquim Maria Machoado de Assis was the grandson of slaves. I agree that it is best to discover things about a place and a people via professional, educational research, not personal opinions of those who simply pull obnoxious ideas out of their heads.
#23 What the heck is wrong with you? Wishing for them to tumble off of a cliff? Why would you wish such a thing, especially on an innocent baby. You are absolutely sick and vile. Since you’re so unhappy with your own life to wish that on others, you should do the world a favor and do it yourself.
cool! now this is what i call a real fam. not a phto op next door greastest ,mom ,taking to park photo ops. matthew has always loved the outdoors, it reminds me of my fam. when we would take road trips across this beautiful country. also alot of camping. alot of celebs are so filthy rich that now that the economy is so bad they take reg. flights as oppose to private planes because it will cause a backlash. they want their fans to think that they are so down to earth so we can support their silly movies and make them richer, don’t they know that the true actors are rarely ever photographed. and that little is known about their private lives or have their kids constantly in the spotlight. so kudos to matt and his beautiful wife!
Misty is an idiot. There is no such thing as a “real” family. All families are different for a reason. There is nothing wrong with the next door greatest mom taking their child to the park and it doesn’t mean it’s a photo op. How is taking your child to the park a photo op, when all parents do that. There are many celebs that are down-to-earth and being photographed often has nothing to do with how you are as an actor. There are plenty of photos of Matt, his wife and child on many sites like x17 and Perez Hilton, so your comment makes no sense.
Oh! He made very nice comments about Brazil! That was so sweet of him.
Love ya and love what u said about my country, Mathew!
Thanks!!! We brazillians loved to see you here…in fact i did saw you at the hotel in Ipanema (next to my house)…Beautiful family!!!!
Valeu!!!!
This is stupid.
#49, u r too dumb to understand brasilian culture. Pardo people is a name they created for ppl who r mixed races. That´s all. We tend to have dark skin because, yes, we have black and african roots as well. Half of brasilian´s population is pardo. I dont know why u got so offended. Just because u think she´s ugly she cant be half black??
And for the record, there´s no such thing as being half white and half portuguese. We r not portuguese we r brasilian and being portuguese is not a race, dumbasses.
Puke #21 you have the right name.
Matthew did nothing but sing the praises of the United States of America and the Americans who live in it. ALL Americans — even those who live in South America, or fellow North Americans, Mexicans, who are a kind and giving people.
And who says people in Brazil are trying to get out?!?! It’s one of the most culturally diverse, fascinating, historically important countries on earth, and the people are very proud of it. The economy there is better than ours is doing right now, so stop grousing and put a smile on your face!
Ian #30 I agree….. I think the disgruntled and unhappy with their lives are trying to find something to point their inadequate self-loathing anger at.
This was a post of a guy who is giving to charity, enjoying the world, sharing love where he goes, and letting anyone who is interested enough to read it (and if you aren’t, go on with your sorry lives somewhere else) share the beauty and joy of travel and friendship. He has shared pictures of his loved ones and tales of good people and beautiful countries, including America, and the pride of living in a country and world with these great people.
If that kind of thing makes people want to criticize, I think they need to look at their values, and their sorry lives and try to fix what is wrong with themselves.
