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“

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.
