Oscar-winning Matthew McConaughey took a break from appearing in Lincoln ads and teaching to give students from the University of Texas a ride in a Lincoln golf cart Monday.
UT’s student government posted a photo of McConaughey giving the students a lift on their Facebook page writing “Longhorns take care of each other, and it's 'safe' to say Matthew McConaughey agrees.”
McConaughey was giving the ride as a part of the university’s SURE Walk program created to help students get home safely when walking from campus from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Comments on the The University of Texas Student Government’s post included the question on everyone’s mind: “Can visiting moms use this service lol just to run into him again?:)” It also included “All-ride, All-ride, All-ride!” a play on McConaughey’s constantly quoted Dazed and Confused line “Alright, alright, alright.” In a comment on the post one of the student’s pictured in the photo posted a photo with McConaughey.
It’s not the first time McConaughey’s made news at his alma mater. (McConaughey graduated in 1993.) In September he gave UT’s Texas Longhorns a pep talk when the team played Notre Damem, and he is currently teaching a film class at UT’s Moody College of Communication.
Audiences will see McConaughey this year in True Detective 3The Dark Tower, adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name, opposite Idris Elba. And if you have no interest in the sci-fi epic, you’re bound to see one of McConaughey’s bourbon ads.
