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.
UTâs student government posted a photo of McConaughey giving the students a lift on their Facebook page writing âLonghorns take care of each other, and it's 'safe' to say Matthew McConaughey agrees.â
McConaughey was giving the ride as a part of the universityâs 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 Governmentâs post included the question on everyoneâs mind: âCan visiting moms use this service lol just to run into him again?:)â It also included âAll-ride, All-ride, All-ride!â a play on McConaugheyâs constantly quoted Dazed and Confused line âAlright, alright, alright.â In a comment on the post one of the studentâs pictured in the photo posted a photo with McConaughey.
Itâs not the first time McConaugheyâs made news at his alma mater. (McConaughey graduated in 1993.) In September he gave UTâs Texas Longhorns a pep talk when the team played Notre Damem, and he is currently teaching a film class at UTâs Moody College of Communication. Â
Audiences will see McConaughey this year in True Detective 3The Dark Tower, adapted from Stephen Kingâs novel of the same name, opposite Idris Elba. And if you have no interest in the sci-fi epic, youâre bound to see one of McConaugheyâs bourbon ads. Â Â
