A viral clip of Matthew McConaughey's awkward interview moment with Australian journalist Matt Galea has resurfaced, shedding light on the actor's preference for his full name. During their 2021 interview for 'Sing 2,' Galea mistakenly addressed him as 'Matt,' prompting McConaughey to assertively correct him. In past interviews, McConaughey has shared that his mother insisted on the name 'Matthew,' emphasizing its importance. Despite the awkward moment, Galea noted that the rest of the interview proceeded smoothly, showcasing McConaughey’s assertiveness without rudeness.
"My mum was mad when I was called Matt... she told me 'Don't you ever answer to Matt again, I named you Matthew from the bible.'"
"McConaughey was simply being assertive, but was never rude and the rest of the interview went 'very smoothly.'"
