'Action!': Inside the acting pursuit of Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson
Briefly

"My freshman year ... one of the guys at Texas, he asked what I wanted to do. I said, 'One day I want to be an actor, like after football, or even during.' He said, 'I should get you in touch with Matthew McConaughey.' I was like, 'That would be cool.'"
"As the friendship deepened, it also became a mentorship. When McConaughey realized how serious Robinson was about acting, he began offering advice about fame and life."
"By Robinson's final year at Texas in 2022, he would hang out at McConaughey's house when the actor was in Austin. They talked and texted regularly and were often seen around town together..."
"Robinson knew he wanted to give acting a shot by the time he reached the NFL. He'd already taken a class and had de facto mentors such as McConaughey, Glen Powell and Jonathan Daviss."
