Matthew McConaughey Remembers Seeing His First Magazine Cover

Of all the people who dream of working with Matthew McConaughey, “White Boy Rick” cast Richie Merritt, a teenager who was oblivious to the actor’s fame. Jonathan Majors, Merritt, and McConaughey sat down with SiriusXM host Jess Cagle to promote the new crime drama and discuss the artistry of acting.

McConaughey gave advice to first-time actor Merritt on handling fame and choosing future projects, and with that advice, reflected on his own career trajectory and remembered the first time he saw himself on a magazine cover.
