Matthew McConaughey Explains What Sparked Estrangement From His Mum

Matthew McConaughey and his mum KayMatthew McConaughey is reflecting on a difficult chapter in his life involving his mother, Kay. The Oscar-winning actor told People magazine that he didn’t speak with his mum for nearly a decade, after she started sharing a bit too much with the press. “We had about an eight-year period where I had to have short conversations with her on our Sunday phone calls because she was sharing a lot of that information,” the True Detective actor said in an article published last week.“I’d tell her something on Sunday between son and mum, and Tuesday I’d read about it in the news or see it in the local paper. She couldn’t help herself,” he added. “We were on a hiatus,” Kay said, as Matthew smiled and shared that the two “had some boring conversations on Sunday”.“I wouldn’t tell you shit,” he quipped. Matthew McConaughey, his mom, and his son, Levi Alves McConaughey, pictured together last month“I took people through the house and said, ‘Well, this is where Matthew slept,’” Kay told the outlet. “Someone called him and said, ‘Are you watching what your mama’s doing?’ But I was so proud that I was just telling the world.” Although it took some time, the actor said he eventually “got stable enough with my own position and fame that I was like, ‘you know what? My mum can say whatever the hell she wants’,” the actor shared. Matthew said the two then started to “go to red carpets”, and his mum would ask him if there were “any rules” to what she could say. “I was like ‘No rules at all. Tell all the raunchiest things you want.’ And she did and it was fine. It’s much more fun now,” he added. Matthew has opened up about the pair’s strained relationship before, during an interview with Howard Stern. “I was calling my mum at that time, after I’d gotten famous, needing to talk to my mum,” Matthew said during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show back in 2020. “And my mum was not the only one on the phone. The woman that was on the phone was a fan – of my fame.” The actor said it was “a sad time” for him, but the two were able to repair things. “There’s always forgiveness. I just tried to bide my time,” he added.READ MORE:Matthew McConaughey Downplays His Mum's Troubling 'Initiations' For Wife CamilaMatthew McConaughey Shares Wince-Inducing Close-Up Of Bee-Stung FaceKate Hudson Says She Could Smell Matthew McConaughey On Set
