Matthew McConaughey has said that he is done with romantic comedies.
He may be well-known for his leading roles in How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Failure to Launch, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and The Wedding Planner, but Matthew McConaughey has insisted that his romantic comedies days are a thing of the past.
Speaking to Shortlist magazine he said: 'It's another chapter for sure. I did have to say no to a lot of romantic comedies.'
'I think Hollywood got a little bit like, 'OK, he seriously doesn't want to do any more of these right now.'
'And however the world works, something happened and the message got out.'
McConaughey further explained that Killer Joe was the right role for him to refresh his career after he felt sick when first reading the script.
He added: 'The first time I read Killer Joe I thought, 'I don't want anything to do with this. I feel sick to my stomach and I need to take a shower.'
'I went back and read it again and suddenly it clicked. Oh, 'this is a riot man. It was exactly what it was looking for. I was like, yeah, this acting thing, it's a rodeo. All right, lets go ride the bull. Let's go shake some s**t up!'
Killer Joe is in cinemas at the end of this month.
