Matthew McConaughey, well-known actor and now writer, took proactive measures to ensure the safety of his followers. Recently, he obtained a restraining order against an obsessive woman who had been harassing him for years. This order allowed the police to intervene when the woman appeared at a promotional event for her new book.
According to sources close to the actor, the woman in question attended the event last weekend, where McConaughey was presenting his literary work. The response was quick and effective, as police met her, served her with the restraining order, and escorted her off the property without incident.
McConaughey was fully aware of the risks what this woman’s presence could represent, especially to her fans, including young children. For this reason, she decided to take legal measures before the event to ensure everyone’s safety.
This woman has been a constant source of concern for McConaughey, sending him strange emails, disturbing letters, and filing frivolous lawsuits. Despite trying to ignore her, the situation became critical when she announced her intention to attend the event to promote her new book.
Although McConaughey moved from Hollywood to Austin, Texas, to provide his children with a more normal life away from paparazzi harassment, continues to be well received in Los Angeles. In this place, he fulfilled his dream of winning an Oscar and has a star on the Walk of Fame.
On Saturday, September 17, his followers had the opportunity to meet the actor debuting his role as a writer on two occasions. In the morning, they lined up early at a famous bookstore to get a photo with his idol. In the afternoon, he was applauded in a theater during a formal presentation of his book “Just Because,” invited by Live Talks. The talk was moderated by Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt journalist’s daughter Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The book, intended for children between 4 and 8 years old, is written in rhymed verses, inspired by a melody that the author claims to have heard in a dream. These couplets convey universal principles, emphasizing that nothing is absolute and that we can live in harmony with our contradictions. One literary critic praised the work as proof that everyone contains multiple facets.
Matthew McConaughey has experienced a life full of contrasts, from being a leading man in romantic comedies to winning an Oscar for a drama. In his youth, he experienced peculiar moments, such as being arrested for playing bongos naked or confronting a puma after consuming peyote. Currently, he enjoys a calmer and happier life with his wife, the Brazilian model Camila Alves.
Matthew McConaughey’s first book
At the beginning of September, the Dallas Buyes Club actor published his first book composed of several stories with inspiring morals, which has been illustrated by Rennée Kurilla. About this book and the reception it has had among his closest critics, his three children, the actor has said: “They (my three children) love the book,” the actor shared with the New York Times. “My daughter is very visual. My oldest son really gets it and thinks he’s really cool. “My youngest son still doesn’t tell me what he likes,” he continued. “He sits down a little more and he tells me later.”
In his memoir, “Greenlights,” McConaughey shares his perspective on life as a journey and the importance not to let yourself be labeled by others. He has applied many of these lessons to his role as father to Levi (15), Vida (13), and Livingston (10). The eldest of his children is already present on social networks, with almost 300 thousand followers on Instagram, under the guidance of his parents to avoid problems such as bullying and encourage responsibility in their publications.
