Matthew McConaughey, the charismatic actor known for his roles in films like Dallas Buyers Club and The Lincoln Lawyer, has recently opened up about his personal struggles that left a void in him.

The 55-year-old star revealed that he was just 23 when his dad, James, passed away from a heart attack back in 1992 at the age of 63.

Matthew shared with Interview Magazine: "Well, when my father moved on, it was obviously hard because I didn’t even think he was killable, you know?

"Through the mourning and the pain, it’s the biggest moment of becoming a man.I remember feeling like, 'There’s a certain safety net that I’ve always had behind me that’s gone'.

"Because dads are, like, they’re above the law," The Rivals of Amziah King star continued.

However, Matthew then reflected on how losing his father made him more "courageous." He said that he started facing life's challenges head-on, something he wouldn’t have done before.
