Matthew McConaughey reveals life's unforgettable moment

Matthew McConaughey writes a book titled Poems and Prayers. In this, he pens a hilarious story that he shares on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

“I think it was my 35th birthday,” he recalls, hitting a weed, which was strong in kind, ahead of his birthday party. 

“And this was right about the time when the old Mexican dirt weed that you would just pull a toke off a joint, laugh, giggle, get the munchies, then maybe go hook up with somebody turned into a little more, ‘Oh!’ A little hydroponic. A little stronger.”

The weed was so strong, the Oscar winner recalls, he never entered the venue despite reaching there. “I take a toke, and I drive myself to my birthday. I made it to my birthday. I pulled up in front. I did not get out of the truck.”

Instead of going, Matthew remembers sitting in his car, listening to Janet Jackson's That's the Way Love Goes.

"Why, exactly? “Because I decided that what was more important than going into my birthday was to sit in my truck and listen to Janet Jackson’s ‘That’s the Way Love Goes'.

But what was funny is he played the track "34 freaking times in a row and cry. And think it was the most beautiful, wonderful song. And I missed my birthday! I finally went in, and they had all left!”

Matthew's book Poems and Prayers was released on Sept 16.
