Matthew McConaughey admits he made a woman cry after threatening her with a spoon

American actor Matthew McConaughey is taking a trip down memorylane while discussing his role in the film Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

The Interstellar actor said in a video posted to his YouTube channel, that he was initially supposed to have a small role in the 1997-released film.

Upon hearing that director Kim Henkel was looking for an actor to play Vilmer, McConaughey requested if he could audition for the part.

"I said, 'I should try out for that role,'" he said, after which the office secretary agreed to read the scene with him for his audition.

"I ran to the kitchen that was in this house where the office was, grabbed a big tablespoon out of the drawer, came back in, and just pinned her in a corner and acted like it was a weapon and did it until she, like, cried,” he said.

"Kim was like, 'That was good,' and then the girl was like, 'Yeah, that was really good. You really scared me.'"

The actor earned the part then and there, making it one of his most bizarre roles he ever played.
