Matthew McConaughey said that faith was part of his routine in childhood but ended up being left aside when he entered college and started his career in Hollywood.
According to the actor, professional success and ambition replaced, for a time, the space that faith occupied in his life.
But his return, according to McConaughey, began with the birth of his first child in 2007; it was then that he said he realized: âI need to go back to church.â
Fatherhood, he stated, forced him to face questions of responsibility, legacy, and dependence on God.
Furthermore, McConaughey emphasized the influence of his wife, Camila Alves, who is a devout Catholic.
