Matthew McConaughey rebuilds himself yet again, reunites with Anne Hathaway for 2019 neo-noir thriller 'Serenity'

Matthew McConaughey went from being a rom-com heartthrob to an Oscar-winning actor to voicing cartoons. So where will we see him next?

If you don't know it yet, Matthew McConaughey is always about rebuilding himself. 

The Texas-born actor was quick to rise as the leading man in romantic films soon after he dropped out of law college to pursue a degree in film production in 1993. Not long after his switch, McConaughey started out with commercials and got a big break with high-school comedy 'Dazed and Confused,' in 1993, which secured him supporting roles in many films after that. Then he moved on to play leading roles in films like 'A Time to Kill,'  and 'The Newton Boys' and before anyone knew it, he had become a household name when it came to naming actors with that suave Southern charm. But as soon he hit the high, his dismissal came even sooner when his EDtv comedy was overshadowed by Jim Carrey's 'The Truman Show.'
