McConaughey needed convincing for marriage
Matthew McConaughey needed some convincing before he got to the point where he really wanted to get married.
The Oscar-winner and father-of-three opened up to GQ about his 2012 marriage to Camila Alves, saying he didn't just want to tie the knot because it was "the thing to do".
"I wanted to really want to. You know, I didn't want it to be a destination; the fun is that we're on the adventure together," the actor said in the magazine's November cover story.
The 44-year-old says that he and Alves did a lot of reading, chatting to friends (both married and divorced), and spoke to their pastor.
"In the end, our understanding was, 'Let's go make a covenant, with you, me, and God,'" he says.
Although, McConaughey admits Alves apply a little pressure on him.
"Look, some of it had to do with her putting it on me," he says.
"It took her going, 'C'mon, Big Boy, Mr easygoing-we'll-get-to-it-when-we-get-to-it. Either s*** or get off the pot," he told the gloss men's magazine.
McConaughey's new movie Interstellar, opens on November 6.
