Matthew McConaughey Quote or Famous Line of Poetry: Can You Tell the Difference?
In this month's Elle UK, Anne Hathaway basically says what everyone was thinking about Matthew McConaughey: He expresses himself through poetry. When asked about her Interstellar costar McConaughey, Hathaway told the publication: "The man speaks in poetry." Next time you read an interview with him, just imagine he's delivering the syllables in a jazzlike meter.
It's no news that McConaissance Matt is an endlessly quotable individual. But "speaks in poetry" sounds like a bit of a stretch. Or does it? Can you tell the McConaughey quote from a line of famous poetry? Feel free to turn this into a parlor game.
