Now you may call him 'Professor McConaughey'!

For a lot of girls, this is a dream come true as the 56-year-old actor has started his own class at the University of Texas. The Hollywood actor has traded the red carpet for a lecture hall and for many this might be a chance to learn cinema from one of its most ardent and successful lovers. Know more below!While one would imagine him probably teaching potions at Hogwarts with his hair swinging back as he struts down the halls, it seems cinema is more of his thing. Matthew McCanoughey has joined the University of Texas at Austin's Moody College of Communication. His course titled 'Script to Screen: Commercials' takes students behind the scenes of commercial ad campaigns from storyboards to final cuts. For communication majors, this is a front-row seat at comprehending the process of filmmaking through the lens of one of the masters of the art. As an actor, McConaughey is known for tweaking scripts and scenes and his acting has been the most fruitful addition to the movies he has participated in. For the actor, who was last seen in the 2025 movie 'The Lost Bus', teaching has been a path he has been carving out for himself for a while now. He began the journey as a visiting professor in 2015, returning to his alma mater where he earned a film degree. By 2019, he was officially a professor of practice in the Department of Radio-Television-Film, co-creating the curriculum with fellow film expert Scott Rice. However, this career turn is one that many didn't predict, except the actor himself. McConaughey has had quite a journey from rom-com hero to complex character arcs. He has famously dubbed his career revival as the "McConaissance" which reflects this successful rebranding that has earned him Academy approval. From switching roles in Rue Detective Season 1, to not rehearsing his famous scene in Interstellar, his decisions have proven him right at every turn. Thus, him guiding students of communication and cinema will bridge the gap between theory and practice. As a legend of this time, he is training the cinematics of the next.
