Matthew McConaughey Talks Travel and 'Lincoln Lawyer'
Actor Matthew McConaughey stopped to chat with "Extra's" Mario Lopez on the Oscars red carpet about his Men's Fitness magazine cover -- and his upcoming legal drama, "Lincoln Lawyer."
The hunky actor said his interview with Men's Fitness focused on how he works out when he travels. "I do a lot of traveling, whether with the family or on my own. If you don't have a gym, you customize your workout to the location you're in, using what's around you," adding, "I'm not working out every day. I'm not getting up at 4:00 AM, so I'll get in shape before a film."
Speaking of film, McConaughey is starring "Lincoln Lawyer," about an attorney who practiced law from the backseat of his Lincoln Continental, representing a slick Beverly Hills client. "It's a legal thriller," explained the actor. "It has a really strong cast; William H Macy, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe. It's the first time I've been in the courtroom since 'A Time to Kill.' It's good to be an attorney again."
"Lincoln Lawyer" opens its practice March 18.
