i'm matthew mcconaughey hi i'm anne
hathaway and you're about to hear how we
did not
meet that's not how we met
it's definitely not that's not how we
met i knew who anna hathaway was before
we met oh yes i've known who matthew
mcconaughey was for a very long time the
last time i'd seen you was on the red
carpet of the critics choice awards and
you had just finished dallas buyers club
because
matthew mcconaughey is about time you
knew i'm a big fan do you remember how
you guys met
um
[Music]
not really he blew my mind the first
time i met him because we were just
there testing the camera stuff here's
the costume and i do a circle and then
here's the profile and here's the
profile pretty sure it was on the set of
interstellar probably in a spaceship
matthew gets on set
and he gets down on the floor
and he turns away from camera and they
yell action
and he comes up and he's in a different
atmosphere than everybody else and he's
walking and no one knows
what he's doing
but i'm going
oh my gosh he's taking advantage of
every second he has to get to know this
character i've said i believe it was
probably on a spaceship
of sorts uh we met during the costume
test for interstellar on the spaceship
there was no spaceship yet but there was
one in your mind i watched you walk
around it
i was very impressed because i thought
you were like you were finding your man
man i might have been i might have just
been trying to see how much i could move
in that damn spacesuit that's the first
time we talked and connected to each
other the scene in interstellar when i
take us to the water planet we had to
find together in real time it was a
scene full of a lot of anger a lot of
rage i remember looking up and finding
his eyes and him finding mine
and we didn't say it but the vibe was
that was cool like i don't remember a
moment
dazed and confused was really big uh
kind of amongst my my friends and then a
time to kill came out i really loved him
in that movie i remember him from
contact when you first found out who she
was maybe the first movie you saw that
she was in i don't remember what that
was and then i really feel like i got to
know
the matthew that i now know when i saw
magic mike
this is such an interrogation i get
older and they stay the same age like i
remember that and going huh my friends
and i were very entertained and confused
and i remember being confused by your
mustache
yes that was confusing last time
tell her until i know where it wasn't
when my doorbell rung at about 6 00 p.m
november the 5th
don't make me relive it matthew and
camilla threw a party
and i got the date wrong my birthday is
november the 4th they know showed that
night
but 6 p.m the next day
you're heading out of town she was 363
days early and i show up and there's no
one there and i'm go oh women are we
early like that's weird happy birthday
and i went
thank you
it was yesterday party was last night
and i of course
you know it's like you want to faint you
were so gracious my birthday party's not
over yet so come on in let's open that
bottle and we continue to uh party well
until november the 6th it turned into a
nine hour hang there was a birthday
party
we went to a birthday party no it i just
did that to make feel better there
wasn't really a birthday party there was
i feel like fire ants are biting
my digestive tract right now it turned
into it it turned into i mean we made
that eliminated like that
the longer we know each other the more
kind of adventures we had to go on
together we stayed in contact
between interstellar and um
serenity i was so excited when i read
the script
because they were asking me to be a part
of it yeah but i was also like ah
matthew's just gonna be so good in this
we went to her for the role of karen and
when she said yes i was very excited
because i was excited to work with her
again i loved my character but a huge
part of why i said yes was just to get
to go work with matthew again what we
did is we gradually got to know each
other through through the work we
started spending time together he's
charming he's gregarious so i got to see
how she worked i got to see how much
professional
as she is how prepared she was when she
showed up to set i guess one of my
favorite things about matthew is how
intentionally he's living his life she
was very supportive from the very
beginning and i hope i was to her
kindness he's generous
he's professional he's profound he's
poetic and we had some more of those
good late weekend nights that even they
were fun but they weren't my birthday or
the day after my birthday i'm really
happy that um that we've got a good
thing going i don't remember the first
roll that i saw her in he that's what
you
that's what i said he was so happy i
just said it again
see you do remember so many more things
good things you're a significant
presence in my life
it's okay that i'm not in yours it's
fine
i knew all of this deep down it's just
nice to have it out on the table
