Hollywood Deep

McConaughey on set, producing a scene from his new movie.

Matthew McConaughey is notorious in Hollywood for taking his shirt off every chance he gets. I guess he thinks he has a good body or something, and wants to show it off. I know how he feels, I ‘ve been working out real hard lately at Barney’s Beanery, my favorite bar. I have really been pumping that beer elbow, it is so buff. I’ve been pulling up my sleeve and showing it around with pride.
Recently, what seems like thousands of topless photos of Matt running around Malibu, have come out. He’s working on his new movie SURFER DUDE, and it’s like they have allowed everybody and their mother to take photos of him on the set. Reports on media outlets the last few days say that he now wants female extras working on the movie to go topless also. They are saying that during a recent pool party scene that featured a bunch of female extras in bathing suits, McConaughey, who is also a producer on the movie, told the ladies if they took their tops off they would get more money for their time.
I’m not sure that is a hundred percent true. I know a few people working on the movie, and they say during that scene a certain group of ladies where hired to specifically take their tops off and were paid a higher rate for that. Other ladies were hired to just wear bikinis. When the bikini girls saw the others taking their tops off they took their tops off also. In my experience extras on a movie will do just about anything to get a bump on their vouchers (more money). I’ve been told that these bikini girls whipped off their tops and tried to collect the additional money after the fact, and not all of them got it. I saw a quote from McConaughey’s reps that leads me to believe that I’m right, and some of those girls didn’t get paid for the toplessness.
“You should check with the Screen Actors Guild as they determine the pay scale and not Matthew McConaughey.”
Ha! Well first of all SAG does not have a set rate for nudity, it is negotiable between the the talent and the Producers of the show. Sounds like Matt got some free boobs. Go Matt go, nice gig! Welcome to show biz gals.
Actually I know some people who live down the block from him in Malibu, and say he’s a great guy. They also really like his new girlfriend Brazilian model, Camila Alves.
He must of just got caught up in a Hollywood moment.
