After earning critical acclaim for roles in <em>True Detective <\/em>and<em> The Dallas Buyers Club<\/em>, McConaughey reflected on making the move to Texas \u2014 and taking a break from starring in rom-com movies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was rolling in the rom-coms, and I was the rom-com dude \u2026 that was my lane and I liked that lane, that lane paid well, and it was working,\u201d he said on the \u201cGood Trouble With Nick Kyrgios\u201d podcast in November 2024. \u201cI was so strong in that lane that anything outside of that lane, dramas and stuff that I wanted to do, [they] were like, no, no, no, no, no.

And when you got someone who\u2019s not bluffing, there\u2019s something attractive about that. I think that\u2019s what made Hollywood go, \u2018You know what, he\u2019s now a new novel idea.
