Added DiffLines:

* TheCharmer: His characters tend to be ''extremely'' charismatic and near impossible not to like.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodOlBoy: He's from Texas and plays these kind of roles quite a bit.
* MrFanservice: In all his roles. Even when he isn't getting one of his famous shirtless scenes, his good looks are still very prominent.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Tends to keep his famous Texas accent in every role, to the point that it's pretty much impossible to imagine him without it.

And then he accepted the titular role in William Friedkin's [[{{Understatement}} black comedy]], ''Film/KillerJoe''. The character was a role that was so against the type he normally played that everyone started taking interest in [=McConaughey=]. What started out as a shocking example of SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct turned into one hell of a CareerResurrection (styled as the "[=McConnaissance=]") which contained movies such as ''Film/MagicMike'' and ''Film/DallasBuyersClub'' (for which he won the Best Actor UsefulNotes/AcademyAward) and the Creator/{{HBO}} anthology drama ''Series/TrueDetective''.
