Why Matthew McConaughey Will Never Be His Hero

Matthew McConaughey - Be Your Hero

Transcript:

"Now when I was 15 years old I had a very important person in my life come to me and say, "Who's your hero?"

And I said "I don't know I got to think about that. Give me a couple of weeks." I come back two weeks later, this person comes up and says, "Who's your hero?" I said, "I thought about it. You know who it is?" I said, "It's me in 10 years."

So I turned 25 ten years later. That same person comes to me and goes, "So are you a hero?" I was like, "Not even close. No, no, no".

She said, "Why?"

I said, "Because my hero's me at 35."

So you see every day, every week, every month, and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. I'm never going to be my hero. I'm not going to attain that. I know I'm not and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.

So to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we're chasing: To that I say, "Amen." To that I say, "Alright, alright, alright." To that I say, "Just keep living."

Thank you."

Snoop Dogg is an icon of positivity and peace, but that wasn't always the case. After the "Drop It Like It's Hot" gangster rapper faced felony charges and 3-year prison sentence he decided to make a change. Slowly but surely, Snoop Dogg traded in the "guns, drugs, and thugs" lifestyle for cannabis and a lucrative business partnership with Martha Stewart. But decades later it seems his past is coming back to haunt him. In a shocking interview, Jada Pinkett-Smith confronts Snoop about Tupac’s tragic death. She asks the questions no one dared ask: Why did Snoop and Tupac have a falling out? Did Snoop betray Tupac to save himself?
