  • Emily Blunt, Camila Alves Become U.S. Citizens, Jimmy Kimmel Tests Blunt

    Emily Blunt and Camila Alves became U.S. citizens in August, and while a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, Blunt recalled the momentous day.

    “I hope you know how thrilled I am that you are one of us now,” Kimmel told the Into the Woods star.

    “Really?” Blunt asked. “Did you not like that I wasn’t before?”

    “There was a wedge between us, I felt like, yes,” Kimmel said. “We always get the sense that when people come here from England they kind of look down their noses at us.”

    “Oh, we do! Yeah! Very much. Because we’re better than them. But now I’m only half better,” Emily Blunt replied.

    Blunt dished about standing next to Matthew McConaughey’s wife, Camila Alves, as she became a U.S. citizen at the same time. She says McConaughey showed up dressed like he was headed out on safari.

    “You could have worn a shirt and tie,” Emily Blunt told the actor, adding, “Like, Camila looks amazing!’”

    She told Jimmy Kimmel that all her husband, John Krasinski was thinking the whole time was Matthew McConaughey’s film line, ” “All right, all right, all right.”

    “That’s all he was thinking about the whole time,” she said, adding that Krasinski had all he could do to prevent himself from saying the line.

    Emily Blunt said the hardest part of becoming a U.S. citizen was denouncing Queen Elizabeth.

    “It wasn’t specifically Queen E, but she knows,” Blunt joked, adding “The thing that’s weird is I do get to keep both my British citizenship and this, but you have to renounce her. So, it’s kind of typically American—not to be rude—but I had to renounce her in the room but I don’t actually, technically renounce her. They’re like, ‘Just say it. You don’t have to mean it, but just say it.’”

    Blunt shared that some of the questions she had to answer were a bit absurd.

    “They asked me things like, ‘Are you a habitual drunkard?’ And I said, ‘Well, I was last night,’” she said, adding that her lawyer wasn’t amused by her jokes. “‘Have I ever been a prostitute?’ was another question. I said, ‘Well, I was.’”

    Jimmy Kimmel then gave Emily Blunt his own set of questions toanswer in order to become a true American citizen.

    “This will determine if you are indeed an American citizen,” he said.

    Kimmel proceeds to ask the following three questions.

    1. What are the giant refillable sodas at 7-Eleven called?

    2. What does MLB stand for?

    3. What does DQ stand for?

    Check out Emily Blunt’s answers in the clip below.

    Congratulations to both Emily Blunt and Camila Alves for becoming U.S. citizens. Do you suppose someone is quizzing Camila the same way Jimmy Kimmel quizzed Emily Blunt?

  • Matthew McConaughey’s Beautiful Wife, Camila Alves, Is Now A U.S. Citizen

    Matthew McConaughey’s wife, Camila Alves, officially became a citizen of the United States on Tuesday.

    In typical loving husband fashion, Matthew offered some adorable words about his American wife’s big day.

    “Congratulations Camila on getting your U.S. citizenship today,” Matthew McConaughey, 45, tweeted, alongside a snap of the couple with their kids Levi, seven, Vida, five, and Livingston, two, at the naturalization ceremony.”Another fellow and great American.”

    The Brazilian native also shared her joy on social media.

    “Happy to say I now hold an American passport! I have so much respect and appreciation for this country,” she wrote. “#newuscitizen.”

    The 33-year-old model married Matthew McConaughey in June 2012, but it took some convincing to get her man down the aisle.

    “I had to get to the point where I saw it as more than just the thing to do,” McConaughey told GQ magazine last year. “I wanted to really want to. You know, I didn’t want it to be a destination; the fun is that we’re on the adventure together. And look, some of it had to do with her putting it on me. It took her going, ‘C’mon, Big Boy, Mr. Easy-going-We’ll-Get-to-It-When-We-Get-to-It. Either s–t or get off the pot.’”

    Although Camila is now a U.S. citizen, she told Us Weekly that she tries to visit her homeland at least once a year.

    “My mom has 10 uncles on one side, 13 on the other side, and a ton of cousins,” the model said. “We do Christmas, that for us is really big deal. We do all the cooking, the whole family comes and we don’t open gifts until midnight on the 24th, so my kids love it. They love the Brazil Christmas because they get to stay up until midnight! And they love the family there. I bring the kids and Matthew there and we have so much fun.”

  • Matthew McConaughey Makes a Big Switch-Up

    Matthew McConaughey Makes a Big Switch-Up

    Matthew McConaughey has reinvented himself in the past few years. For years his filmography seemed to revolve around romantic comedy material. His natural good looks and appeal to women, to say nothing of his instantly-recognizable voice, made him an appeal for the rom-com audience.

    But he was being typecast, and Matthew McConaughey knew he had to change something. If you build a career with your looks as a total focus, what happens when you get older? What happens when you get a reputation as a married father? It’s not to say that older guys and dads can’t be in rom-coms — look at Sleepless in Seattle for the dad angle, and As Good As It Gets for the older guy — but to build a career on it almost exclusively is a gamble.

    So Matthew McConaughey changed things up. He has since won accolades for Dallas Buyers Club, which was a real departure from his previous image. His role in True Detective also ran up hard against his nice guy image and took him into a darker territory.

    But Matthew McConaughey made another big change-up a few years back. His image that helped him land rom-com roles also had him in relationships with such Hollywood names as Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Renee Zellweger, Patricia Arquette, Penelope Cruz.

    In a new biography about Matthew McConaughey, author Neil Daniels tells about the woman who put a ring on McConaughey.

    Matthew McConaughey: A Biography tells the story of the day the star was in the Hyde Lounge club on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood with buddy Lance Armstrong. He was known for being with Penelope Cruz, but saw Brazilian model Camila Alves walk in.

    “The first time I saw her walk across the room,” McConaughey related, “I didn’t say, ‘Who is that?’ I said, ‘What is that?’

    “The way she moved, I could see a person who knows who they are. There’s a person who spends time with herself, and is not advertising for this world, and is not asking permission. From that night I haven’t been on a date with anyone else”

    Neil Daniels’ new book tells tales about McConaughey’s love life, his arrests, and his ambitions as a father. McConaughey explains that he is more sure of being a dad even than of being an actor.

    “When I was 20 years old, McConaughey said, “I didn’t know what I wanted for a career. But I knew I wanted to be a father. It had been the thing that, since I was very young, I looked up to. The men I looked up to the most were fathers – men who raised good kids.”

  • Camila Alves And Matthew McConaughey Want Another Baby

    Matthew McConaughey had some big plans for him and his wife Camila Alves Sunday night after he won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his amazing performance in Dallas Buyers Club.

    There were many after parties going on after the 86th annual Academy Awards; however McConaughey said that he and Alves wouldn’t be staying long. “We won’t stay at the after-party long – I want to go home and make another baby!” he reportedly said, during an interview. Apparently, Mathew has the baby fever!

    Matthew and Camila already have three children: Levi, 5, Livingston, 14 months, and Vida, 4. But that does not mean that he doesn’t want more.

    While accepting his award, McConaughey took the opportunity to thank, not only his wife and children, but his mother and father as well. “To my wife Camila and my kids, the courage and significance you give me every day I go out the door is unparalleled,” he said. “You are the four people in my life that I want to make the most proud of me. Thank you.”

    Matthew’s father James passed away in 1992, and was not able to see Matthew accept his award. However, that did not stop McConaughey from paying tribute to him. “To my father who I know is up there right now with a big pot of gumbo, he has a big lemon meringue pie,” he said. “He’s probably in his underwear and has a big can of Miller Lite and he’s dancing right now. To you dad, you taught me how to be a man.”

    Matthew’s mother, however, was able to attend, and was seen sitting in the audience. He made sure not to leave her out of his speech. “To my mother (Mary), who’s here tonight, who taught me and my two elder brothers – demanded – that we respect ourselves,” he said. “And in turn we were able to learn how to respect others. Thank you for that mama.”

  • Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey’s Queen

    Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey’s Queen

    Last night Matthew McConaughey brought his Texas charm to the Golden Globes stage when he accepted the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.

    The Dallas Buyers Club actor lost 40 pounds to play Ron Woodruff in the film. However, he said that he couldn’t have done it all himself.

    “[I want to thank] my wife, Camila, who’s not only put up with me all this time, but, I mean, kicked my ass out the door, saying, ‘Go get it, go get it, go get it, McConaughey, my man, my king,’” he said as the camera panned to a smiling and blushing Alves. “Kids: Levi, Vida, Mr. Stone [son Livingston]. Love you all!”

    McConaughey and Brazilian model Camila Alves have been married since June 2012 and have three children together.

    According to US Magazine, the 44-year old actor also expressed the same sentiment when he accepted the 2014 Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala.

    “I’d like to thank my own family, who was incredibly encouraging at 5 a.m. out the door in the morning in the dark. And you were incredibly encouraging coming home at 8 p.m. each night,” he said. “I know I wasn’t that easy to live with at that time. You never let me know that, I appreciate it.”

    Last night, McConaughey also thanked his mother, a former Kindergarten teacher and published author.

    “A time like this makes me want to say thank you to my mother for a real reason,” he said. “When we were growing up, we weren’t movie kids, we weren’t TV kids. If it was daylight you had to be outside playing. ‘We’d go, ‘Why mom, why can’t I just watch 30 minutes of TV?’ She goes, ‘Don’t watch somebody on TV do it for you, get out there and do it for yourself. Now, this many years later, that’s a pretty good recipe for an actor, to go be the subject of whatever you’re doing, so thank you, mom, for that.”

    McConaughey’s costar in Dallas Buyers Club, Jared Leto, also took home an award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.

  • Matthew McConaughey Talks Film and Fashion

    Matthew McConaughey is a man of intense and very unique style–and he claims he chooses most of his apparel himself. He does, however, admit that he picks out clothing items he knows wife Camila Alves will approve of. He’s been spotted recently wearing some very unique style options, but that just sort of goes along with the Dallas Buyers Club star’s personality.

    McConaughey received an award this past Saturday at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala. Bestowed with the Desert Palm Achievement Award, he dressed the part fans were hoping to see.

    Wearing a Saint Laurent gold suit jacket, a white shirt and bow tie, he was a sight to behold, alongside his beautiful wife.

    “I picked this one out,” Matthew said to reporters about his stylish ensemble. “I have no idea [what I’ll wear to the Golden Globes]. I’ll choose it though.”

    He joked about always picking out his own attire, admitting however that she is a definite influence over his choices.

    “Who doesn’t want to look nice?” he laughed.

    Matthew McConaughey presently stars in The Wolf of Wall Street with Leonardo DiCaprio. As you can see in the following clip, he is definitely a smartly dressed man in this film, too.

    McConaughey is as particular about choosing his films as he is his wardrobe these days, too. And why shouldn’t he be? He’s a sought-after actor with loads of first rate films to his name.

    “It’s fun to go into the unknown,” he said. “We all grow there … Think about it in everyday life. Now, it’s a luxury I can do that. My rent’s paid, you know what I mean? So I have the luxury of going, ‘I don’t have to work right now.’ Not everyone has that luxury. Or I have the luxury of saying, ‘Wait a minute, I’m going to go do this other one, it pays a whole lot less, but I can own this in a particular way.’ I’m enjoying it.”

    Like the gold blazer, Matthew McConaughey has a gold standard in his work ethic–and it shows. It will be fun to see exactly what he chooses for 2014–for both films and style options.
