Matthew McConaughey says he was ‘blackmailed’ into sex as a teen
Matthew McConaughey is opening up about his experience with sexual abuse.
In his memoir “Greenlights,” which was released Tuesday, the Oscar winner notes that he was sexually abused as a teen, Variety reports.
“I was blackmailed into having sex for the first time when I was 15,” the “Dallas Buyers Club” star, 50, wrote. “I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex. Today, I am merely certain that I hope that’s not the case.”
The “Interstellar” star also reveals that at age 18, he was “molested by a man ... while knocked unconscious in the back of a van."
McConaughey writes in the book that he’s “never felt like a victim,” adding, “I have a lot of proof that the world is conspiring to make me happy," according to Variety.
Other aspects of the “Dazed and Confused” actor’s life discussed in the book include the relationship between his folks and his own marriage to Camila Alves.
