Matthew McConaughey: I Lost My Virginity at Age 15

Matthew McConaughey talks the birds and the bees in the February issue of Playboy.

When asked when he lost his virginity, he tells the magazine, "Fifteen."

How'd it happen?

"None of your business," he says. "I don't tell bedroom tales. Never have."

He has since moved on, having dated some of his co-stars, including A Time To Kill's Sandra Bullock and Sahara's Penelope Cruz.

“A movie set is a circus, an immediate family from day one, and it’s your world for five months," he says of hooking up with his co-stars. "There’s a lot of time to get close to people. I’ve run into people I’ve respected, found attractive, been turned on by. And they were turned on by me. Relationships form.”

He is now dating model Camilla Alves.

Take note, Camilla. His biggest turn-off? “Try to change me too much and I’ll just say, ‘Shhh, nope.’”

The actor also opens up about why he is always being photographed without a shirt.

"Well, I grew up in the country and didn't wear shirts or shoes," the Texas native explains. "My mom didn't even put a bathing suit on us in the country club until we were nine."

And he says he doesn't care if anyone — including Matt Damon, who once mocked him on the Late Show With David Letterman — teases him about it.

"I don't keep up with all that... I sent [Damon] some of my T-shirts. I said, ‘Here, man. I’m not wearing them. Maybe you can use them.’”

Lastly, he says he always doesn't regret playing bongos in the buff (in 1999, he was arrested for marijuana possession after being found playing the bongos naked in his home).

“I think everybody should do it at least 100 times," he says. "I’ve done it since, too. Oh yeah, bro, I love playing drums naked. Who doesn’t like comfort and music?”

  • Man, physique aside, I am shocked at how Matthew McConaughey has gotten old and crinkley looking. I guess we are all aging but I am quite surprised. Since he is pretty vain, I wonder how that will work out for him.

  • I would say bully for Matthew McConaughey. It seems that it is news when stars reveal when they lost their virginity, but I wonder why. Well, stars seem very knowledgeable and smooth, and virgins are by definition not knowledgeable and awkward. What...
