Matthew McConaughey doesn’t like to wear shirts; lost his virginity at 15
It turns out Matthew McConaughey may well be more of a gentleman than I’d thought. Not that I ever thought him a pig – though the naked bongo drum playing while high thing did kind of weird me out. Though it was kind of charming in its own, off-beat way. Which is a good way to describe McConaughey. He’s nice to look at, but whenever you read an interview with him, you tend to notice that he has an unusual, laid-back sort of charm. But when Playboy chatted him up about the loss of his virginity, I assumed he’d kiss and tell – it seems like most people do.

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.”

Matthew seems very nice and sweet, but somehow I thought that I guy that would be into naked drumming wouldn’t place such a high premium on not telling “bedroom tales.” It’s refreshing. Matthew’s been dating model Camilla Alves, but says he’s hooked up with a co-star or two along the way. He’s been linked to Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock, amongst others.

“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.”

So he’s also not suffering from a lack of a bit of ego. But it all seems to work for him. Matthew credits his laid-back attitude to his Texan upbringing, noting that he never wore shirts or shoes. I wonder if he had a lot of trouble getting service. His mother didn’t even make him wear a bathing suit at the country club’s swimming pool until he was nine. It seems like naked is just his natural state. Which is probably one of the factors that led to the naked bongo incident.

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?”

I’m a little unclear as to whether it’s the nudity or the pot that provides the aforementioned comfort. But I’m guessing that if you stop by Matthew McConaughey’s house on any given day, there’s a 70/30 chance you’ll find him naked. Probably 60/40 that he’ll be playing the drums.
