See Matthew McConaughey Act Out the Entire Range of Emotions You’ll Feel While Watching the Olympic Games
When it comes to the 2016 Rio Olympics, the event’s sidelines have proven to be almost as eventful as the actual sports showcased, quickly becoming an unofficial event in and of itself. From Michael Phelps’ epic mad face, to Aly Raisman’s parents, who pulled some hilarious chair moves while watching their daughter compete, it’s been a pretty wild ride so far.
Now, there’s another famous face drawing our attention away from the athletes and into the stands: Matthew McConaughey.
