Matthew McConaughey Revealed His Dad Taught Him Valuable Lessons Growing Up

Matthew McConaughey learned some strong lessons from his dad, and one of them was about consent. Speaking alongside People, McConaughey revealed his dad was right to bring up the conversation.

"[My father is] talking to me as his son, as a male in this situation and speaking to me about a heterosexual relationship. He says, 'If you ever feel the girl the female hesitate, stop.' "

"He even said this: 'You may even feel them hesitate and then after you stop, then they go, 'Oh no, no, c'mon,' Don't. Wait until next time,'" McConaughey said.

"And he was right. I got in circumstances where I was like, 'Nah nah nah, okay, I'm out' and then saying, 'Okay, cool, I'm out.' The girl went, 'Oh, well, no c'mon,' and I was like, 'No, no, no,' " the actor added. "And he said, 'Trust you'll have another day if it's to be.'"

The actor added that his instincts have definitely changed since becoming a father.

“When you become a parent, your peripheral vision becomes better, whereas before you're a parent, you can have tunnel vision," he shares. "You can take one-trip tickets to anywhere you want to go. No more one-trip tickets when you become a parent," he continues. "It’s round-trip tickets because you know you have to get back and you’ve got dependents."

McConaughey continues to learn all these years later.
