Matthew McConaughey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Matthew McConaughey has been making a splash on multiple fronts over the past several days. Most notably, he and his wife Camila Alves McConaughey just christened the brand new Star Princess cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in a ceremony brimming with Hollywood glitz. As the newly named “godparents” of the vessel, the couple joined a storied tradition shared by other celebrity icons like Princess Diana and Audrey Hepburn. But in classic McConaughey style, they traded the standard champagne for a bottle of their own Pantalones Organic Tequila during the official blessing, delivering a cheeky and memorable twist to the proceedings. According to Resident Magazine and 7NEWS Australia, both Camila and Matthew charmed the crowd at the naming event, recalling their early days as a couple in Australia and how the experience on boats has shaped many chapters of their personal and professional lives. The event has drawn significant coverage across international media, with Princess Cruises’ leadership praising the McConaugheys’ glamorous presence.

But Matthew is not just cruising through life’s pleasures; he’s taking the stage as well. According to Austin City Cast and Vivid Seats, McConaughey is headlining an author event at the Texas Book Festival in Austin this weekend, presenting and signing his latest work, “Poems & Prayers.” This highly anticipated talk is ticketed and has Austin’s book-loving crowd buzzing, with tickets reportedly starting at $99 and the event promising fresh insights from the Oscar winner on faith, storytelling, and Texas life.

On the business side, his and Camila’s Pantalones Organic Tequila continues to get free headlines thanks to its prominent role in the Star Princess stunt, aligning the brand with international luxury and travel—a publicity coup for their entrepreneurial portfolio. McConaughey’s philanthropic footprint also holds steady as his Just Keep Livin’ Foundation, established years ago to support youth fitness and nutrition, is frequently referenced in both news features and his public appearances, reinforcing his commitment to community engagement.

As for long-term significance, this week’s high-profile cruise event joins McConaughey’s long list of celebrity firsts and cements his status as both a pop culture mainstay and an entrepreneurial force.
