‘IN HIS BIRTHDAY SUIT’

McConaughey Reveals Mom’s Odd Ask When His Dad Died After Sex

“That’s Big Jim, he’s gonna go out how he went,” the star’s mom said as her husband’s body was wheeled out of their home.

Matthew McConaughey’s mother had a strange request following her husband’s death after they had sex. The Dallas Buyers Club actor’s mother, Mary Kathleen “Kay” McConaughey, wanted his father carried out “in his birthday suit” after his fatal heart attack, McConaughey wrote in his 2020 book, Greenlights. McConaughey, 55, recalled his mom’s words as his father, James Donald McConaughey’s body was taken out of their house covered in a sheet. McConaughey said his mom pulled off the sheet, saying “‘That’s Big Jim, he’s gonna go out how he went. Don’t be trying to cover up how he went out. He’s in his birthday suit and he’s right there. Don’t be covering that man up!’” James always wished to die making love to Kay, McConaughey said in a Saturday interview with The Guardian about his new book, Poems & Prayers. McConaughey’s dad died back in 1992 at the age of 62. The couple had a turbulent relationship in which they were “married three times, divorced twice,” the Interstellar actor said. McConaughey speculated that his parents “just needed some breaks for each other.”
