Matthew McConaughey Reflects On Interstellar’s 10th Anniversary

in six weeks time it's the 10th anniversary of interstellar I think it's being re-released in theaters in 70 mil IMAX in IMAX yeah okay how did that movie change you it's my favorite movie of all time so thank you for I have a lot of people tell me that that that's her favorite movie of all time and that's another that a lot of people go had to go watch four times there's a lot to take in there's a lot to take in classic Nolan um yeah um how did it change me and you're not talking about like the success of the movie like the subject material everything else I working with Christopher learning about I mean you know Kip Thorne [ __ ] the consultant physicist on that show so much stuff yeah also you know it was in that in that sense it was similar to when I did a movie called Contact and I got to sit with Carl San for three and a half hours and he went through and I remember walking away from that going oh my gosh as a believer God's backyard's a whole lot bigger than I thought it was which is a very humbling and empowering thought um I mean look the main thing was I think on the on the human side of the real me personally I was like oh you don't leave your kids to go do what your dream is and then when I change dream what your dream is to to go do what you were meant to do what you were born to do that you have an ability to do like nobody else I'm just like oh well maybe you do leave your kid that that argument and that leaving which is that countdown that's I remember that's where I was so that's the scene I'm remembering is the price you pay the cost the consequence of chasing down and I had my initial thought was O Cooper being selfish in the wrong way you know don't and then it's a good argument though I don't think you can easily say that um there's a major consequence with that but look at what and I look I I deal with it now I got three kids doing my favorite my favorite job what I think I was I feel find extreme and inless purpose in imp parenting but I'm dabbling in different versions of leadership that have to do with the betterment maybe I hope of more people and but it would become a consequence of being there and being present like I want to be from my three children and my wife as our family I haven't found anything that I believe is worth that at the sacrifice of this yet and my argument with myself there is the best exports we can have if we do it well as our children no better export you can put out no better extension of yourself no better way to uh uh um uh you know affect cre legac the world um than doing then hope hopefully having some healthy children that can go be independent enough and of you know you and you taught them when they see they see the world in the right way and can chase down things that they love and they hopefully love the right things so contributing to anything in place of that is a net negative well that'd be my argument at at the sacrifice of fewer that I feel like oh that's that's millage I've really got to I've got to that's I'm I'm helping give them the pallet to paint on and I'm I'm handing the the the the right colors to them and letting them fall from the right Heights to the wrong the right trees you know to where they get bruised but hopefully don't break a neck you know what I mean um so but I don't but it's a but it's a good argument one that I understand on the other side and I have friends that go have sacrificed that I have friends that have been very successful even in the career of being an actor in Hollywood and a successful actor in Hollywood you know this brings me back to when we first had kids before Camila pulled the the goalie to get pregnant she goes one condition you go we go and my first reaction was hey hey hey hey I'm lone wolf artist here man I go off my Airstream with my dog I'm a solo you know coyote here man and while I'm saying that I heard my mother's voice go you better nod your head and say she's given you a gift say yes ma'am and I did yes ma'am and that we've done that I have a 16y old a 14y old and 11y old no doubt that has a major contribution to how to whatever strong strength our family is I I think our family is very strong and the security that my kids have and the courage that they have that because we've never been away from each other that long they picked up came with there's another side I understand you go got opportunities that can do great things like could share art or leadership in the world that hey I'm going to be away and maybe that's even there's argument that that could be better for your children later on or maybe better for their children MH this is that you know we were talking about that infinite regress of being mean to yourself or it's emotions about emotions and stuff uh thinking about the decision that Cooper needs to make and also the decision that you need to make it's you can always continue to kid yourself a little bit more is it more virtuous to stay at home yeah with your children to raise your children despite the fact that the likelihood of them surviving into the future and their kids surviving into the future is lessened by that okay but then if you go and do the thing you leave them you're making that sacrif but are you doing it because you want to save the world or are you doing it because it's your dream or the fact that you can get something virtuous out of something that's also your dream is that [ __ ] Puritan work ethic we were talking about before which is I the only way that this can be a virtuous decision is if I suffer yeah more I it's only suffering not just that it's good for the future but also that I don't want to do it because if I don't want to do it then I know that it's really really true because it's a high price that I pay because go pull it off and this is the as far as I can see the curse of the deep thinker amen amen amen uh a curse and gift because because it does do one thing that we hadn't brought up at a very base level and I think this goes along with stress anxiety at the very base it mean in something that we can't take for granted because not everyone has it it means you give a damn yes and let's not throw let's let's not throw that out like oh of course you no because not everybody does it means you give a damn about more about more than just yourself and that is a high that's a high-end value and not an old-fashioned nostalgic thing to go oh that's so 1950s [ __ ] that's a real thing some people can't care or some people struggle to care about things entire people that go through their lives it's odd especially in the UK um loving things being too Keen right Americans kind of have per per firstline Cocaine Energy very excitable and I like it I like excitable people I like enthusiasm however the UK doesn't necessarily have that quite so much and I always think how much more I would how much I wish I could gift that back to the UK but how much that positive reinforcement we was saying it before that first scene that you do and the guy next to you goes hey that was pretty good yeah yeah the right encouraging word the right time where would that push people to and okay if that's what you want for you in the world you have the opportunity to be that for other people and maybe it's going to start to come back around and maybe we can begin to change culture a little bit by doing this when will that English or or does it does it have someone though that is constantly like ah bu that goes and succeeds that the English culture goes [ __ ] Bravo is it ever R so interesting startat around the UK globally so far in 2024 the UK has the second highest number of millionaire exits on Earth what's a millionaire exit a millionaire that has left the country and is now living in a different a different Nation China first 15,000 UK second 9 a half thousand but the UK is 3% of the population of China so prata we have got by far the most millionaires leaving by far we do not have a good culture around supporting success around uh people doing different things another great example of this uh the UK has got three universities in the two or three universities in the top 10 in the world as does America so it'll be Oxford Cambridge maybe Kings or Durham in the UK and they'll be Princeton Harvard something else in the US and a couple of others and we have 20% the number of startup Founders despite the fact that we have the same number of University graduates going from Top Flight universities why culture trust really is everything when it comes to supplements a lot of Brands may say they're top quality but few can actually prove it which is why I partnered with MOS they make the highest quality supplements on the planet three of the products that I use to support my brain body and sleep are magnesium L3 and8 creatine and Omega-3s honestly I try to limit the number of supplements that I rely on but when I take these consistently they have
