Alright, alright, alright. The chronically shirtless and always sweaty Matthew McConaughey has been making some serious talk to promote his new courtroom drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, which marks the second time that Matty’s played a barrister and the first time since 1996′s A Time To Kill. In a bizarre and seemingly contrived revelation, Matty tells Access Hollywood that he (like nearly every other liberal arts major) once aspired to be a hired gun lawyer:

“I woke up when I was in college – I think I was 21, and I said, ‘Wait a minute — a couple more years of this, four more years of law school, I get out and I’ll be 28 before I actually have a job and am practicing what I want to do? I don’t want to miss my 20s,’” the star told Access of why he chose to stop pursuing a law degree, at the junket for The Lincoln Lawyer in LA on Thursday. “I wanted to get out in my 20s and try and make some sort of imprint in society. I didn’t have the patience or the want to go for another six years of just education before I wanted to try out and get my own experience. So I switched over to film production and I’m happy I did,” he added, with his signature smile.

HA ha ha … did McConaughey really say that he wanted to make an “imprint in society”? More like he wanted to spread his seed around to as many willing ladies as possible. After all, law students study waste countless hours by studying far too much and, as a result, don’t get laid too terribly often. That was definitely not the optimal path for this male whore. BTW, has McConaughey’s face always looked this completely wonked out, or have I just been focusing on his body way too much to notice until now?
