Matthew McConaughey shares his parenting tips and new book with Australian fans

Matthew McConaughey made an appearance on the Today Show Australia and Nova to talk about his picture book, Just Because.

Matthew McConaughey needs no introduction, but while you might recognise the star from some of his iconic films – Interstellar, The Lincoln Lawyer and Failure to Launch among many others – what you might not realise is that he’s also a bestselling author.

His debut picture book, Just Because, was published in September this year and has already become a fast favourite among kids and grown-ups alike.

With adorable illustrations and an important message, the book reminds readers of all ages to embrace life as it is – contradictions and all!
