McConaughey cuts face

American actor Matthew McConaughey cut his face while training for his upcoming fighter movie.

The 38-year-old was preparing for his role in 'The Grackle', a new film from his J.K. Livin Productions, his publicist, Alan Nierob, said in an e-mail.

Mr Nierob said McConaughey had been training Ultimate Fighting Championship-style.

He did not know when and where the injury occurred.

Photos posted yesterday on celebrity gossip website X17 show McConaughey wearing a bandage over his left eye while sitting in the passenger seat of a car.

According to the site, the shots were snapped last week after he delivered a eulogy at a funeral service for the late daredevil Evel Knievel.
