Matthew McConaughey has said he almost quit Hollywood over the pressures of being typecast in rom-com roles.

The 54-year-old actor told Interview magazine he felt a “sense of insignificance” when being asked to continuously star in films such as The Wedding Planner, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Failure To Launch.
