Matthew McConaughey gives a powerful pep talk

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey was invited to give a pep talk to the college football team he supports and the result was just as mesmerising as you’d expect.

McConaughey is a graduate of the University of Texas and a devoted supporter of their American Football team - the Texas Longhorns.

So when he was asked to visit a practice session and give a motivational speech to the players his passion for the team and the sport is clear.

He asked the players to really question why the played football and to use that knowledge to motivate themselves.

“In there you’re gonna find the answer - of whether you win or whether you lose.”

If part of the speech seems familiar, it’s because McConaughey drew on one film performance in particular for his signature move.
