Matthew McConaughey's Dad Died in a Surprising Way, Which He Predicted Would Happen

Matthew McConaughey is opening up about the death of his father James, who passed away in 1992.

The 50-year-old Oscar-winning actor is getting ready to release his new memoir Greenlights and he opened up about his family during an interview with People.

Matthew revealed that his dad died just how he predicted he would: making love to his wife.

“I got a call from my Mom. ‘Your dad died.’ My knees buckled. I couldn’t believe it. He was my dad. Nobody or nothing could kill him. Except mom. He’d always told me and my brothers, ‘Boys, when I go, I’m gonna be makin’ love to your mother.’ And that’s what happened. He had a heart attack when he climaxed,” Matthew said.

Matthew also opened up about his parents’ relationship.

“They were, at times, violent,” he told People. “As I say in the book, that is how they communicated. They were divorced twice, married three times, I mean, yeah, it was like the Pacific Ocean in a storm.”

Matthew and his wife Camila Alves talked about the importance of “tough love” this summer.
