Matthew McConaughey gets last laugh on West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen
Bryce Dallas Howard and Matthew McConaughey in “Gold.”
Remember that sun-soaked afternoon not long ago when West Virginia Mountaineers
(To be fair, West Virginia did win the game.)
Well, it appears Texas superfan Matthew McConaughey took some inspiration from Holgorsen. So much inspiration that he decided to honor the West Virginia coach in his new film, “Gold.” In a wide-ranging interview with Austin American-Statesman reporter Joe Gross, McConaughey spilled the beans on the true inspiration for his character’s unflattering hairline.
The resemblance is unmistakable, and extra hilarious for any college football die-hard. McConaughey 1, Holgorsen 0.
