In Failure To Launch a thirty-something slacker suspects his parents of setting him up with his dream girl so he'll finally vacate their home.
Matthew McConaughey is done with romantic comedies.
The actor is famous for appearing shirtless as a romantic lead in a string of films including 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' and 'Failure to Launch', but he is ready for more edgy roles, such as playing a ruthless hitman in 'Killer Joe'.
He told Shortlist magazine: "It's another chapter for sure. I did have to say no to a lot of romantic comedies. I think Hollywood got a little bit like, 'OK, he seriously doesn't want to do any more of these right now.'
"And however the world works, something happened and the message got out."
The 42-year-old star - who is married to Brazilian model Camila Alves, with whom he has two children, son Levi and daughter Vida - knew 'Killer Joe' was the right role for him to refresh his career after he felt sick when first reading the script.
He added: "The first time I read 'Killer Joe' I thought, 'I don't want anything to do with this. I feel sick to my stomach and I need to take a shower.'
"I went back and read it again and suddenly it clicked. Oh, 'this is a riot man. It was exactly what it was looking for. I was like, yeah, this acting thing, it's a rodeo. All right, lets go ride the bull. Let's go shake some s**t up!"
'Killer Joe' is in cinemas at the end of this month. - Bang Showbiz
