Plus: It’s tough to disagree
Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning and the university’s minister of culture Matthew McConaughey have seemingly developed a friendship over the offseason.
Mostly, on how to be famous, according to The Athletic.
“I’ve actually talked a lot to Matthew McConaughey about that,” Manning reportedly said. “He’s given me some advice. He’s been great to have in my corner. He just told me different ways on how to handle things in different situations. He’s way more known than I am, so it’s good anytime you get advice from him.”
You have to keep L-I-V-I-N, or something like that, the Best Actor-winning artist told him.
“He kind of just told me that you still have to live your life. He said he goes to the grocery store, walks down every aisle and he lives his life,” Manning said. “He told me ‘you can’t let you taking a picture or signing an autograph affect your life.’”
