Matthew McConaughey is absolutely gorgeous in person and funny too! HollywoodLife.com attended the star-studded premiere of his new film Bernie in NYC on April 23 and he told us how he prepared for his role as a stripper alongside Channing Tatum in the upcoming flick Magic Mike.

“We went by one male revue strip club in New Orleans,” he told us at the film screening sponsored by Quintessentially and Asahi. “I was there for about an hour and that was enough.”

But Matthew says that he isn’t only planning on doing adult films, he’s in the midst of writing a kids’ movie!

“I’ve got one that I’m writing right now,” he says. “Kids are like, ‘I love planes and I love dragons and I love lions.’ All of a sudden, they have a lion that they say can fly but then can walk through the city like a lady but then can swim underwater like a fish but can fly like a plane.’”

Following the movie, guests headed over to NYC’s Lilium for the exclusive after-party, where they sipped on Asahi beer.
