McConaughey also recalled the conversation he had with the Rock about how he turned from a good guy to a bad guy.
“The Rock was telling me his story, about his storyline from good guy to bad guy, and how he felt it click in one night while he was there like, ‘Oh I just hooked him,’ “ McConaughey said.
The Greenlights author also revealed that his three children, Levi, 12, Vida, 10, and Livingston, 8, are all fans of the WWE as well. What makes the experience fun for him is that the kids are still at that phase where they’ve suspended their disbelief regarding the performances they see on television.
“I love the suspension and disbelief, ’cause my kids and I watch it,” he shared. “And they’re starting to get that when they go, ‘Oh this is fake.’ I’m going, ‘What are you talking about? No way!’ Because I won’t give them the wink yet, but they’re starting to get that in there, there’s a bit of one, ya know? Two of them are like, ‘this isn’t fake, it’s real!’ “
“That’s so much of the fun of it, is going, ‘This is real,’ “ he added. “And it is.”
