Matthew McConaughey says he’s got a beef with Texas cops who busted him last month while he was banging drums in his birthday suit.

“I’m considering taking action against the police, but I’m going to keep any decision about that to myself for now,” the hunky 30-year-old actor said in a London interview last night.

McConaughey escaped serious criminal charges when he was arrested at home in Austin Oct. 25 after neighbors complained about the bongo music coming from his house.

When cops arrived at 2:45 a.m., they found the star of “Ed TV,” “A Time to Kill” and “Amistad” banging on bongo drums, nude and “highly intoxicated.”

McConaughey was originally charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest.

The charges were reduced to a single count of violating Austin’s noise ordinance. The star pleaded guilty and paid a $50 fine.

“I’m relieved it was just a $50 fine,” McConaughey said. “I was playing the bongos pretty damn loud, and it was late, and I may have woken someone up.

“But those cops bursting into my house in the middle of the night sure interrupted my groove.”

McConaughey said he was playing the music of Henri Dikongue, a Cameroonian singer who “speaks beautiful French lyrics.”

Dikongue seems to suit the actor’s laid-back persona.

“Check him out, man,” McConaughey said. “It’s some of the most peaceful, coolest music you can listen to, which is what’s so ironic about the situation.

“You would think I was playing like Rage Against the Machine or something like that, but I wasn’t,” McConaughey said.

Austin prosecutors said they dropped the resisting-arrest charge because McConaughey didn’t struggle with the cops.

“It was just a case of two male egos colliding and not an excessive amount of good judgment on either side,” said Travis County Attorney Ken Oden.

In his next acting role, McConaughey will play a police detective investigating his partner’s death in the movie “Johnny Diamond.”
