Today is Matthew McConaughey‘s 45th birthday, and let’s just say, he’s already having a pretty good year. 2014 was the year of the McConaissance. You know, the year when he overcame the stigma of being a walking punchline and parlayed his charm and talents into securing his first Oscar (for Dallas Buyers Club) and his first Emmy nomination (for his astounding work on True Detective).

McConaughey is poised to conquer the box office this weekend with Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi odyssey, Interstellar.
