Man in the mask Matthew McConaughey goes undercover on the streets of Hollywood



It's one thing for a celebrity to wear a baseball cap and very large dark shades to venture out in public.

But we suspect that Matthew McConaughey might have taken things a bit too far when he wanted to go incognito yesterday.



The actor stepped out on Hollywood Boulevard dressed in khaki shorts and a brown T-shirt, typically casual attire for any California resident.

However, he had also completely covered his face in a mask, while a light blue bandanna covered his mouth.



Although he appeared to be completely unrecognisable, he obviously didn't do a very good job of hiding it as his cover was soon blown as cameras and fans started gathering round.

But even then, he didn't take the mask off.

But he clearly wasn't that bothered, especially when he was stopped by one scantily clad woman who appeared to recognise him as she walked past.

Of course, if he really didn't want to be recognised, then pitching up on Hollywood Boulevard wasn't the brightest idea.

Tourists flock to the well-known Los Angeles street which not only plays host to the world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre but the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where past and present movie legends have brass stars in their name running along it.

McConaughey, 41, was on the famous strip directing a music video for his country singer friend Jamey Johnson and his single Playing The Part from his album The Guitar Song.

Jamey recently said that he and Matthew have 'had some great conversations over the past week or two. A lot of interesting ideas are pouring out' about how to tell the visual story of the song.



The singer added that he couldn't 'wait to get out there and see how this turns out'.
