Matthew McConaughey has been doing the publicity rounds for Interstellar this week, and while we had the Oscar-winner cornered, we thought we’d quiz him about one of his many recent successes – namely TV drama True Detective.

With Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn announced as the stars of Season 2 back in September, we asked McConaughey what advice he’d have for the new cast…“I’ve very confident they’re going to have great words to say,” he explained. “In Nic Pizzolatto, the creator and writer, you have a great resource to go and just understand what the hell you are saying. And that did a lot for me to give me the identity of Rust Cohle. And Nick writes with such clarity and identity that there’s no room for attitude. He writes real men that own what they’re saying. No one apologises. Be different, not sorry!”We also asked McConaughey what he thinks his somewhat obtuse True Detective character would say about Intertellar…“He wouldn’t say anything,” he claimed. “But if he was pushed by Marty, about the prophecies of Interstellar, Rus wouldn’t say this... someone would have to say it for him, but he’d probably say ‘I told you so’.” Interstellar is released this week and reviewed here , while True Detective Season 2 starts shooting any day now in California.
