Matthew Mackenzie he is known as an actor who reinvented himself. After appearing in many romantic comedies, he broke through ten years ago with more dramatic roles in what fans call the ‘McConaissance’.
At that time he was seen in films like The Wolf of Wall Street and he even won an Oscar for his role in it Dallas Buyers Club. The actor now reveals that he took several risks to change that role.
$15 million
One of these was a rejection of nearly $15 million. The actor received an offer for an action-comedy reboot of the series Magnum, PI just when he decided to leave comedies aside.
“A screw came in,” the actor said, “and they offered $8 million. I said no, they offered $10 million. I said no, they offered $12 million. I said no, they offered $14.5 million. [Toen] I had to think about it. But finally I said no again.”
New movies
“I knew this [het einde van mijn carrière] could” the actor continues. In the end it turned out well. McConaughey currently has two movies: Rivals of king Amaziah in The Lost Bus.

What inspired Matthew Mackenzie to transition from romantic comedies to dramatic roles in his acting career?
Interviewer: Today, we’re fortunate to have the renowned actor Matthew Mackenzie with us for an exclusive interview. Thank you for taking the time to join us, Matthew. To start, can you share what motivated your career shift from romantic comedies to more dramatic roles?
Matthew: Well, it all started when I felt like I had reached a point in my career where I wanted to challenge myself as an actor. I had done a lot of rom-coms and felt like I had something more to offer audiences. I wanted to showcase my versatility and take on more complex characters. It was also important for me to choose roles that resonated with me personally, and that’s when I decided to venture into dramatic performances.
Interviewer: You made headlines recently when you turned down a massive $15 million offer for a reboot of a popular hit series. Can you tell us more about that decision and what led you to it?
Matthew: Well, it wasn’t an easy decision by any means. When you’re offered a substantial amount of money, it’s tempting to accept. However, at that point in my career, I knew that success wasn’t just about the paycheck. I wanted to be passionate about my work and choose projects that aligned with my artistic vision. I felt like the reboot didn’t offer me any creative satisfaction, so I decided to pursue other opportunities.
Interviewer: You’re currently working on two new films, and both seem quite different from your usual genre. Can you tell us about these projects and what drew you to them?
Matthew: I’m thrilled to be working on these new projects. Rivals of King Amaziah by Andrew Patterson is a gritty drama about a foster parent who takes extreme measures to protect his children. I found the script compelling and the character challenging, which is what I was looking for. Similarly, The Lost Bus by Paul Greengrass explores human resilience during a deadly forest fire. These roles allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, and I believe that’s essential for any actor’s growth.
