Matthew McConaughey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This past week Matthew McConaughey has been everywhere from business headlines to Austin’s pizza scene and the stage lights of the Texas literary circuit. Most notably ElevenLabs officially welcomed McConaughey as an investor, customer, and creative partner, revealing at their inaugural summit that he has quietly supported the AI audio firm for years. He appears in a recent ElevenLabs summit video touting their technology for expanding his newsletter Lyrics of Livin to Spanish audio, with the translation delivered in his instantly recognizable voice. McConaughey calls the partnership a natural fit for his passion as a storyteller and praises ElevenLabs’ growth. The deal also makes him a central figure in the launch of the ElevenLabs Iconic Voice Marketplace, where the replicated voices of both living legends like him and Michael Caine, as well as deceased icons, will be licensed for commercial use. Adweek and IMDb highlight his role not simply as an investor but as someone shaping the future of AI-powered content, while Sentinel Colorado notes this collaboration is meant to amplify rather than replace voices, according to both McConaughey and Caine.

Meanwhile his Poems and Prayers Revival Tour made a splash in Austin, where McConaughey appeared live at First Baptist Church, sharing poetry and music inspired by his new book Poems and Prayers. Audiences got a window into his personal reflections and a dose of McConaughey’s signature unscripted authenticity. His participation was also celebrated at the Texas Book Festival where he drew crowds in support of the new book, leading to a burst of positive buzz on local social media and event platforms.

On the rumor front, campaign signs reading McConaughey for Governor appeared around Austin and North Texas, sparking viral speculation about a political run that residents seem to both fear and adore. Whiskey Riff clarifies that these billboards are props for an upcoming Apple TV series called Brothers in which McConaughey plays a fictionalized version of himself running for office alongside Woody Harrelson, not an actual campaign. This viral confusion fueled more social media chatter, with onlookers catching large stage setups brimming with Texas flags and McConaughey’s iconic “Be Pretty Cool if You Voted” tagline.

Adding a slice of everyday color, the San Antonio Express-News reports that McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were spotted enjoying pizza at Austin's Home Slice, leading to even more local social media traffic and further cementing his role as an Austin staple.

Taken together, these developments signal a pivotal week for Matthew McConaughey, with his latest investor revelations, literary and stage pursuits, viral campaign stunts, and business moves likely to shape his public persona for years to come. No major controversies or negative headlines surfaced, while all signs point to his continuing to blend authenticity, experimentation, and star power—whether in AI technology, entertainment, or potential politics. Speculation is limited to fan hopes and conspiracy theories linked to those campaign signs, but all current evidence establishes McConaughey as more relevant and multidimensional than ever.
