Matthew McConaughey Tennis Addiction
por Tufail: Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey tells Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that tennis replaced running as his go-to workout after a casual session five years ago. He played just for fun with three friends back then, and two hours later he was drenched in sweat with a heart rate that went higher than any run ever did. That moment convinced him to throw away his running shoes because the game felt like such a more fun way to get exercise. Now he's been addicted to it for five years straight. His interest isn't limited to playing; he saw Tommy Paul the other day and watched Alcaraz too, plus he has seen some of the women's matches. He has made it to Wimbledon a couple times and visited the US Open a few times already. A match featuring two American players is scheduled for Friday semifinals, which fits right into his routine. He confirms he is hooked and says anywhere, any time he gets to go see tennis or play it, he is in.

And then the last time I think I saw you, you were at the U.S. Open. Are you a... Tennis. Yes. Yes. Are you a big tennis guy? I've gotten into tennis. I played for just a few months in ninth grade, then I broke my foot and I got into golf. But five years ago, five years ago, I went out and I played just fun with three friends, right? And two hours later, I was drenched in sweat. My heart rate had gotten higher and I was like, oh, I'm throwing away my running shoes. This is so much more of a fun way to get exercise. So I'm addicted to it now. Oh really? Yeah. And have you seen any matches? Who did you see? Saw Tommy Paul the other day, saw Alcaraz. Oh, he's amazing. We've seen some of the women's matches. Ooh, there's a great one coming up this Friday in the semifinals. We got two Americans in the semifinals. That's right, bud. Come on. No, and the US Open. I've been here now a few times. I've made it to Wimbledon a couple of times. I'm hooked. So anywhere, anytime I get to go see tennis or play it, I'm in.
