Matthew McConaughey stuns Timothée Chalamet with 'Interstellar' confession

McConaughey revealed that he has never watched anything he's done twice including Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'

During a candid conversation at a CNN and Variety town hall, Matthew McConaughey left his former co-star Timothée Chalamet shocked after revealing he has only watched their 2014 film Interstellar once. “I’ve never seen anything I’ve done twice,” McConaughey said, before confirming of the Christopher Nolan epic, “Yeah… I’ve seen Interstellar once.”

Chalamet could hardly believe it, repeatedly pushing back in disbelief. “No way… you’ve seen Interstellar once?” he said, adding, “You’re doing yourself a disservice, man.” The younger actor noted he has watched the film dozens of times, emphasizing how meaningful the project remains to him years later.

McConaughey explained that his reluctance to revisit his work comes from how intensely he remembers filming each scene. “I’m a little uncomfortable going back,” he said. “Each frame, something in my head goes back to the day, and the preparation for the day… and all the intricacies that that one scene that we just saw in 90 seconds took two days.” He added that even his children have barely seen his films, joking, “My kids haven’t seen 95% of the stuff I’ve done… maybe one day they’ll look back and go, ‘Hey, Pop wasn’t half bad at that.’”

The exchange turned into a nostalgic reflection on their collaboration, with McConaughey describing the experience of filming as something he prefers to keep in the past, while Chalamet embraced the film’s lasting emotional and creative impact. Their playful back-and-forth highlighted not only their different relationships with the same film, but also Interstellar’s enduring legacy more than a decade after its release.
