Matthew McConaughey is now an author, with his new memoir Greenlights set to be released on Oct. 20. In an excerpt from the new book published by The Times, McConaughey describes what went down in 1999 when he was arrested at his home in Austin, Texas while stoned, naked and playing bongos.
After a solid 32 hours of partying, McConaughey writes that he was winding down at 2:30 a.m. “It was time to smoke a bowl and listen to the beautiful African melodic beats of Henri Dikongué play through my home speakers.
It was time to stand over my drum set and follow the rhythm of the blues before they got to Memphis, on my favourite Afro-Cuban drum.
