Matthew McConaughey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This past week has been a defining one for Matthew McConaughey, with headlines focused on his much-anticipated return to the public stage and the arts. On July 31, news broke across major outlets that he’s launching the Poems & Prayers Revival Tour this September, a limited five-city engagement crafted to celebrate the upcoming release of his third book, Poems & Prayers. Events will blend spoken word, live music, candid conversation, and feature surprise guests—offering fans not just performances but what McConaughey describes as “a memory ... a place where we can rediscover what we’ve lost, celebrate what remains, and maybe even leave behind what no longer serves us.” According to a press statement, the tour will weave through Brooklyn, Nashville, Tulsa, Los Angeles, and conclude with a homecoming stop in Austin on September 21. Each admission comes with a copy of the book, which officially drops on September 16, and McConaughey first teased its release in June, calling it a deeply personal collection of poetry and reflections with influences ranging from the Old Testament to Lord Byron, and even to the actor’s own dreams and travels. Notably, he’s leveraging his own platforms—Instagram included—to personally announce the tour and offer sneak peeks into the project.

Simultaneously, McConaughey’s film career is also spiking in visibility. Apple Original Films just rolled out the trailer for The Lost Bus, starring McConaughey opposite America Ferrera in a thriller inspired by real-life events. This Paul Greengrass-directed drama will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before a limited theatrical release on September 19 and a streaming debut on Apple TV+ October 3. McConaughey plays a school bus driver fighting to save children from a wildfire—an awards-aimed, prestige vehicle that’s drawing attention from both industry insiders and fans. Clips and teasers from the film are circulating widely across social media, with early buzz positioning the project as a potential major hit.

Rounding out his recent activity, coverage continues to mention McConaughey’s ongoing business ventures and philanthropic interests—including his longtime role as creative director at Wild Turkey, and the work of his Just Keep Livin’ Foundation. There have been no new political maneuvers or campaign rumors this week, despite past speculation about his ambitions in Texas. Meanwhile, McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves, frequently cited in lifestyle and finance reports, continue to attract curiosity about their Austin-based family life and net worth, now estimated at a cool 160 million dollars.

For McConaughey, these days are a vivid mix of literary revelation, cinematic comeback, and careful personal branding. As he hits the road and the big screen almost simultaneously this fall, Hollywood and the public alike are watching to see just how far his multifaceted revival will go.
