Matthew McConaughey will be taking a break from his busy schedule of displaying his buff man-chest while exercising on the beach to join the cast of a couple of upcoming films.
McConaughey will be starring opposite Jennifer Garner in The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a Christmas Carol-inspired romantic comedy in which a womanizer is visited by apparitions of girlfriends past, present, and future at his younger brother's wedding. It will be directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Just Like Heaven).
He also will be filling in for Owen Wilson in Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller comedy that Wilson had to drop out of due to his recent high-profile hospitalization and suicide attempt.
