Cool Videos: Matthew McConaughey explains his Wolf of Wall Street “hum”

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In Martin Scorsese‘s THE WOLF OF WALL STREET there’s a scene where Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio have lunch together, which results in some rather odd behavior. No, I’m not talking about the advise to from McConaughey to jerk off, snort coke, and drink til you drop, but rather his strange chest thump/humming, which came out of nowhere. It just seemed like one of those idiosyncratic moments upon first viewing, but McConaughey explains the behavior while on The Graham Norton Show, which is an interesting insight into what it’s all about and how it came to be in the film.

Check it out:

And, here’s the actual scene:

McConaughey had a hell of a year in 2013 with THE WOLF OF WALL STREET and DALLAS BUYERS CLUB and is already kicking ass in 2014 with HBO’s True Detective and surely will again in Christopher Nolan‘s INTERSTELLAR, which hits on November 7, 2014.
