Alright, alright. Imagine walking into your college film studies class and see a cool, A-list Hollywood actor as your professor. Sounds unreal right? Well, a whole generation of film students in Texas will now be taught special classes by Professor Matthew McConaughey.
The super successful actor has now taken up the mantle of a professor of practice at the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody College of Communication. And we’re pretty sure those classes are now full up.
He will continue teaching a script to screen film production class for which he developed the course curriculum.
Kathleen Mabley, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Moody College of Communications, shared the announcement with E! News and said: “He’ll still teach the same class, Script to Screen, but now as an official employee he has the ability to also mentor students, explore teaching other classes and participate in all of the University events.”
