CWEB Reports – Celebrity mogul Martha Stewart playfully confessed to being intimidated by Hollywood heavyweight Matthew McConaughey’s intense dedication to his craft during a recent episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast. The 83-year-old lifestyle icon, who starred alongside the Oscar winner in February’s star-studded Uber Eats Super Bowl commercial, admitted the actor’s method-acting prowess left her “scared”—though not for the reasons fans might expect.
“He Got Me Scared, Actually!”
Stewart shared the behind-the-scenes anecdote while chatting with guest Kate Hudson, a longtime friend and frequent collaborator of McConaughey. Reflecting on their ad shoot—which required McConaughey to cycle through 10 different characters—Stewart quipped, “He got into each role with so much passion. It takes him about 15 minutes [to switch], and I thought, Wow, this is serious.”
Hudson, who starred with McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Fool’s Gold, laughed and teased, “Of commercials?!” Stewart clarified, “Of characters! He’s such a method actor… but he was fabulous to work with.” The pair agreed that McConaughey’s relentless professionalism, while initially daunting, elevated the project.
From Super Bowl Laughs to Tattoo Drama
The conversation took a humorous detour when Hudson opened up about her own family’s quirks. The Almost Famous actress revealed she disapproves of her 20-year-old son Ryder Robinson’s “terrible” tattoo choices, joking, “I have a tiny star on my foot, and my mom [Goldie Hawn] got a heart in the same spot for her 60th birthday. Ryder’s? Not so cute.”
CWEB News Spotlight: McConaughey’s Reputation
Despite Stewart’s lighthearted “fear,” McConaughey’s colleagues consistently praise his work ethic. Known for immersive roles in films like Dallas Buyers Club (which earned him an Academy Award) and True Detective, the actor’s commitment to even short-form projects like commercials underscores his artistic ethos.
As CWEB News previously reported, McConaughey’s Uber Eats ad—featuring surreal scenarios like Stewart “forgetting” she’s a billionaire—became one of Super Bowl LVIII’s most viral moments.
Stewart, ever the pragmatist, concluded with a laugh: “I’ll stick to baking and gardening. Let Matthew handle the acting.” Fans can catch the full episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast for more witty insights and celebrity stories.
