An actor or actress who continues to get A-list roles despite the fact that their films repeatedly bomb. To be a McConaughey, an actor or actress has their star-making role, followed by flop after flop to the point where audiences question why the performer continues to receive high-profile roles. Named after Matthew McConaughey, an actor dubbed as a rising star after his performance in Dazed and Confused, and continually called one despite the fact that every movie he has ever starred in (outside of romantic comedies) has flopped horribly.
