22 October 2014

Jessica Chastain thinks Matthew McConaughey is "gorgeous".

Jessica Chastain gushed over her 'Instellar' co-star Matthew McConaughey's good looks and acting talent.

The actress stars alongside Matthew, 44, in 'Interstellar' has gushed over the hunky actor as he was presented with the 2014 American Cinematheque Award at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California as she recalled the moment she became a fan of the Oscar-winning star.

It was A Time to Kill. The closing speech and he's the defence attorney and he stops and he kind of puts his hand on his face and he chokes back his emotions and I remember watching that moment, was how she recalled the event.

"Before that film, I thought, 'Oh, that man's gorgeous,' and then when I saw that it was, 'Yes, he's gorgeous, but he's an actor. That was in the beginning and I've been a fan ever since."

There was no shortage of praise for the 'True Detective' actor at the star-studded event.

His 'Mud' co-star Reese Witherspoon also paid homage to the well-loved actor and admitted she could "watch him all day".

She explained: "He's handsome and he's got talent. He's got what my friend calls a 'two-hour face'--you want to watch him for two hours. He might even have a 'six-hour face.' That hasn't been tested yet. Well, it has, hasn't it with True Detective? You could watch him all day."
