Matthew McConaughey says there is no role that he regrets turning down.

McConaughey is currently the toast of Hollywood having scooped the Best Actor - Drama Golden Globe at the weekend.

He won for his performance as Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club, a role that could well see him pick up an Oscar nomination later this week.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, the actor said: "There's nothing in the past that I passed on that I actually regret.

"There was a rumour that I had 'Titanic,' and turned it down. That was actually false. I don't know why [James] Cameron said that. I never got an official offer."

In recent years, we have seen McConaughey take on a string of very different roles with the likes of Killer Joe, Magic Mike and Dallas Buyers Club under his belt.

And while he admits that he like the action roles and comedies that he was doing, he just wanted to shake things up a bit.

"My career was going fine. I enjoyed my career. I enjoyed romantic comedies. I enjoyed the action comedies. I enjoyed the action movies that I was doing. I enjoyed all those.

"I just wanted to shake up my career, recalibrate, shift gears, and evolve a little bit to do something that was turning me on at this time in my life."

As well as Dallas Buyers Club, we are also going to be seeing McConaughey star in sci-fi film Interstellar - a movie which sees him work with director Christopher Nolan for the first time.

He has also moved into TV with series True Detective alongside Woody Harrelson.

Dallas Buyers Club is released 7th February.
