AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Matthew McConaughey is heading back to school this fall to teach a course on filmmaking at the University of Texas at Austin.
The university said in a social media post that the Oscar-winning actor will teach at his alma mater alongside “Hunger Games” director Gary Ross.
The university told the San Antonio Express-Times that McConaughey will use pre-recorded videos to take 30 students behind the scenes of “Free State of Jones,” a new film starring McConaughey and directed by Jones. The school says McConaughey will make at least one visit to campus for the class.
The 1993 Texas grad has a home in Austin and has been seen on the sidelines at Longhorns football games.
