In real life, of course, McConaughey is seriously good guy. He has three children with a woman Camila Alves-who, by the way,henailed down His proposal-And presented considerable resources in its charity, theJust keep the foundation of Livin. But that does not mean that he moves away from a fight. Here, the Oscar-winInterstellar andDallas Buyers Club Star wives on the only event - a fight against the African desert - which taught him the importance of getting up on any challenge.

"I had a romance with Africa for a moment. Always do. To believe in evolution, because it is the mother country, because I really like his music, I dream a lot. I went back to the Mali 3 weeks before filming [2005]Sahara. I had been there once before, and this time, I did exactly the same trip, visited the same villages, met the same chefs, met my friend Isa, who was the same guy I met the first trip . I told the people I was a writer and a boxer. Well, nobody seemed to worry about the writer halfway. But some Malian guys were interested in half of the boxing.

"In fact, the Malians like to fight. That's what they do. So, a night a night has spread to a strong white man named Dowda. In their language, my second name, David. At sunset , these two children, like 22, come and start Jabber to me. I go to my friend, 'Isa, they enjoy me? Isa go,' yes. They say they are the best wrestlers throughout the village . They want to challenge Dowda. ' I'm like: 'Really?' Isa goes, 'Yes, but I do not think they really want to challenge Dowda because they talk too much. "

"Now, these two have built a little further. People gathered to see the evening entertainment. They laugh a lot there; they are people of good nature. Just curious. So there is a group of About 40 people and they laugh and laugh. All sudden people start to shout, and these two children, zoom, take off running. Why? Because who has just showed? Michel, the true village champion. Boom, boom, boom , boom, boom, he walks towards me. It is shorter than me, but true swap, like a tree trunk. He points to me from me, then point for himself, then pointed out on this great sand. When it was exactly that everyone scares going, Who-Ooaa!

"My heart begins to beat, guy. I'll" you have to be Kiddin '. There, you can speak English to yourself because they do not understand what you say. But then I thought,It's perfect. So I get up, I point to him, I point myself and I turn around and go to the pit. Everyone becomes crazy!

"I do not have a shirt, no shoes, I have these pearls coming out of my beard. I do not know what I'm about to get into. But I'm on the trip now, guy! Can you say no to anything like that, if you do not do it, you always wondered, do you know?

"We arrive in this pit on the ground. People tour around us. The chef walks around and puts us in the middle, standing in front of the other. The champion puts his right hand on my left hip and looks at me. So I'm put my hand right on his left hip. Then he puts his left arm on my right hip, and I put my left arm on his right hip. Then he reduces his head very strong, Wham, directly in my right collarbone and starts to Rub the forehead against my shoulder, so I rub my head on him and we are in this mele. The chef enters and puts his hands on our two heads, "said something, then back.

"We went about 2 minutes. I did not marry him, he had not married me. I learned from his leg once, but he had these big shaft trunk legs. And I have noticed after this first round, very good, it has a lot to do with the leverage. Well, the chef is divided after a ride. Now one of the pearls I have encountered in my chin has been torn off, bleeding of my ment, my dowels bleed, my knees are bleeding, and I dribble sweat. The chief hangs up and holds the number two in the air. I'm watching Michel. He's just standing in stone facing the stone, looking at me . Not a sweating whisper on him. I'm like,Oh shit. Here we are.

"We again grab the size of the other, enter the melee, and we left. Turn around, return. I finally get on him. I am keeping the head of being locked up, and go for about 2 minutes. The chef arrives and calls. I get up, and now I'm soaked. Talk about physical and mental perspiration. Thus, the chef raises my hand, the crowd roars. Chief raises his hand, the crowd roars. He turns to me, shakes my hand and looks into my eyes, then removed. I walk from the pit and people go 'dowda! Dowda! And I'm like,I have to sit down, the man.

"The next day, Isa and me on foot. I'm going, 'Isa, how's it last night? How do I have? He just started to laugh and said, "You did very well. »

"I thought I did well, too," I say. "Certainly held alone, you know? He says, "No, no. Everyone believes Michel have Dowda on the back in 10 seconds. »

"I'm like," Really? The big and trapu of him, but I "

"No, no, no," said Isa. Michel not only champion of this village. Michel Champion du Village and four villages back. He laughs. Ye-EESS, Dowda. You come back, we do a little bit of money!

"People with good heart, man. And here is the thing, like ISA and I kept talking. How I absorbed myself in this culture, this tribe, was not because I handled Michel which is a specific word they use to describe the fight. I am respect there as soon as I accepted the challenge. It does not matter if I slammed myself on my back in 10 seconds. As soon as I turned to the pit when Michel put me on the challenge, I'm fuckin 'in.

"Seeing, they are not winning about or losing, in the same way that Malians say this:" It's not good or bad on the spot, do you understand.? »
