Matthew McConaughey<\/strong><\/a> seemed to be more of a victim of a bee sting than a Reign of Fire<\/em>. However, the picture he showed to fans initially made them feel he was a little less than all right, all right, all right.<\/p>\n The picture in question was shared on Instagram on Wednesday and was simply a close-up of himself with his right eye noticeably bruised and swollen shut. Despite this, he still had a smile on his face and captioned the photo with, \u201cbee swell.\u201d<\/p>\n Though it\u2019s unclear where it happened, the\u00a0Dazed and Confused<\/em> star famously lives in his home state of Texas, where he and his wife, Camila Alves<\/strong><\/a>, are raising their three kids: Levi<\/strong>, Vida<\/strong>, and Livingston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The McConaugheys\u00a0 moved out of their \u201chappy life\u201d in Malibu, California, in 2014. They recall the decision coming naturally to both of them after visiting Austin for several weeks amid a family crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTime slowed down,\u201d Matthew, 54, told Southern Living<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThe clock was right, the body clock. And part of that is ritual; part of that is just the distance between places and the way people move. But it\u2019s also the hospitality, the courtesy, the common sense, the lack of drama.\u201d<\/p>\n In June, McConaughey admitted during a conversation with fellow Texas native Glen Powell<\/strong><\/a>, 35, for Interview<\/em> <\/a>magazine that he once took a two-year break from working in Hollywood. He felt he was struggling to book movie roles outside of the romantic comedy genre, where he starred in early 2000s classics like 2003\u2019s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cDude, it was scary. I had long talks with my wife about needing to find a new vocation,\u201d he shared of the hiatus, recalling that he told his wife at various points during this time that he was considering teaching high school, studying to conduct music or working as a \u201cwildlife guide.\u201d<\/p>\n So the Interstellar<\/em> actor is now in a place where he feels most comfortable, bee sting and all.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
