In the book, the actor opened up about his dad James Donald McConaughey and his death - and spoke about him in a cover story with this week as the outlet highlighted an excerpt.
Matthew explained: "I got a call from my Mom. 'Your dad died.' My knees buckled. I couldn’t believe it. He was my dad. Nobody or nothing could kill him. Except mom.
"He’d always told me and my brothers, 'Boys, when I go, I’m gonna be makin' love to your mother.' And that’s what happened. He had a heart attack when he climaxed."
Sadly, Matthew's dad passed away in 1992, following a very on and off relationship with Matthew's mom Kay.
The pair married each other on three separate occasions and White Boy Rick star Matthew was conceived shortly after their third wedding.
The star told the outlet: "They were, at times, violent. As I say in the book, that is how they communicated. They were divorced twice, married three times, I mean, yeah, it was like the Pacific Ocean in a storm."
Earlier this year, Matthew tried to hook-up his widowed mother, 88, with Hugh Grant’s widowed father, 91-year-old James Grant.
As for his own love life, Matthew has been married to Camila Alves since 2012 and they share three children.
Speaking about his wife during a video chat, the Oscar winner said: "I’d always wanted to find my partner, I’d always been looking for a partner, mother, soulmate, best friend… all those things.
