INTERVIEW TO MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY

Last summer, when I was on the beach in Tarifa (Cádiz), I met my favorite actor who I have liked since I was a child: Matthew Mcconaughey.

He is very handsome. I am sure that all of you know him. He is an actor and film and American television producer.

I asked him if he would like to have lunch with me because I wanted to ask him some questions as he was my favorite actor.

Firstly, I asked him what his most successful film was and he said that ``Dazed and Confused´´ in 1993. Also, I asked him what his family was like and where he was born and he said that he was the youngest of three boys, his mother was kindergarten teacher, and his father was a gas-station owner.

He told me that he had had a long career. First, he appeared in television commercials and some small roles. Then, he co-starred with Sarah Jessica Parker in the romantic comedy Failure to Launch, which was reasonably successful at the box office. On January 21, 2008, McConaughey became the new spokesman for the national radio campaign and finally, he was one of the presenters at the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony.

He told me many things about his career but I also wanted to know something about his private life. He told me that his personal motto is "Just Keep Livin" because he helped teenager’s life.

Finally I asked him if he was married and he told me that he met his Brazilian model and television performer Camila Alves and they had two children.

I thanked him very much that he answered me all those questions and I told him that he was very charming and I seemed him very handsome and very lovely with his family.

ST THOMAS BECKET

St Thomas Becket

St Thomas, or Thomas à Becket, served as chancellor of England from 1155 to 1162, during which time he won the trust of King Henry II. In 1162, the king appointed him Archbishop of Canterbury. After he refused to give the royal court powers over the church, Henry sent him into exile. He returned in 1170 and was murdered in the cathedral by Henry's knights. Roman Catholics venerate him as a saint.
He was born in 1118 in Cheapside, London, Eng and he died on Dec. 29, 1170, Canterbury, Kent; he also was canonized 1173; feast day December 29) Archbishop of Canterbury (1162–70). The son of a Norman merchant, he served as chancellor of England (1155–62) under Henry II, whose entire trust he won. A brilliant administrator, diplomat, and military strategist, he aided the king in increasing the royal power. Resistant to the Gregorian reform movement that asserted the autonomy of the church, Henry hoped to reinforce royal control of the church by appointing Becket archbishop of Canterbury in 1162. Becket, however, embraced his new duties devoutly and opposed royal power in the church, especially proclaiming the right of offending clerics to be tried in ecclesiastical courts. The king issued the Constitutions of Clarendon (1164) listing royal rights over the church, and he summoned the archbishop to trial. Becket fled to France and remained in exile until 1170, when he returned to Canterbury and was murdered in the cathedral by four of Henry's knights, traditionally said to be acting in response to the king's angry words. Becket's tomb, which was visited by Henry in an act of penance, became a site of pilgrimage.
