Matthew McConaughey has confessed that he earned less money than usual for his role in The Lincoln Lawyer.
The 41-year-old revealed that he would have received a bigger paycheck for starring in a romantic comedy, but felt the need to step out of the genre and tackle a project by which he was genuinely "excited".
He told Contactmusic: "The role came around to me. But I will say I made less money than a romantic comedy. So that is a measure of saying that not many movies like this can get made.
"This was something I was really excited about doing and something I didn't feel like I had done before. I was reading some other scripts and some of them were rom-coms and I just didn't feel like doing that right now. I may do them again. I just didn't feel like doing them right now.
He added: "I loved the consequences that were in this movie. I love the traps the guy was in. I wanted to be the guy getting out of those traps."
The Lincoln Lawyer, which also stars Ryan Phillippe and Marisa Tomei, is currently playing in UK and US cinemas.
