Headline: Matthew McConaughey reveals he nearly quit acting

Caption: The actor has revealed that he considered other career avenues while he took a two-year break from Hollywood several years ago, telling how he took a self-enforced rest from acting after he felt he'd become trapped in the 'rom com' genre. "I've usually zigged when I felt like Hollywood wanted me to zag. When I had my rom-com years, there was only so much bandwidth I could give to those, and those were some solid hits for me," Matthew told Interview magazine. "But I wanted to try some other stuff."
