McConaughey's Lost Weekend

Posted Jul 7th 2006 1:24PM by TMZ Staff

Matthew McConaughey celebrated his independence from former girlfriend Penelope Cruz with a three-day bender in Costa Rica over the Fourth of July weekend.


Taking a cue from the movie that launched his career, the "Sexiest Man Alive" left much to be desired partying on the beach looking 'dazed and confused.'

Check out pics of Matthew's weekend beach blast.



A barefoot, shirtless, and sweaty Matthew got his groove on by drinking, dancing, writhing on the floor and even shushing one of his fellow vacationers.



Apparently McConaughey recuperated in no time, because just a couple of days later the confirmed bachelor was spotted hanging out with his bike riding buddies Jake Gyllenhaal and Lance Armstrong in Malibu.

31. Dear #9,

Yes, Matthew was playing the bongo drums naked alright...but...and here's the catch: he was with another *guy*. Just the two of them...at least, until the cops showed up.

So knock yourself out.

32. Y'right. Austin's "Elvis." I'm sure it'll all end well.

Who knows...? Maybe he'll look good all bloated in a white leotard with oversized lapels and sideburns.

36. Wow, I haven't seen a train wreck this bad since Tara Reid disintegrated into a drunken mess on the E channel. He looks even worse than that mug shot of Nick Nolte after Nolte's DWI. I hope the Betty Ford clinic has a vacancy for this lost soul.
