McConaughey's Lost Weekend

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.

76. He is the sexiest man alive, but I would rather have him sober so he can remember every detail of what I do to him.

79. I absolutely LOVE Matthew McConaughey, and also agree that he is indeed the sexiest man alive. However, that shot of him lookng 'dazed and confused' is extremely unattractive. I'd like to think that maybe this is his way of expressing the fact that he misses Penelope...either way he should remember that he has an image to uphold and if he wants to exhibit such behavior, do so in private.

80. Go Matt! He is just letting off some steam I am sure. And Ohhhh How steamy he is. After any long relationship, it's time to do a little partying and catching up on your wild side!!

Can't wait for his next flick, whatever and whenever that maybe.

87. He wants to be just an 'average joe,' partying it up! He's so damn good looking and so damn normal! He didn't want to hear about his 'start status' from this girl, he just wanted to hang, and party!

88. Matthew is soooo fine. Just wish I could have been there and having as much fun as he was having.

89. He's saying. What the hell is that earring? Or that ear for that matter?

90. What does anyone see in this man? Aside from a well-toned body, he's not very impressive: Not a stand-out actor; appears to be an A$$hole to women in relationships; Not overly interesting or smart. Should I go on? He's the kind of actor that less-than-intellectual women are attracted to... Give him another 5 or 10 years and his true colors will REALLY show--he's just isn't able to maintain a healthy long-term relationship...and he'll be a drunk like Gary Busey.
