Matthew McConaughey | Dance Remix Adds To Oscar Triumph

Matthew McConaughey‘s chest thump in The Wolf of Wall Street might not have earned him an Oscar for this film, but the internet sure as heck rolled out its red carpet — in the form of virality. And now, thanks to Jonny Wilson a.k.a. Eclectic Method, the thump was turned into a dance remix — even more attention for McConaughey after winning Best Actor Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club while Leonardo DiCaprio, yet again, went home empty handed. Interestingly, this was a spontaneous idea suggested by DiCaprio and was not part of the original script. According to McConaughey:

It’s something I do from time to time to relax myself before a scene, or to get my voice lower, and I’ll do it to whatever the rhythm of the character in the scene. I was doing it before takes, and Leonardo [DiCaprio] had the idea of ‘Why don’t you put that in the scene?’ so I did.
