McConaughey is His Character

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are still filming Surfer Dude in Zuma Beach and Usmagazine reports he spends his free time between takes "sitting outside of his trailer, 'banging on his bongos' and drinking vodka-and-cranberries. Their source reportedly said:

"He will just sit there by himself and play bongos," says the source. "I get the feeling he and his surfer character aren't that different."

The source adds that Matt went up to a bikini-clad extra last week and complimented her on her "positive vibes."

His role in the movie? Stoner surfer of course!

McConaughey and Hudson Escape Deadly Jellyfish

Actress Kate Hudson and actor/naked bongo player Matthew McConaughey had to be evacuated from the set of their new movie when a deadly jellyfish was found on set.

The blond duo are shooting romantic comedy "Fool's Gold" in Queensland, Australia, and were preparing to act out their final scene in Hervey Bay when a marine expert spotted the Irukandji jellyfish. Everyone, including the cast and crew, was evacuated until the deadly creature was disposed of.

Hudson's publicist, Fiona Searson says, "We have a marine expert to ensure everyone's safe and he found the jellyfish...."It's an unusual problem to come across. Only in Australia, I suppose."

The Irukandji jellyfish is only about the size of a peanut but has been described by experts as one of the most deadly creatures alive.
