McConaughey Steals Wilson's Thunder (Role)
Variety reports a muscley, shirtless Matt McConaughey has been added to the cast of Ben Stiller's upcoming comedy Tropic Thunder, taking a role formerly filled by Owen Wilson prior to his attempted suicide. Though the part is only a small, uncredited cameo, the loss must surely be making Wilson wonder if it's all worth it. I mean, if you're so easily replaced, will anyone care if you're gone, forever? With close friends Stiller and Jack Black shooting the film in Hawaii, you'll just be sitting around alone. Desperate, abandoned, and alone. Even though you can't shoot with them, and while Kate Hudson has surely moved on to a man as well-built and good-looking as McConaughey (your replacement, don't forget), perhaps there's still some way you can get all their attention while teaching them a lesson...
Too soon?
