Matthew McConaughey hails Nick Foles in newspaper ad

Matthew McConaughey is congratulating fellow Texan and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles on his Super Bowl win.

The actor took out a full-page ad in the Austin American-Statesman on Sunday. It reads: “From one local to another, Congratulations Nick Foles. just keep livin, Matthew McConaughey.”

McConaughey was born in Uvalde, west of San Antonio. The Super Bowl MVP was born and raised in Austin.

McConaughey is a Washington Redskins fan, but that didn’t stop him from showing support for a division rival.

“Just keep livin” is McConaughey’s personal mantra and the name of his nonprofit health and wellness organisation.
