Matthew McConaughey writing book based on life-changing adventures

Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey didn’t want to write an ordinary celebrity book.

“This is not a traditional memoir, or an advice book, but rather a playbook based on adventures in my life,” McConaughey, 50, said in a statement about ‘Greenlights,’ which comes out October 20. “Adventures that have been significant, enlightening, and funny, sometimes because they were meant to be but mostly because they didn’t try to be.”

According to Crown, which announced the book Wednesday, the actor known for films ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ and ‘Magic Mike’ will draw upon a diary he has kept for 35 years.
