Actor Matthew McConaughey has detailed how he got into character for his role as Ron Woodroof in 2013 film Dallas Buyer's Club, having famously shed 50lbs for the job.

Speaking to Joe Rogan in a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, McConaughey discussed the extreme physical transformation he underwent to portray Woodroof, an AIDs patient who smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas to treat his symptoms, also distributing them to others.
