The many expressions of Matthew McConaughey watching the Olympics

Texas-born Matthew McConaughey is watching the Olympics, and we're watching him. Check out his many expressions as he watched the men's basketball game Aug. 10.

When Texas-born Matthew McConaughey stars in films, we pay attention. When McConaughey teaches film at UT, we pay attention. And when McConaughey watches the Olympics, we pay attention.

On Day 3, McConaughey was noted for sitting alone, for his intensity and (most importantly) for his hook 'em shirt.

He's with his wife Camila Alves and others during his Aug. 10 viewing, but his faces are just as expressive as before.
