After being involved in an car accident, Rory Curtis suffered a brain hemorrhage and went into a coma. After 2-weeks he woke up – thinking he was I was Matthew McConaughey.
Curtis, 25, is now saying the worst part of the whole ordeal was finding out he wasn’t McConaughey after looking in a hospital mirror.

“In my head I thought I was Matthew McConaughey.” – “When I went to the toilet I went to look in the mirror and I was shocked because I didn’t look like him, I didn’t know what I was looking at.” “Then slowly over time it eventually clicked and I thought ‘He is an actor, what am I on about?’ But at times I was in hospital thinking I can’t wait to get out of here and back to filming movies.” – “I was sitting there spouting a foreign language from my hospital bed acting all French in their sort of arrogant yet sophisticated way. It wasn’t me at all,” – “The accident changed my outlook on life. I can’t leave the house now without telling everyone I love them and giving them a hug.” h/t gawker
Hey maybe Matthew McConaughey will play Curtis in the telling of his story! Just a thought.
