The actor did not exactly hit rock bottom, but he had his difficulties. After gaining success in Dazed and Confused, Matthew continued to get roles in various romantic comedies like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which typecast him as the shallow hunk. He decided to break free from that stereotype and overhauled his image by taking complex roles in True Detective, Dallas Buyers Club—which won him an Oscar—and Interstellar.
