16 Nov Matthew McConaughey Celebrated His 48th Birthday Handing Out Turkeys To The Less Fortunate

If you could spend your birthday doing anything you wanted (and money was no object), what would you do? I’m assuming it would be something expensive, lavish and extravagant. You’d really want to push the boat out and give your guests (and of course yourself) the time of their lives.

Maybe if you were really determined to go all out, your ultimate birthday celebration would look a little like this:

But then again, if you had all the money in the world, fancy parties would be dime a dozen by now. Especially if you were an in-demand celebrity – someone like Matthew McConaughey.

Well, when Matthew celebrated his 48th birthday on November 4, he didn’t spend it quite the way you would expect him to.

So what did he do on his special day? Well, believe it or not, he spent his birthday delivering poultry to the less fortunate in Lawrenceburg, a town in Kentucky.

Lawrenceburg is home to the Wild Turkey Distillery, and the 48-year-old actor is actually the company’s creative director.

Matthew led a philanthropic project with the whiskey brand, a project which included 250 other volunteers.

The company delivered a whopping 4,500 free turkeys to the Lawrenceburg locals in the giving spirit of Thanksgiving.

And yes, it was led by the same actor who has received plenty of critical acclaim for his roles in movies like Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club, The Wolf of Wall Street and True Detective.
