McConaughey greeted them at the door with a big smile on his face.
“Matthew goes, ‘Yeah, you gotta come in,'” Hathaway recalled. “Matthew turns around, again (with) a smile and goes, ‘The party was last night’.”

Hathaway was impressed with McConaughey since day one. “It’s our first day on ‘Interstellar’. I don’t know what to expect, but I meet you and you are present. You seem so cool and you seem so sincere and I walk away and I think, Wow, that guy’s just amazing.”
