Actor Matthew McConaughey, best known for his work in HBO’s “True Detective” and the films “Interstellar” and “Dazed and Confused,” has been confirmed as the keynote speaker for the Spring 2015 University Commencement.
The A-list actor’s appearance is part of the University’s “new tradition” of hosting an “impressive and spectacular” commencement ceremony, according to the commencement website.
The ceremony, where President and Chancellor Renu Khator will confer degrees upon all graduating students, will be Friday, May 15 at 7 p.m. at TDECU Stadium. A student processional will take place before the ceremony at 6 p.m.
We will just have to hope that he doesn’t flash “Hook ’em horns” from the stage. What kind of incompetent moron selected a Longhorn to be our first big commencement speaker?
Hook’em horns! He’s the biggest UT guy out there! Must be a Longhorn on the UH staff! Probably the President herself!
Isn’t he driving on some highway talking to himself in a Lincoln automobile.
MKZ! Sick car!
Looks like he’s seen the error of his ways and is coming on board
Flash them horns and see what happens son. Keep your ass in Austin. Why we paying all this money to this dude? Why we can’t get Denzel or somebody good?
