Matthew McConaughey has certainly rebounded from his dramatic 38-pound weight loss back in 2012 for his role in The Dallas Buyer's Club. The Texan heartthrob has a little extra skin these days but he's keeping himself in check with a hearty jog through Malibu.

Now, instead of playing a drug dealer, the actor is in talks to play the father of a drug dealer -- albeit, a different type of dealer than he played in Buyer's Club. This time, the role is in White Boy Rick, about Richard Wershe, Jr., who in the mid-1980s, at 14 years old, became an undercover informant for federal law enforcement by establishing himself as a drug dealer. At age 17, he was found with 17 pounds of cocaine and put in jail for life, but the ethical questions remain regarding law enforcement's responsibility for pushing the minor further into a life of drugs.

McConaughey would play Wershe's father, a blue-collar factory worker. Matt just finished shoring The Dark Tower.
