Well all right, all right, all right. That’s what we imagine Matthew McConaughey saying as he and his wife Camila Alves McConaughey loaded up their white pickup truck to deliver more than 100,000 masks to Texas hospitals in rural areas this past weekend. Because that’s just the kind of celebrity Matty is.The actor shared his goodwill with workers and fans alike on May 22 when he posted about his most recent charitable act on Instagram. “Thanks to @lincoln for donating 110 thousand masks — me and @camilamcconaughey hitting the road to get em to rural hospitals in need across Texas,” he posted alongside a picture of his loaded up ride. Naturally he and Camila were also sporting masks. As one does these days.

In early April the couple also distributed roughly 80,000 surgical and KN95 masks to frontline workers between Austin and New Orleans. “It was important for us to make sure that here in Austin, not just the hospitals got them, but also the police department and the fire department as well. In this moment, we’ve got to find ways to help both sides because they’re all on the front line right now and we can’t afford to lose any of them,” Camila told People at the time. “We’re doing in-person delivery because I need to know the quality control is there.”Personalized, quality control deliveries aren’t the only things keeping the couple busy in quarantine. The parents recently grabbed their kids—sons Levi, 11, and Livingston, 7, along with daughter Vida, 10—to call out a virtual game of Bingo for seniors at the Spectrum Retirement Communities. Before that McConaughey had also Zoomed into a faculty discussion at UT Austin’s Journalism school to help lift everyone’s spirits.Since quarantine hit the True Detective alum has also been taking time to reflect on some of his more memorable roles with a series of Instagram videos dubbed McConaughey Takes. So far he’s tackled films like Mud, The Wedding Planner, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Magic Mike, not to mention The Wolf of Wall Street. While those roles are all fine and well, he has yet to give the fans what many of them have been calling for in the comments section since he started his series: a look back at Dazed and Confused. We can't always get everything we want, guys.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Tiny dog fearlessly tries to steal husky's bed in epic tug-of-war match [/video_embed]
