Watch Actor Matthew McConaughey Delivers a Special Message to Jimmie Johnson

Matthew McConaughey recorded a special video message for Jimmie Johnson and its exactly as wholesome as you’d expect from McConaughey being McConaughey.

The actor who is famously a Texas boy through and through has been supporting various racing events. His message to Johnson was full of the kind of positive energy that makes you understand why people find him charming.

NASCAR shared the video which quickly made the rounds on social media.

Johnson is a seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion transitioning to IndyCar racing. Having celebrity support during that transition probably feels nice even if youre already a legend in your own sport.

Sports legends get recognized by folks outside their immediate world and thats always a good look.

McConaugheys message was supportive and enthusiastic without being over the top. He has this way of being genuine that doesnt translate well to description. You just have to watch it.

The intersection of Hollywood and motorsports is well established. Celebrities showing up at races is nothing new. But personalized messages feel different than just sitting in a VIP box.

Johnson responded graciously because hes also that kind of person. Two Texas guys being wholesome about racing. Sometimes the internet is nice.
