Matthew McConaughey hypes Austin FC crowd with Wolf of Wall Street chant

A household name across the globe, McConaughey is just as well known for his lead performances as his trademark Texan accent, which saw him dive into football in 2019.

Football, or Soccer, as it's known in the US, is continually growing in popularity to rival the country's traditional sports, and McConaughey jumped in on the trend by purchasing shares in his hometown club Austin FC nearly three years ago.

Austin FC entered Major League Soccer in 2021, and have just begun their second ever season with a 5-0 hammering of FC Cincinnati.

Last year saw Austin finish second-bottom in the Western Conference, but it's no surprise this season has got off to a bang with the club's minority owner in attendance to hype up the crowd.

Taking inspiration from a scene in the 2013 Martin Scorsese hit 'The Wolf of Wall Street', McConaughey mimicked a song from his character Mark Hanna, with the crowd happily joining in.

The scene between McConaughey and movie lead Leonardo Di Caprio became iconic, with many in attendance at the Q2 Stadium following the lead of the on-pitch McConaughey.

The trick certainly worked with Austin FC racking up the biggest win in their professional history seeing them top the table on matchday one.
