Green Lights
Hollywood megastar Matthew McConaughey has released a brand new memoir called Green Lights.
In it, he opens up about some of his most traumatic childhood experiences.
As quoted by MailOnline, the actor revealed he was, 'knocked unconscious,' in the back of a van and, 'molested by a man,' when he was 18.
Matthew didn't go into detail on the particular incident.
However, he did say he's, 'never felt like a victim,' in life.

He elaborated, 'I have a lot of proof that the world is conspiring to make me happy.'
In the same memoir, Matthew revealed he was blackmailed into losing his virginity when he was just 15.
'I was certain I was going to hell for the premarital sex,' he wrote.
Matthew added, 'Today, I am merely certain that I hope that’s not the case.'
His support for sexual assault charities
The Fools Gold actor has been doing all he can to stop sexual assault.
Matthew has worked with his old school, the University of Texas in Austin, to prevent on-campus sexual assault.
According to MailOnline, he got involved in the university's Rape Elimination Program.
As part of the initiative, he drove students home in a buggy after dark.
In 2015, he signed on as a co-teacher, and just last year, he became an acting professor.
He works in the department of Radio-Television-Film at the college as the Script to Screen instructor.
