I’m touching a tiger….eeeheehehe.
The first trailer for the upcoming action adventure film Gold released today, giving us a glimpse of Matthew McConaughey as Kenny Wells – an unlucky man who teams-up with geologist Michael Acosta (Édgar Ramírez) to search for gold deep in the uncharted jungles of Indonesia. If this doesn’t look like a preview to an Oscar-worthy performance, we don’t know what does.

Watch the first trailer for Gold below:
The seemingly fun and flashy (because, gold) film, directed by Stephen Gaghan (Sryiana) is based on true events, prompting McConaughey to put on the extra pounds and sport a receding hairline, making him almost unrecognizable.
Who is this guy? This is not the man whom we know so well from the Lincoln car commercials and his many Oscar-winning performances. Plus, he is touching a tiger and giggling uncontrollably.
Gaghan recently told Vulture:
“I feel pretty certain that people are gonna be blown away by McConaughey in this film — it’s a complete transformation.“
We’re already blown away, and this is just the trailer…
