McConaughey is gorgeous: Jessica Chastain

Actress Jessica Chastain heaped praise on actor Matthew McConaughey's looks.

The actress gushed over McConaughey, who is her co-star in her forthcoming film "Interstellar", at an event when he was presented with the 2014 American Cinematheque Award in California recently, reports contactmusic.com.

"It was 'A Time to Kill'. The closing speech and he's the defence attorney and he stops and he kind of puts his hand on his face and he chokes back his emotions and I remember watching that moment," she said.

"Before that film, I thought, 'Oh, that man's gorgeous', and then when I saw that it was, 'Yes, he's gorgeous, but he's an actor. That was in the beginning and I've been a fan ever since," she added.
