Matthew McConaughey reveals his father died during sex: No one and nothing could

Matthew McConaughey has shared details of his parents' volatile relationship and how it ended.

The Oscar winner revealed in his memoir Greenlights that his father, James McConaughey, died having sex with his mother, Kay. This is what he himself had predicted, as the actor recalls.

"I received a call from my mother. 'Your father died', he told me. My knees were cut," McConaughey wrote in an excerpt shared by People.

"I couldn't believe it. He was my father. No one or nothing could kill him. Except the mother. He always told me and my brothers, 'Guys, when I die, I'll be making love to your mother.' And so it happened. He had a heart attack."

The Beach Bum actor, who was born after his parents married each other for the third time, described their relationship as "the Pacific Ocean in a storm."

"They were, at times, violent," he told People.

His father died in 1992. His mother is now 88 years old.
