Believe it or not, long before Matthew McConaughey made a name for himself on the silver screen, he actually contemplated a completely different life for himself.

"When I was going to college, that's what I thought I was going to do, be a criminal defense lawyer," the actor reveals in this exclusive look at a behind-the-scenes clip featured on tomorrow's Blu-ray/DVD release of The Lincoln Lawyer. "Luckily, I changed my career path. I prefer this now. I can go and be a lawyer for three or four months, then quit."

Thanks for changing your mind, Matty. Fool's Gold just wouldn't have been the same without ya!
