Matthew McConaughey is taking a stroll down memory lane.
The 50-year-old Oscar winner recently watched his audition tape for the film "Dazed and Confused" for the first time and shared his reaction on Twitter.
The movie was one of McConaughey's first Hollywood gigs and is credited with launching his career.
According to IMDb, "Dazed and Confused" is only the actor's third role, the first being an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" followed by a Trisha Yearwood music video.
In the audition tape, McConaughey could be seen reciting the iconic "be a lot cooler if you did" scene while feigning driving a car, as well as the scene in which he delivers the line "I keep getting older, but they stay the same age." Both lines of often quoted from the film.
While watching the clips, McConaughey chuckled and smiled.
