That's better! Shirtless Matthew McConaughey is his usual beefy self as he joins Reese Witherspoon in new film Mud

He shriveled to a meager 135lbs for his starring role in the Dallas Buyers Club.
But Matthew McConaughey looks far healthier as a fugitive convict in Jeff Nichols drama Mud, filmed before his shocking weight loss.
The 43-year-old actor peels off his shirt before his drastic slim-down and attempts to reunite with his lover, played by a sombre Reese Witherspoon, as he runs from the law.

The film tells the story of two teenage boys (Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland) who stumble across McConaughey's character. Refusing to reveal his identity, he goes only by Mud.

The vagabond eventually wins their trust and the boys form a pact to help him evade the bounty hunters on his trail and to reunite him with a woman, Juniper, whose affection he dangerously craves.

The two-and-a-half minute clip opens as the camera skims over a lake and a boat washes ashore.

'There are things you can get away with in this world and there are things you can't,' McConaughey narrates, conjuring his native Texas drawl. 

The two boys, Ellis and Neckbone, run onto a deserted beach, where they find an abandoned boat perched in a tree after a flood - only to find someone is living inside.
