Matthew McConaughey shares a hilarious incident that happened on his 35th birthday party when he got so high that he missed it.

“I think it was my 35th birthday,” he remembers while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “And this was right about the time when the old Mexican dirt weed that you would just pull a toke off a joint, laugh, giggle, get the munchies, then maybe go hook up with somebody turned into a little more, ‘Oh!’ A little hydroponic. A little stronger.”

He continues, “I take a toke, and I drive myself to my birthday. I made it to my birthday. I pulled up in front. I did not get out of the truck.”

“Why, exactly? “Because I decided that what was more important than going into my birthday was to sit in my truck and listen to Janet Jackson’s ‘That’s the Way Love Goes’ 34 freaking times in a row,” he said as Jimmy Kimmel silently laughed next to him. “And cry. And think it was the most beautiful, wonderful song.”

“And I missed my birthday! I finally went in, and they had all left!” Matthew said as everyone laughed.
