Matthew McConaughey loses his temper with paparazzo at triathlon
Matthew McConaughey angrily confronted a paparazzo after a triathlon in Malibu, California when the over-eager snapper got too close to the actor’s newborn son Levi.
The Fool’s Gold star took part in the gruelling event on Sunday, running, swimming and cycling his way through the tough endurance race alongside new mom Jennifer Lopez.
After completing the race, McConaughey was congratulated by his girlfriend Camila Alves who had been cheering him on from the sidelines while holding their tot. But the star soon lost his temper with a photographer after he began to follow the pair along the beach, upsetting Alves by taking snaps up close.
In a video posted on TMZ.com, McConaughey can be seen approaching the snapper, telling him to “back off” several times.
It is not the first time the actor has had trouble with photographers in Malibu – two local surfers were charged with battering a paparazzo who got too close to the star while he was riding the waves.

It is fair game. He can get mad if he wants to. If he wasn’t famous he would still get pissed. If you are willing to take and sell the pictures you should be willing to lose a few teeth if you cross a line. He is a highly paid professional and because he is an actor does not make him property of the public and any punk with a camera. These guys are not photographers.

If you are willing to go out and corss a line with a private citizen whose job happens to pay him well and keep him in the public eye, you should be willing to lose a few teeth. You do that with my kid and you will get hurt. Why is Matthew and his girlfriend any different. Ease up. Any ass can take a picture but it doesn’t make you a photographer.
