Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey didn't speak to his mother for almost a decade after she developed a habit of spilling intimate details about him to the press.

The 52-year-old actor shot to fame in the 1990s with roles in films like 'A Time To Kill' and 'Contact' but said that because of his status, he and his mother Mary ended up becoming "estranged" for a period of time as she would spill intimate details about him to the media, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
