Surf-Tards Come To Matthew McConaughey’s Rescue

Matthew McConaughey - the actor known for perpetulally being shirtless and for appearing in whatever random movie that pays him more than a mil – has a new fan club. Apparently McConaughey found himself the object of what looked like an old fashion rumble this Saturday in Malibu when a gang of surfers came to his aide and attacked paparazzi who where sneaking shots of the movie star as he was simply trying to ride some waves.  According to E!:

“One shutterbug told police that a mob of surfers approached the photogs near Paradise Cove where the often-shirtless actor was surfing with friends. The surfers demanded everyone stop filming and taking pictures, but when that didn't happen, things got physical.

"[The surfers] formed a semicircle in front of his camera and they said  [McConaughey] didn't want him to film," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told the Los Angeles Times. "They got into an argument, and [the photographer] indicated that he received injuries...[The surfers] took the video camera and threw it in the water."

Wow, what an astonishing display of wolf-like pack behavior and pure man-love.  Check out the video from TMZ.  My favorite part is when the surfers are amping up for the attack and one of them yells “Get a real job,” at a photographer, and then the photographer yells back, “This IS a real job.  What do you do?” 

Meanwhile, as seen in the video, McConaughey was still floating in the water as the brawl broke out.  I’m not sure if pride could’ve been felt while watching this particular group of surfers fight in his honor.  They did seem jobless.  And pudgey.  And they weren’t even surfing.  It’s pretty likely they retreated to their group home after this harrowing display of surf-tardism.
