“Magic Mike” Star Films Scenes For His New Movie In The Hamptons

On Thursday, October 8th, actor Matthew McConaughey filmed scenes for his latest film, “Gold,” in Southampton Village. Based on true events, the film follows an unlikely duo as they embark on a trip to the Indonesian jungle in pursuit of gold.

For the scenes filmed in Southampton, “Gold” shot on Meadow Lane, including at the helipad. The actor wore a peach polo shirt, Ray Ban aviators and khaki pants while filming and is no longer in his “Magic Mike” form. McConaughey was barely recognizable, undergoing a dramatic transformation for the role of Kenny Wells that includes packing on a few pounds and a balding hairstyle.

Directed by Stephen Gaghan, “Gold” also stars Édgar Ramírez, Bryce Dallas Howard and Rachael Taylor.
