Watch: Matthew McConaughey Plays 'All Right or All Wrong'

Regardless of the transformation, Matthew McConaughey can't help but look alright, alright.

While taking on the role of gold prospector Kenny Wells in the upcoming movie Gold, the Oscar winner added on 47 pounds to his typically athletic frame. But during shooting, some crazy rumors just happened to pop up about his appearance.

So what's all right and what's all wrong? Let Matthew explain himself.

Before the film hits theatres everywhere January 27, E! News sat down with the actor who admitted a fat suit was a possibility for the role.

"I had been putting on some weight but we had a fat suit and over the weeks of trying to figure out the fat suit to make it work, I really started to put on the weight," he shared with us. "So we were like, let's ditch the fat suit and go with what the God gave us."

As for that nude scene where moviegoers get to see Matthew's backside, what's the truth behind speculation of a butt double? It's all wrong.

"Oh that's my butt alright, alright," he shared. "That's my large walrus ass."

Earlier on in our interview, Matthew admitted that packing on the pounds for a movie role wasn't as difficult as some may thing. Perhaps it helps if you love your cheeseburgers .

"My favorite food is cheeseburgers, so I was eating cheeseburgers all the time. I was making cheeseburgers. I was trying out all these fast food restaurants that I've never had, or I've only had one time," he explained. "Not that much sweets. Cheeseburgers and beer will do the trick."

As for that shorter hairstyle, some admirers may be wondering what Matthew's wife Camila Alves thinks of the look. You have to watch the video to get the truth, alright?
