Matthew McConaughey, Wife Mark 26th Anniversary of Infamous Naked Bongos Arrest with Tequila Tribute

Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves recently commemorated the 26th anniversary of his infamous 1999 "naked bongo" arrest with humor and tequila through their company, Pantalones Organic Tequila. They released a playful video featuring a dramatic reading of the original police report, narrated by Steve Zirnkilton, the iconic voice of Law & Order, with McConaughey playing bongos fully clothed while Camila reads the report aloud. The incident involved McConaughey drumming naked at his Austin home after a weekend of partying, which led to police intervention and his arrest for disturbing the peace and possession. McConaughey has embraced the event as part of his free-spirited persona, even incorporating it into his memoir "Greenlights." To mark the occasion, the couple also introduced a signature cocktail called Pantsless & Famous, a nod to the original Naked & Famous drink, blending the celebration with their tequila brand. The lighthearted approach and ongoing references highlight McConaughey's laid-back attitude toward the episode, turning what could have been a scandal into a symbol of individuality and self-acceptance.
