Alright, alright, alright! Matthew McConaughey is returning to his alma mater the University of Texas at Austin to teach a film class this fall, the university announced on Thursday, June 30. 
 
 The Oscar-winning actor, 46, will coteach the class with Hunger Games director Gary Ross and university lecturer Scott Rice. McConaughey and Ross will take 30 lucky students “behind the scenes” of their recently released film Free State of Jones through recorded videos and one on-campus visit, according to the San Antonio Express-News. The movie is about a Confederate Army medic who gets branded as a deserter and is forced to run away, finding refuge with runaway slaves. 
 
 “He’s in the movies. He’s on the field. Now, Matthew McConaughey is in the classroom,” UT Austin wrote in a video on its Facebook page that introduced the school’s new professor. 
 
 The higher level class, which is part of the Moody College of Communications, will be open to juniors and seniors, and there are no prerequisites or fees to take the once-a-week course. 
 
 This is the second time McConaughey is coteaching this course. A similar class that showed students the filmmaking process for Free State of Jones was offered during the spring 2016 semester, but students could not take photos or videos and had to sign nondisclosures since the film had not yet been released. 
 
 The 1993 University of Texas graduate — who got his degree in radio, television and film — frequently returns to the campus for the Longhorns football games. Back in September 2014, he gave a motivational speech to the players and their coach to pump them up before a big game against the University of Kansas.

 McConaughey is headed back to the University of Texas at Austin, his alma mater, this fall to teach a filmmaking class, the university announced Thursday morning. 
 
 McConaughey will take students "behind the scenes" of his upcoming film Free State of Jones through recorded videos and at least one on-campus visit, Lauren Phillips, public affairs representative for the Moody College of Communications, told MySA.com Thursday. 
 
 He will be joined in the videos by Gary Ross, the director of the Hunger Games, and the duo will admit 30 students into the higher-level class.

 McConaughey and Ross, accompanied by Rice, will show students clips from the movie and followed by recorded videos explaining why it was filmed that way, Phillips said. 
 
 This will be the second time McConaughey will co-teach this course with university lecturer Scott Rice. During the spring 2016 semester, students could take the 3-hour class. Phillips said that not too many photos or videos could be taken during the class because Free State of Jones had not yet been released. 
 
 Students had to sign a nondisclosure form as well, Phillips said.

 The class is an upper-level division course, so freshmen and sophomores will not be able to register, she said. But there are no special prerequisites or fees to take the once-a-week class. 
 
 The Oscar-winning UT alum often visits the university, giving pep talks to the football team and attending games.

 A barber in a coma for six days following a horrific car crash woke up speaking fluent FRENCH - and thinking he was Matthew McConaughey. 
 
 Rory Curtis, 25, suffered terrible injuries when the vehicle he was driving hit a lorry before six cars ploughed into him during torrential rain on the M42. 
 
 Firefighters battled to free him from the wreckage for 40 minutes at the scene in Tamworth, Staffordshire, before he was airlifted hospital.

 Doctors found he had suffered a multifocal intracranial brain haemorrhage, which meant his vessels had burst and blood was leaking into his brain. 
 
 The promising semi-pro footballer remained in a coma at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital for six days while medics battled around the clock to save his life. 
 
 Incredibly, when he finally came round Rory started speaking to nurses in fluent French - despite not studying the language since school. 
 
 In his head he had also convinced himself he was Hollywood A-list actor Matthew McConaughey.

 Rory, from Redditch, said: "It's quite bizarre to say the least. 
 
 "I didn't even do French at GCSE so haven't studied it since Year 9 - then all of a sudden I'm fluent in it. 
 
 "I can't explain how it happened. It's incredible really. 
 
 "I don't remember coming round but my family said one of the nurses was from Africa and spoke French and I was having conversations with her. 
 
 "I was just casually chatting away about how I was feeling in this perfect French accent.

 "My mum and dad were stunned when they got to hospital and the nurse asked them what side of the family was French. 
 
 "And then I was sitting there spouting a foreign language from my hospital bed acting all French. 
 
 "It wasn't me at all. 
 
 "I wasn't really that good at it at school, so I don't how my brain has managed to do what is has. I don't know how I know it - I just do. 
 
 "Also, in my head I thought I was Matthew McConaughey.

 "When I went to the toilet I went to look in the mirror and I was shocked because I didn't look like him, I didn't know what I was looking at. 
 
 "Then slowly over time it eventually clicked and I thought "he is an actor, what am I on about? 
 
 "But at times I was in hospital thinking I can't wait to get out of here and back to filming movies. 
 
 "I was convinced I was him and that I had his good looks as well - I know it was hopeful thinking really." 
 
 Rory was treated with an experimental drug after his family were approached by the National Institute for Health Research Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology Research Centre.

 He became only the second person in Britain to have the treatment - which drew upon the Ministry of Defence's expertise with injured soldiers. 
 
 He made a miraculous recovery and was allowed home just two months after the accident in August 2012 but faced months of rehab. 
 
 Now he has now retrained as a barber and is learning to teach hairdressing himself while he works at his aunt's salon in Birmingham. 
 
 Rory, who had trials with Manchester United at the age of 14, said he is convinced his recovery is down to the experimental drug. 
 
 He added: "I feel it made a difference to me. 
 
 "Because I don't remember the crash, it doesn't feel like I've had a brain injury. Apart from obviously being able to now speak French. 
 
 Mum Vera, 57, said: "He is so lucky to be alive. When I saw him, I felt the most despair at not being able to help him."
– Can we get an "all right, all right, all right" for the University of Texas at Austin's new film instructor? The college announced Thursday that Matthew McConaughey will team up with Gary Ross, the director of his new film, Free State of Jones, and a university instructor to teach a film class at his alma mater this fall, Us Weekly reports. "He's in the movies. He's on the field. Now, Matthew McConaughey is in the classroom," says a post celebrating "Professor McConaughey" on UT's Facebook page. His instruction, however, will be provided via recorded videos, though with at least one on-campus visit. Thirty juniors and seniors will get a "behind-the-scenes" glimpse at how the movie was made, with McConaughey and Ross, who also directed The Hunger Games, showing clips from the movie and then delving into why certain scenes were shot the way they were, per the San Antonio Express-News. It's McConaughey's second stint at UT for this class, which he also taught in the spring amid lots of nondisclosure forms because the movie hadn't come out yet. (McConaughey does pretty well with higher-learning institutions.)
