10 Actors You Won't Believe Have Never Made A Sequel

5. Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey used to be one of the most irritating actors in Hollywood, which pretty much primed him as the sort of guy who'd turn up in sequel after sequel to a bunch of awful movies that happened to gross a lot of money. And yet... nothing. Seriously: believe it or not, but Matthew "alright, alright, alright" McConaughey has never been in a follow-up to any of his movies. The stuff of complete madness, right? McConaughey, who won an Oscar for Best Actor last year for his work in Dallas Buyers Club, has spent the last few years reinventing himself, with one of his best ever performances featured in Magic Mike, whereupon he plays a male stripper called Dallas. It was rumoured that the upcoming Magic Mike XXL would feature McConaughey, marking his first ever sequel role, but alas, the actor has since pulled out. If He Had To Make A Sequel? There's not a lot of choice, really, so Sahara it is.
