Matthew McConaughey says ‘zero gravity’ experience when flight dropped 4,000 feet was a ‘hell of a scare’

Matthew McConaughey detailed the "suspended disbelief" he and his wife Camila Alves experienced last month when their Lufthansa flight suddenly dropped 4,000 feet.  "It's zero gravity," the "Dallas Buyers Club" actor told Kelly Ripa on her SiriusXM podcast "Let’s Talk off Camera" in a preview of Wednesday’s episode, Entertainment Tonight reported. "Your red wine and the glass and the plates that your food was on are all suspended, floating, still just in the air.

And to look at it for that long, which wasn't that long — one, two, three, four — and then everything just comes crashing down." "It was a hell of a scare," he added. "A 100% feeling of knowing you have no way to get control of this situation in the moment." The 53-year-old said his tray table held him in his seat since he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when the plane dropped.  "There was not a seatbelt warning right before it happened.

I just immediately reached over, made sure Camila had her seatbelt on," he added. He said that they held hands wondering if another drop was coming.  "Another one did come," he said. "It was odd.

You hear people's reactions. Some people were ghost silent. Some people had big bursts of laughter. And it was not like, 'Oh, this is fun.' It was like, 'I'm in shock.'" "And then, you know how it is on a plane — you see the flight attendant not looking extremely confident, and you’re like, ‘Uh oh.’" Ripa added that her eyes immediately go to the flight attendants in a potential emergency.
