"True Detective" fans who love the Matthew McConaughey's Rustin Cohle, we have some bad news for you. It seems that he won't return in the potential "True Detective" season 2.

McConaughey said "We won't be back for season two. Season one was finite. Eight episodes, that's the [end of conversation]." During an interview at the 86th Academy Awards backstage.

McConaughey then discussed the difference between working on "True Detective" and the film that won him his Best Actor Oscar for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club":

"True Detective was basically like a six‑month film. It was one director, eight episodes, 450 pages, basically a 450‑page script. Six months shooting on film. Very considerate. Much more considerate than Dallas Buyers Club. We shot that with one camera, no lights and a tiny crew in 25 days. I was going for the quality and the experience. I don't know what this means, I don't know what the result will be. What can I get an experience out of, Matthew? That's the question I was asking myself."

Speaking of asking himself, Matthew McConaughey thanked himself in his Best Actor Oscars 2014 acceptance speech for being a his own hero growing up.


Matthew McConaughey - Acceptance Speech...

"And to my hero. That's who I chase. Now when I was 15 years old, I had a very important person in my life come to me and say 'who's your hero?' And I said, 'I don't know, I gotta think about that. Give me a couple of weeks.' I come back two weeks later, this person comes up and says 'who's your hero?' I said, 'I thought about it. You know who it is? It's me in 10 years.' So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'So, are you a hero?' And I was like, 'not even close. No, no, no.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Because my hero's me at 35.' So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. I'm never gonna be my hero. I'm not gonna attain that. I know I'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing."
