When 'Dallas Buyers Club' had no financiers

Matthew McConaughey, who is on the biggest high of his career after winning the Golden Globes & Screen Actors Guild Award for his role in Dallas Buyers Club where he portrays a Homophobic AIDS Patient going against the system to survive, recently admitted to the fact that nobody wanted to finance Dallas Buyers Club with him attached.
After a string of rom-coms, which didn’t do much for the actor's career, he’s now in the running as Oscar favourite at the 86th Academy Awards. He took a complete reinvention with some seriously good cinema like The Lincoln Lawyer, Magic Mike and Mud. McConaughey still acknowledges that, at one point, nobody wanted to support Dallas Buyers Club with him in the starring role. "I remember saying, okay I want to do this, but nobody wants to finance this right now with you in it. But I said, Don't let this go," said the actor.
