November 14 was National Pickle Day, and actor Matthew McConaughey chose the occasion to celebrate like no one else could. This is because Matthew McConaughey carefully picked a throwback image of himself nude and holding a jar of pickles. It’s certainly only something he could have pulled off for the national holiday.

It’s something that his 6.8 million followers also went wild for as a result.

It’s certainly great to see this side of the actor on social media. Both his openness for such photography and his love of pickles are no doubt appreciated by fans. And, of course, it’s an interesting change of pace from a star associated with such hits as Dazed and Confused and The Wolf of Wall Street as well as the HBO series True Detective. Then again, given his early appearance in the cult film Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, perhaps it isn’t hard to believe he has such a loveably crazy side to him.
