Patient Man

Matthew McConaughey better be in the mood to share his weight loss-for-a-role diet with Gael García Bernal.

The Mexican actor is in negotiations for a part in Dallas Buyer’s Club, the story of a redneck with AIDS (McConaughey) who starts smuggling drugs into the United States to help patients with HIV fight off the virus.

Production on the movie is set to begin in New Orleans next month.
