Why Matthew McConaughey trademarked his famous “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay” phrase
Matthew McConaughey has plans for the future.
In fact, the Wedding Planner star has taken steps to prevent artificial intelligence from using her image or likeness in the future.
Matthew has filed eight trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing his lawyer, including the image of him smiling while saying his signature line, “Alright, alright, alright,” made famous by the 1993 film Dazed and Confused.
According to Variety, the 56-year-old said, “Just keep living, right?” According to WSJ, all applications have been approved.
“My team and I want to know that if my voice or likeness is used, it is because I have approved and consented to it,” the Dallas Buyers Club star said in a statement to the Journal on January 13. “We want to create clear lines of ownership with consent and attribution in the world of AI.”
