The Sahara actor was seen with bandages over his left eye yesterday (17.12.07) after he suffered injuries training to play a heavy-for-hire in new comedy The Grackle.

McConaughey’s representative said: “Matthew was doing training, based on the principles of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, when he suffered a cut face which required medical treatment and stitches.”

The 38-year-old actor is to play a brute who hires himself out for USD250-a-time to settle disputes for people who can’t afford a lawyer. McConaughey is currently dating Brazilian model Camila Alves.

The party-loving actor spent the summer living in a trailer on a Malibu beach but left the rustic abode for a hotel after Alves allegedly refused to move in.

The pair checked into Malibu’s Polaroid Beach House hotel in July and began house-hunting together.
