Video: Matthew McConaughey had by far the best reaction to the new Star Wars trailer

Matthew McConaughey sums it up better than we ever could

Granted, he may not have actually have been watching the Star Wars trailer, but don’t let that spoil this for you.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, you’ll know by now that the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the greatest trailer in the history of the movie business, bar none.

That’s certainly the impression one would get after witnessing the reaction to it after it went online last night and if you needed further proof, just watch how excited this priest was while watching the whole thing through.

As is usually the case in situations like this, the Internet has had a little fun with the hysteria surrounding the trailer and simulated a number of celebrity fan reactions.

In our opinion at least, the funny is strongest in this one featuring Matthew McConaughey. Brilliant it is.

The footage, of course, is from McConaughey’s turn in Interstellar, but his reactions couldn’t be more appropriate for the teaser to what is shaping up to be the biggest movie release in ages.

Yes, it’s looking that good.
