It's hard to think of a star better suited for The Beach Bumthan McConaughey, who before the current McConnaissance was frequently caught bumming around on the beach and playing the bongos naked.

He's basically built a career playing rebellious rogues who refuse to grow up, starting with his breakout turn in Dazed and Confusedas David "I get older, they stay the same age" Wooderson.
