In an excerpt from his new memoir "Greenlights," Matthew McConaughey opened up about his father's surprising cause of death. 

McConaughey revealed that his dad, James, died while having sex with his wife Kay, McConaughey's mother. 

"I got a call from my Mom. 'Your Dad died.' My knees buckled," the actor recalled in the excerpt, shared by People. "I couldn't believe it. He was my dad. Nobody or nothing could kill him. Except mom." 

McConaughey wrote that his dad had even foretold his cause of death to his sons. 

"He'd always told me and my brothers, 'Boys, when I go, I'm gonna be makin' love to your mother.' And that's what happened. He had a heart attack when he climaxed," McConaughey wrote in the memoir, out Tuesday.

The actor also said his parents' relationship was like "the Pacific Ocean in a storm," and revealed that they were sometimes "violent" with each other. 

"As I say in the book, that is how they communicated," McConaughey told People. 

This isn't the first time McConaughey has opened up about his mother's romantic relationships. 

In January, he and his "Gentlemen" costar Hugh Grant told "Entertainment Tonight" that they had set up their parents on a blind date. 

"His father's 91, my mother's 88," McConaughey said. "Yeah, why not? Next week, they're supposed to meet, and we probably won't see them for the rest of the night."
