MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY wasn’t responsible for those headline-making beach brawls between Malibu surfers and foe-togs trying to snap him wave-dancing, but the star went out of his way to apologize to shore-side residents – knocking on doors and handing out nearly two dozen $10 Starbucks gift cards to surprised homeowners!
Said a source: “Matt knows the city’s talking about changing laws to make it harder for photogs to gather on the beach, and a lot of people are angry about that. Matt doesn’t want to be looked down on in the ’hood as the guy who caused all the problems.”
