The Daily Mail has more photos from the filming of ‘The Beach Bum’:

He plays a stoner in the upcoming comedy The Beach Bum. And Matthew McConaughey was totally in character as he continued filming scenes for the upcoming film in Miami on Wednesday, pretending to puff away on a fake joint as he stood behind a microphone on stage alongside Jimmy Buffett.

Even Matthew’s co-star, 70, pretended to smoke as well, flashing a relaxed smile as he sat beside the actor beside the beach while holding onto the faux joint.

The scene saw Matthew standing behind a microphone as he held a notebook and clutched the fake joint.
Dressed from head-to-toe in his character’s trademark funky wear, Matthew looked slightly disheveled as he wore a long blonde wig, unbuttoned tropical print shirt, and matching shorts.

The pair sure seemed to be having some fun as they hit the stage together, delighting the adoring audience.
Jimmy rocked a red T-shirt with palm tree design, bright neon blue shorts, and a hat.

TMZ has video of Matthew McConaughey dancing on stage with Jimmy Buffett for the upcoming film The Beach Bum:

The Oscar-winning actor’s in Miami shooting for his upcoming film, “The Beach Bum” … and showed off his groovy moves while Buffett played his hit song, “Volcano,” during one of the scenes.

McConaughey plays a rebellious stoner named Moondog in the Harmony Korine film, and judging by the vid … Moondog’s in paradise when Buffett’s rocking out.

“The Beach Bum” comes out in 2018.

You may be able to waste away in a Margaritaville Hotel in downtown New York City soon, according to therealdeal.com:

Sharif El-Gamal’s Soho Properties, in partnership with MHP Real Estate Services and Flintlock Construction Services, is in late-stage negotiations to revive their plans for a distressed Times Square site once slated for a Dream Hotel. Now, the developers are working out a deal to build a Margaritaville hotel and restaurant, the first of its kind in New York City, The Real Deal has learned.

The Related Companies is expected to provide a $180 million construction loan for the project at 560 Seventh Avenue by year’s end, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. Related, which launched a $2 billion fund for commercial real estate debt last year through its subsidiary Related Fund Management, would not serve as an equity partner.

Though the exact size of the Margaritaville hotel was not immediately clear, sources said it would be similar to the Dream Hotel the developers once envisioned: 29 stories, 243 hotel rooms and nearly 120,000 square feet.

Representatives for Related, Soho Properties and MHP declined to comment, and a Margaritaville spokesperson could not be reached.
