  • Larry the Cable Guy emotionally recounts the moment he realized he landed the role as Mater in Pixar’s “Cars,” including why it remains the greatest thing to ever happen to him and how it was the culmination of everything he’d worked for up until that moment.

    It's funny you look at Larry the Cable Guy and think he's a HUGE celebrity and no doubt he is but you can also see he's really just a normal humble guy.

    I live in pretty small town. Each year we would have all the businesses get together and do a benefit gokart race to help the high school out. CARS was huge at the time so I painted my gokart up like Lightning McQueen. The kids loved it. On the third year I took an old lawn tractor and made it look like Mater and then took and made about 6 little cars to pull behind it. I pulled the kids around before the races and during breaks. It was a carnival like atmosphere and they were lined up for the rides. I didn't charge anything but I had to have my wife buy a roll of tickets at WalMart and then tell the children "one ticket, one ride" because they just wouldn't get out of the cars to let the next kids ride. We gave them the tickets for free. All of them wanted pictures sitting in Mater and Lightning McQueen and I made sure to let them and even encouraged them to sit in and on them. The event fell apart about 8 or 9 years ago. Just a couple of days ago I was out at my old shop that I now rent to someone and saw that Mater lawn tractor setting in the bushes. I should really get it out and running again.
