These two movie stars could be…brothers! The amazing discovery of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson

After EDtv and True Detective, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson will soon be on screen in the new Apple TV+ comedy Brother From Another Mother. The 10-episode series will feature the two actors in fictionalized versions of themselves as they reunite their families on a Texas ranch.

However, despite the show’s title hinting at the comedians’ real-life friendship spanning decades, they may be little more than really good friends. As Variety reports, speaking on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, Matthew McConaughey revealed that Woody Harrelson may be his real brother…

“You know, where I begin and where it ends, where it begins and I end, has always been like a blurred line. And that’s part of our bromance, isn’t it? My kids call him Uncle Woody. His children call me Uncle Mate. You see pictures of us and my family thinks a lot of his pictures are mine. His family thinks many of my pictures are of him.“

But aside from some similarities, it’s a simple statement from Matthew McConaughey’s mother that raises suspicions…

We sat in Greece a few years ago and talked about our closeness and families. My mom is there and she says, “Woody, I knew your dad. Everyone knew about the ellipses my mom left after she “knew”. He was loaded with KNOW.

The investigation has been started

Thus, this revelation prompted Matthew McConaughey to investigate his family history.

“Then we opened up what “knew” meant and learned that Dad was on vacation while my mom and dad were going through their second divorce. Then there are receipts and possible locations in West Texas where the encounter may have taken place.“

However, the actors have not yet decided to take a DNA test to get concrete evidence. Knowing the truth is not as easy for Matthew McConaughey as it is for Woody Harrelson…

“It’s a little more difficult for me because he asks me to take a chance and says, “Wait a minute, you’re trying to tell me that my dad might not be my dad after 53 years of believing that?” I have a few more shares in this story.“

Woody’s father, a notorious criminal

Woody Harrelson’s father, Charles W. Harrelson, who might as well be Matthew McConaughey, also has a difficult past to digest: He was a contract killer, information that Woody discovered on the radio as a child when his father left home. five years earlier. Charles Harrelson, a former encyclopedia salesman in the 1950s, was convicted of armed robbery in the early 1960s and then charged with murder in 1968. Ten years later, he was released on parole, and then recalled by the court in 1979 for the murder of a judge. Under the influence of cocaine, he confesses to this crime… as well as the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy! Sentenced to life imprisonment, he died of a heart attack in prison in 2007.

It remains to be seen if this crazy story will be referenced in the upcoming series, which would be incredibly aptly titled. Are Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson half brothers? There is an opportunity…
