Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have been great friends for decades. They share many things in common, including a sorted family history, a love of weed and a southern upbringing. But is that all?
According to Harrelson on the Colbert Show this week, the 61-year-old actor revealed he wants to know for certain if their brotherly bond is blood.
Harrelson admitted the story is “crazy” as he shared how it all unfolded.
“Well, I’ll just say there is some veracity to that thought because we talked to Ma’ Mac, Matthew’s legitimate mother, and she let us know one time … I mean, this is crazy,” Harrelson told Colbert.
The “White House Plumbers” actor recalled being in Greece watching a World Cup match when the topic of “regrets” arose.
Harrelson said he mentioned that he found it odd that his father, who died in 2007, has “no regrets.”
He said McConaughey’s mom shocked him with her reply.
“And I have known Ma’ Mac a long time, and she goes, ‘I knew … your father,’” he shared. “And it was the ellipses I found a little troubling, or interesting. “I knew your father.”’
I would love to know.
