“Surfer, Dude”, “EDtv” or “True Detective”: the actors Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey harmonize very well on camera and seem to get along very well in private life. Maybe there’s a reason for this that goes beyond sympathy, because the two could actually be half-brothers.
On the podcast told Matthew McConaughey there was a chance he and fellow actor Woody Harrelson could be half-brothers. The reason for this assumption is an ambiguous statement by his mother Kay, which she allegedly made while vacationing with Woody Harrelson:
“A few years ago we sat in Greece and talked about how close our families are. And my mom was there and she said: ‘Woody, I ‘knew’ your father. Everyone saw the break after ‘knew’.”
A DNA test could offer a solution
A statement that Woody Harrelson has now confirmed on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”. After that evening, the acting duo did some research – “True Detective” style. In the end, they came to the conclusion that their parents’ affair would have been a possibility and would have been appropriate time-wise and geographically, especially since Matthew McConaughey’s mother Kay would have had a rather “turbulent marriage”.
We’ve included the right clip for you here again:
A DNA test could finally provide clarity. But while Woody Harrelson is already excited about the idea, as he pointed out to Stephen Colbert, his would-be half-brother doesn’t seem quite convinced by the idea just yet. No wonder the test could finally reveal that the man Matthew McConaughey has believed all his life to be his biological father is not his biological father. Woody Harrelson notes:
“We want to do a DNA test, but for him it’s a much bigger deal. He feels like he’s losing a father. But I tell him he could have another father and brother instead.
So there is currently no certainty. But it would be a fantastic story if it turns out that these two Hollywood legends are half brothers after all and have not known it all these years.
