They’re two of Hollywood’s most recognizable names, faces, and voices. Over the years, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have built a strong friendship, but their bond might go beyond just a bromance.
Both Texas natives, these two actors have developed an endearing friendship over the years as they rose to become two of Hollywood’s biggest stars on the silver screen.
Harrelson and McConaughey shared the screen in the first season of True Detective in 2014, delivering standout performances in what became one of the yearโs best showsโstill widely acclaimed by critics today.
Off-screen, McConaughey and Harrelson might be more than just friendsโthey could actually be related. And not distantly, but as brothers.
Although they first met in 1999 while starring together in the comedy EDtv, their connection appears to run much deeper than either of them initially realized.
The discovery stems from a conversation between the two while they were on a family vacation in Greece.
McConaughey’s mother, Mary Kathleen ‘Kay’ McConaughey, was also part of that family vacation.
