Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are not only famous actors but also close friends with a wealth of extraordinary experiences together. Promoting their new show, Brothers, the duo has shared some remarkable anecdotes from their friendship.
Late-Night Surprise Visits
In a conversation on the “Glass Half Full” podcast, McConaughey recounted how Harrelson once surprised him by climbing into his bed at 2 a.m. without any prior notice. He humorously mentioned that Harrelson doesn’t use doors and often appears unannounced. “He just shows up,” McConaughey shared. Upon waking up, McConaughey found Harrelson had jumped the fence and sneaked into bed with him and his wife, Camila Alves.
Anniversary Mix-Up
Their friendship’s origin is another topic of differing memories. Harrelson and McConaughey seem to have different recollections of their first meeting. Harrelson believes they met earlier than McConaughey remembers, likely due to the casual nature of their initial encounters. They shared laughs over how they started taking shots together, leading to blurred memories of their early friendship.
Living on the Edge
McConaughey also shared an adventure where Harrelson performed a handstand precariously close to a canyon’s edge. Describing Harrelson’s carefree spirit, McConaughey praised his friend’s ability to perform feats usually abandoned with age. Although Harrelson modestly downplayed the act, McConaughey insisted on its daring nature.
Inviting Strangers
On Conan O’Brien’s podcast, McConaughey recounted how Harrelson met a honeymooning couple in Greece and invited them to stay at their rental home. This spontaneous gesture highlighted Harrelson’s open-hearted nature, often welcoming new acquaintances into his life without hesitation.
Extended Stay
McConaughey described Harrelson’s habit of unplanned, prolonged visits to his home. Initially stopping by to say “hello,” Harrelson might end up staying for months. While McConaughey occasionally asked him to leave to regain personal space, his family loved Harrelson’s presence, enjoying the fun and laughter he brought.
Potential Brothers?
The premise of their show is rooted in a real-life hint that they might be siblings. During a trip to Greece, McConaughey’s mother revealed she knew Harrelson’s father. It led to speculation about a familial connection, though McConaughey hesitates to confirm this with a DNA test.
