Matthew McConaughey AND Woody Harrelson announced that they will meet on screen next edtv AND true detective in a new comedy on Apple TV+ from creator David West Read. series of 10 episodes will feature the actors as fictional versions of themselves as they bring their families together under one roof on a Texas ranch in a reality show of sorts.
You’ll see why.
McConaughey recently announced on the podcast We talk off cameraFrom Kelly Ripathat the series is titled Step brother.
While the title evokes McConaughey and Harrelson’s real-life friendship over decades, McConaughey let slip that he’s actually wondering if Harrelson is related to him in any other way. Excuse me?!
Second Varietyit all stems from the revelation that McConaughey’s mother knew Harrelson’s father… perhaps intimately.
“I don’t know where I start and where he ends, and where he begins and I end, it’s always been kind of a dark line,” McConaughey said. “And that’s part of our love story, right? My kids call him Uncle Woody.. Their children call me Uncle Matthew. And you see pictures of us and my family thinks a lot of pictures of him are mine. His family thinks a lot of my pictures are him.”
“In Greece, a few years ago, we were sitting around talking about how close we are and our families,” McConaughey continued. “And there is my mother, and she says: “Woody, I met your father.” Everyone was aware of the ellipses left by my mother…”.
The confession prompted McConaughey to dig into his family history: ‘Then we found out what those ellipses meant, did some math and found out that (Harrelson’s) father was on leave at the same time my mother was. and my father were in their second divorce … Then there are the possible receptions and places in West Texas where there could have been a meeting, a gathering or an intimate moment”.
The actors haven’t decided yet take a DNA test to obtain evidence of a possible family connection between them.
McConaughey explained, half jokingly, half seriously: “It’s hard for me because I would find out, maybe, that my father might not be my father after 53 years…”
