Woody Harrelson OK to DNA take a look at if he’s Matthew McConaughey’s brother
They may very well be legitimizing the “bro” in “bromance.”
Woody Harrelson responded to hypothesis he and Matthew McConaughey might share a father — saying he’d be completely happy to bear a DNA take a look at to verify.
When Harrelson appeared Tuesday on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” the 61-year-old actor revealed he needs to know for sure if their brotherly bond is blood.
McConaughey, 53, disclosed he and Harrelson may share extra than simply display time on Kelly Ripa’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast final week.
The “How To Lose A Man in 10 Days” star instructed of a potential romance his mom, Mary Kathlene McCabe, had with Harrelson’s dad, Charles, throughout the time his dad and mom had been divorcing. (McConaughey’s dad and mom divorced twice and married 3 times.)
Harrelson admitted the story is “loopy” as he shared the way it all unfolded.
“Nicely, I’ll simply say there may be some veracity to that thought as a result of we talked to Ma’ Mac, Matthew’s legit mom, and he or she tell us one time … I imply, that is loopy,” Harrelson instructed Colbert.
The “White Home Plumbers” actor recalled being in Greece watching a World Cup match when the subject of “regrets” arose.
Harrelson mentioned he talked about that he discovered it odd that his father, who died in 2007, has “no regrets.”
He mentioned McConaughey’s mother shocked him along with her reply.
“And I’ve identified Ma’ Mac a very long time, and he or she goes, ‘I knew … your father,’” he shared. “And it was the ellipses I discovered a bit of troubling, or attention-grabbing. “I knew your father.”’
Harrelson added her pause was “full of innuendo.”
Though Harrelson is more than pleased to do the DNA take a look at, he understands his “True Detective” co-star’s hesitancy.
“For him, it’s a way more large deal. I imply, he looks like he’s dropping a father,” he defined. “However I’m like, ‘No, you’re gaining a unique father and a brother.’”
McConaughey admitted on Ripa’s podcast he isn’t able to put his paternal bloodline to the take a look at.
“It’s a bit of simpler for Wooden to say, ‘Come on, let’s do it,’ as a result of what’s the pores and skin in it for him?” the daddy of three jokingly identified.
“It’s a bit of tougher for me as a result of he’s asking me to take the prospect to go, ‘Wait a minute, you’re telling me my dad is probably not my dad of 53 years’ and imagine in it?” he continued. “I bought a bit of extra pores and skin within the sport.”
McConaughey’s father, James, died in 1992.
