Speaking of Matthew McConaughey , he is known to be close friends with actor Woody Harrelson both in public and private, but recently some shocking news was received about the two of them.

When the two went on a trip to Greece with their families, Matthew McConaughey's mother confessed that she "knew Woody's father very well (meaningful)." It seems that they were in a relationship at one time, and in Hollywood, there is a theory that "Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are brothers ."

Woody Harrelson's father was the late Charles Harrelson, a well-known underworld hitman. Who is Matthew McConaughey's mother (a former teacher) who may have been dating him?

I'm starting to become more interested in Matthew McConaughey's mother than I am in him, so I'll end it here for now.

see you!
