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?
