-While appearing on Kelly Ripa's SiriusXM podcast Let's Talk off Camera with Kelly Ripa last week, McConaughey, 53, revealed that he and Harrelson, 61, might be half-siblings as his mother had told them both that she "knew" Harrelson's father during a time when she was separated from her husband.
Woody says: "Well, I'll just say there is some veracity to that thought because we talked to Ma' Mac, Matthew's legitimate mother, and she let us know one time … I mean, this is crazy. We were in Greece, we were watching the US team win the World Cup and I don't know, I mentioned something about regrets. And I said, 'You know, it's odd that my father has no regrets.' And I have known Ma' Mac a long time, and she goes, 'I knew … your father.' And it was the ellipses I found a little troubling, or interesting. 'I knew your father."
-Woody says the "knew" came off as full of innuendos. Adding that "The year of his birth, nine months before, she was on a sabbatical from her relationship with his supposed father, Jim".
-Woody wants to get DNA testing, but Matthew is less receptive towards thinking "It's a little harder for me because he's asking me to take the chance to go 'wait a minute, you're telling me my dad may not be my dad of 53 years' and believe in it? I got a little more skin in the game"***
-But Matthew also added the possibility of his mother and Woody's father meeting happening: "Then, there's possible receipts placing them out in West Texas where there might have been a gathering or a meeting or a 'knew' moment," he added."
OP's note: Lol at them mentioning this while promoting their new series "Brother from another Mother"! I've seen pics of Matthew and he does look like his dad so idk why he would think his father is not his father? Also I'm looking at Woody's parents and he looks like them. Surprised we never had a "Maury" tag haha!
