The rumor that Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson could be brothers

A post recounts McConaughey’s account of his mother telling Harrelson, “I knew your father,” during a family vacation. It also describes a potential “receipt” connecting her to a West Texas motel around the time Harrelson’s father was reportedly there and McConaughey was conceived. The post frames McConaughey’s hesitation about DNA testing around the different stakes: Harrelson could discover a brother, while McConaughey could have to reconsider who he has believed his father was.
