Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson to Take DNA Test to Determine if They are Half-Brothers
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, longtime friends and co-stars, may soon find out if they are actually half-brothers. The speculation arose earlier this year when McConaughey revealed that he had looked into his mother’s past and discovered a potential connection between Harrelson’s father and his own parents’ divorce. Retired television personality Maury Povich recently offered to help the actors take a DNA test to settle the matter once and for all.
In a video shared with E! News, Povich expressed his willingness to come out of retirement for a primetime special called « DNA, Maury’s back with Woody and Matthew. » McConaughey seemed intrigued by the idea, tapping his finger to his head in agreement. Harrelson, on the other hand, sees the potential test as a way to gain a new father and brother, rather than losing his current father figure.
The actors are set to reunite onscreen in a new series titled « Brother From Another Mother, » which McConaughey described as a show based on their families’ real-life experiences. The DNA test, if it happens, could add an interesting twist to their onscreen collaboration.
Investigating a Potential Family Connection
During a podcast interview, McConaughey shared that his mother had mentioned a special connection she may have had with Harrelson’s father during a family vacation. This revelation sparked speculation that the two actors could be half-brothers. Harrelson expressed interest in further exploring the possibility, acknowledging that it would have a greater impact on McConaughey, who would potentially gain a new father.
Awaiting the DNA Test Results
With Povich’s offer to facilitate a DNA test, McConaughey and Harrelson may finally get the answers they seek. The test could confirm or debunk the rumors of their familial connection. As fans eagerly await the results, the actors continue to work together on their upcoming series, « Brother From Another Mother, » which promises to delve into their real-life family dynamics.
