Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are putting their bromance to the test. After speculation that McConaughey and Harrelson may actually be half brothers, the two Hollywood actors want to find out the truth once and for all by taking a DNA test. Harrelson recently brought up the idea of further exploring if the two are actually related.
True Detective co-star Matthew McConaughey could be half-brothers.While appearing on Kelly Ripa’s SiriusXM podcast Let’s Talk off Camera with Kelly Ripa last week, McConaughey revealed that his mother had told them both that she “knew” Harrelson’s father during a time when she was separated from her husband.McConaughey, who was teasing the pair’s new Apple TV+ series Brother From Another Mother, also said that their families often mistake them for one another in photos.Commenting on their possible relation for the first time, Harrelson discussed the rumour while appearing Tuesday’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.“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,” Harrelson told Colbert.The Hunger Games star continued: “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.

Star Wars film, which he says is about “the discovery of the Force”.This week (April 7) Star Wars confirmed that three new films are in the works for the franchise, the first of which will be directed by Mangold, who has also directed this year’s upcoming Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny.According to LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who appeared at this year’s Star Wars Celebration in London, the film will explore “the first Jedi to wield the force”.Speaking to Empire, Mangold has opened up more about the film and when it will be set.He said: “It takes place 25,000 years before Episode IV, and it’s about the discovery of the Force.“I told Kathy [Kennedy] I wanted to make a kind of Bible movie, a kind of Ten Commandments of Star Wars – kind of a Cecil B DeMille film about the arrival of the Force, and that’s what I’ve been pecking away at between press events. That’s the idea.”He continued: “It’s a movie that both connects to the worlds we know, but is also far enough away from it that I think there’s a lot of opportunities to tell a story freely, also…and not be so incredibly tied in by the knots and different story strands that are already in place.”A post shared by Empire Magazine (@empiremagazine) The second new Star Wars film will be directed by The Mandalorian co-creator Dave Filoni.
