Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson reveal unexpected pain of their friendship

  • Long-time friends Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have revealed that their three-decade friendship has involved physical altercations resulting in minor injuries, including a chipped tooth, a cracked lip, and a blow to the jaw.
  • The True Detective co-stars are set to reunite for an eight-episode Apple TV series titled Brothers , in which they star as fictionalised versions of themselves exploring a family mystery to determine if they are biological brothers.
  • The concept for the comedy series originated from a real-life event in 2017, when McConaughey’s mother, Kay, revealed to Harrelson that she knew his father around the time the Interstellar actor was conceived.
  • McConaughey has explicitly ruled out taking a DNA test to confirm the theory, explaining that he does not want to risk discovering that the man who raised him for 50 years is not his biological father.
  • Having previously collaborated on projects such as EDtv , Surfer, Dude, and True Detective , the duo's new series Brothers will premiere globally on Apple TV on 23 September.
