Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have been close friends for nearly three decades, but their striking resemblance and a surprising revelation involving McConaughey’s mother sparked speculation that they could possibly be biological half-brothers.
The two actors have discussed taking a DNA test, though they have never confirmed that they actually did one, with Harrelson saying there is a “real possibility” they could be related.
The unusual mystery has now inspired their new Apple TV+ comedy series Brothers, in which they play fictionalized versions of themselves as a family secret raises the question of whether their lifelong friendship might actually have a biological connection behind it.
