Why Not: Woody Harrelson And Matthew McConaughey Think There's A Chance They Might Be Biological Brothers

[Source] - “In Greece a few years ago, we’re sitting around talking about how close we are and our families,” McConaughey continued. “And my mom is there, and she says, ‘Woody, I knew your dad.’ Everyone was aware of the ellipses that my mom left after ‘knew.’ It was a loaded K-N-E-W.”

The revelation led McConaughey to investigate his family history. He said, “We went on to unpack what this ‘knew’ meant and did some math and found out that [Harrelson’s] dad was on furlough at the same time that my mom and dad were in their second divorce. Then there’s possible receipts and places out in West Texas where there might have been a gathering, or a meeting, or a ‘knew’ moment.”

Listen, there's a 99.9% chance this is them just promoting their new show called 'Brother from Another Mother.' We're not dumb here - some of the times. But that said, if there are two famous people in the world to say this and there be even a slight chance of being true it's these two. No doubt about it. That's why I'm sitting there doing the Alonzo Mourning gif reading the entire thing

But remember, this is the story of Woody Harrelson's dad. He was a hitman. Not only was he a hitman, he was arrested for killing a judge.

That's the guy we're talking about at the center of this wild ass theory here. Honestly? Makes it more believable! Then you see their chemistry during season 1 of True Detective and it just checks out. I don't know man. I just believe them (I don't, but it's way more fun to believe them). 

They should really lean all the way into it. You want to sell a show, you get a DNA test and have it manipulated to say they are brothers. Just lean all the way into it. Sure their names and history with each other sell the show enough. But I want fireworks. I want these guys to make me want to not miss one second of this show because it's 'real.' They are brothers from another mother. 

That and come back home to Lebanon, Ohio Woody. Let's run some 2v2 and make the real remake of White Men Can't Jump. Still pisses me off they are doing that. Outside of that, just lean into being brothers. Like I said, this is 99.9% chance it's just a promo for the show, but no one else can say it and everyone be like well, you never know. Things get weird and sexy in West Texas.
