“Is there a family secret behind the resemblance of American actors who could be mistaken for siblings?”

Hollywood actors Matthew McConaughey, 53, and Woody Harrelson, 61, famous for their facial resemblance, have raised the possibility that they may be half-brothers.

According to CNN on the 14th (Korean time), McConaughey recently confessed that Harrelson could be his older brother in an interview on the podcast ‘Let’s Talk Off Camera’.

McConaughey and Harrelson’s ‘bromance’ is well known early on. The two not only have similar looks and atmospheres, but also filmed a number of works together, such as the movies ‘True Detective’ and ‘EDtv’.

“Where I start and where I end, where Harrelson starts and ends, it’s always like a fuzzy line,” McConaughey said.

“My children call Harrelson Uncle, and Harrelson’s kids call me Uncle. “People look at my family picture and think it’s the Harrelsons, and they look at the Harrelsons picture and they think it’s me.”

Suspicions about the ‘secret of birth’ began a few years ago on a family trip to Greece where the two families left together.

McConaughey’s mother left meaningful words to Harrelson, “I know your father.” Harrelson’s father died in 2007.

It also coincided perfectly with the timing. When McConaughey’s mother went through her second divorce, Harrelson’s father was on vacation. It is assumed that McConaughey’s mother and Harrelson’s father met during this time. McConaughey surmised, “There must be a receipt for it in West Texas.”

McConaughey is hesitating whether or not to do a DNA test. This is because he is afraid of the shock he will receive if the person he has known as his father all his life is not his biological father. McConaughey’s father died in 1992.

“I’m more reluctant than Harrelson because the father I’ve believed so for 53 years may not be my biological parent,” McConaughey said.
