Woody Harrelson says DNA test proving they are brothers could mean ‘losing a father’ for Matthew McConaughey
Woody Harrelson wants to have a DNA test to see if Matthew McConaughey is his biological brother, but admits it is “much more of a big deal” for his fellow actor.
The pair have been close friends for years, but Matthew recently told how they started questioning whether they could be blood relatives after the ‘Mud’ star’s mum revealed she previously knew Woody’s dad.
Woody, 61, is now keen to get a test to find out the truth, but he admits Matthew feels he would be “losing a father” if the results were confirmed.
Speaking on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’, he said: “We want to go for a [DNA] test, but for him, it’s a much more big deal.
“I mean he feels like he is losing a father. But I’m like, no, you’re gaining a different father and a brother.”
