Matthew McConaughey Urged to Take DNA Test to Know If Dad Who Refused to Witness His Birth Is His Real Father

• Hollywood's beloved duo, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson may be half brothers, according to the actors recently.
• The emergence of new evidence has added more weight to the claims.
• Despite mounting evidence, McConaughey is reluctant to undergo a DNA test, fearing that he may lose the man he believed was his father his entire life.

Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey's past, has been thrown into the spotlight once again as a new detail has emerged about his childhood.

The rumor that the man he thought was his father may not be his biological dad has been circulating for some time, and a recent statement by Woody Harrelson has added more weight to the speculation.

When asked about the rumors, Harrelson didn't confirm their familial relationship but highlighted a series of uncanny coincidences.

He mentioned one of the most convincing reasons he might be related to McConaughey's—his father's relationship with McConaughey's mother around the time of his conception.

The idea of potentially discovering that his biological father is someone other than the man he's known as his father for over five decades is a difficult situation for McConaughey.

Harrelson revealed that McConaughey's dad refused to go to the hospital when McConaughey's mother gave birth to him because "that ain't my son," he had said.

Harrelson believed it was "an important detail," which he knew about years before he talked to anyone about it.

New Evidence Emerges: Are Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Half-Blood Brothers?

New evidence that adds to the rumors surrounding McConaughey and Harrelson's potential brotherhood also emerged.

Harrelson recently spoke about a conversation he had with McConaughey's mother, Mary Kathlene McCabe, while in Greece years ago.

Harrelson recounted that during a discussion about regrets, McCabe made an unexpected comment about "knowing" Harrelson's father. It was followed by a "pregnant pause" that Harrelson found filled with innuendo and got his mind racing.

Harrelson also revealed another shocking factor—his father had a relationship with McConaughey's mother. Adding more weight to the argument of their connection, Harrelson disclosed that during the year of McConaughey's birth, McCabe was on a sabbatical from her relationship with McConaughey's father.

The details and timing of these events have only added to the speculation that McConaughey and Harrelson may very well be half-blood brothers.

Despite signs pointing to McConaughey possibly having a different biological dad, his relationship with his supposed father significantly impacted his life.

When asked about his dad, McConaughey spoke fondly of him, describing him as "his hero​" and a source of inspiration for his aspirations.

The actor feared letting his dad down, which helped him become the man he is today. He emphasized the positive aspect of this fear, stating that it gave him courage and helped him develop a strong character.

Why Is McConaughey Hesitant to Have a DNA Test?

McConaughey and Harrelson are considering taking a DNA test to determine if they are half brothers, following speculation about their potential family connection. Harrelson stated:

"The thing is, we want to go and test. But for [McConaughey], it's a much more big deal. I mean, he feels like he's losing a father. But I'm like, no, you're gaining a different father and a brother."

McConaughey is willing to take the test but expressed concern about its impact on his relationship with his father and the possibility of discovering that his biological father is someone else.

However, he has investigated his mother's past to see if there is any truth to the rumors.

Understandably, Harrelson has been more open to the idea, while McConaughey has expressed hesitation. He acknowledges that it's a sensitive subject because it involves questioning his father's role in his life.

McConaughey's father has been a prominent figure in his life, and the idea that his dad may not be his biological father is a tough pill to swallow.

During an interview, McConaughey discussed his relationship with his father, describing him as a hardworking man often away from home due to his job.

Despite this, McConaughey maintains that his dad was still present in his life and that he understood why his father wasn't around as much. He recalled:

"He was busy, and so I spent a lot of time with [my] mom. It wasn't like [my] dad wasn't in my life. I just didn't have him in my daily life like maybe my big brothers did."

The idea of potentially discovering that his biological father is someone other than the man he's known as his father for over five decades is a difficult situation for McConaughey. Thus, it's unclear if the actor will go ahead and take the DNA test to uncover the truth.

McConaughey and Harrelson have been friends for years and have even worked together on various projects. The recent speculation that the two actors may be half-brothers has fans on the edge of their seats.

The actors are set to reunite onscreen in a new series titled "Brother From Another Mother." McConaughey described the show as "a series about our families based on truth."

The news of the upcoming series has fans of the two stars excited for what's to come. Their onscreen chemistry has been praised by fans and critics alike, and their real-life friendship and potential brotherhood only add to the anticipation for the new series.
