Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson receive offer from Maury Povich to take DNA test

Hollywood actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson could settle the debate of whether they are truly half-brothers, with the help of retired television personality Maury Povich.

Matthew McConaughey may soon be able to set the record straight on whether he and Woody Harrelson are actually brothers.

The 53-year-old reacted to a video from retired television personality, Maury Povich, who offered to help McConaughey and Harrelson to take a DNA test.

"I would come out of retirement. We could do primetime, ‘DNA, Maury’s back with Woody and Matthew,’" the former "Maury" host shared in a video to E! News.

McConaughey was all smiles during the video, as he tapped his finger to his head and indicated that it may just be a great idea from Povich.

"The thing is we want to go and test," Harrelson said on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in April.

"But for him, 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."

The "True Detective" co-stars have been friends for two decades and starred in their first movie together in 1999’s "EDtv."
