Comedy series Brothers is based on a rumor that actors Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey share the same father. The story originated when McConaughey’s mother suggested she had slept with Harrelson’s father, a claim McConaughey has refused to verify via DNA test to protect his friend's feelings and his own memories. In the series, the duo plays exaggerated versions of themselves, with Harrelson bringing chaos to McConaughey’s Texas life while keeping the half-brother secret hidden. The show features self-deprecating humor about their Hollywood fame, showcasing their strong chemistry as they navigate various misadventures together.
