Matthew McConaughey shares mortifying photo of swollen face

The Oscar winner has taken to social media with a rather shocking photo of his swollen face, as he revealed how it happened.

Matthew McConaughey is not all right, all right, all right.

The US actor shared a photo of himself smiling on Instagram, with his right eye completely swollen shut.

“Bee swell,” he captioned the post.

His followers flooded the comments section, with some showing concern for the actor’s health, and others poking fun at his condition.

“Now he can only see ‘all right all right all right’,” one follower commented, with another writing: “The bee said ‘there’s a green light,’” referencing the Academy Award-winning actor’s memoir, Green Lights.

“Still better looking than me WTF,” another hilariously added.

Even celebrity friends got in on the action, with retired footballer David Beckham also writing, “Ouch” and Bear Grylls adding: “I’ve been there …”

“How hard did Woody H hit you, man?” another comment read, referencing actor Woody Harrelson.

Harrelson and McConaughey have been friends for many years, having first met in 1997 while filming the movie EDtv. 

During an April 2023 appearance on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, McConaughey revealed their close bond could be due to more than just friendship.

“You know, where I start and where he ends, and where he starts and I end, has always been like a murky line,” McConaughey told Ripa. “And you see pictures of us and my family thinks a lot of pictures of him are me. His family thinks a lot of pictures of me are him.”

McConaughey went on to share that while his family and Harrelson’s family were on vacation together, his mum revealed she knew Harrelson’s father back in the day.

The Dallas Buyers Club star joked, “It was a loaded knew, and everyone around knew what she meant by that.”

“We went on to unpack what this ‘knew’ meant and did some math and found out that [Harrelson’s] dad was on furlough at the same time that my mom and dad were in their second divorce,” he continued.

“Then there’s possible receipts and places out in West Texas where there might have been a gathering, or a meeting, or a ‘knew’ moment.”

Harrelson confirmed the theory in a May 2023 interview with Esquire, revealing that when McConaughey was born in 1969, McConaughey’s father refused to go to the hospital with his mother, telling her, “that ain’t my son.”

The Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri actor has been vocal about his desire to have a DNA test done to confirm whether they’re related or not.

However, he told Stephen Colbert in April 2023, McConaughey is reluctant to get one done.

“We want to go and test, but for him, it’s a much more big deal. I mean he feels like he is losing a father,” Harrelson said. “But I’m like, no, you’re gaining a different father and a brother.”

McConaughey has three children, Levi, 16, Vida, 14, and Livingston, 11, with his wife Camila Alves, and Harrelson has Deni, 30, Zoe, 27, and Makani, 18, with wife Laura Louie.
