Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson recently revealed how their friendship has always been a little physical. The actors, who have been friends for nearly three decades, have not just been at each other’s throats on screen. They have also had plenty of heated arguments, creative clashes, and even literal brawls off-screen.

Recently, while promoting their upcoming series, Brothers, also fueled by their relentless friction and bickering, the actors talked about their behind-the-scenes fights, which apparently also involved bleeding.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson recently appeared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, promoting their new Apple TV series. Talking about their dynamic, the actors assured fans that they hold no grudges against each other. Instead, they prefer to settle their frustrations with a few physical blows in the moment.

"No broken bones. Blood has been drawn, though, and will be drawn again," McConaughey told EW.

Harrelson did not leave out the gory details in the EW interview either. He mentioned a “chipped tooth” and “cracked lip." McConaughey, however, insisted Harrelson was himself responsible for the chipped tooth after an overswing caught him in the jaw.

This chaotic real-life dynamic is at the heart of the premise behind their upcoming show.

Brothers is a meta-comedy that blurs the line between fiction and Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s real-life friendship. The story begins when Woody Harrelson’s daughter’s engagement falls apart, leaving the family in need of a reset. Woody then packs up his stressed-out family and heads to Austin, Texas, to stay with his best friend, Matthew McConaughey, only to unleash a whole new level of chaos.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson probably had to put little to no effort into manufacturing any on-screen tension, much like our beloved X-Men duo. Even the cast members have witnessed their constant, sibling-like squabbling. With their effortless chemistry and years of real-life friendship, the chaos practically writes itself.
