McConaughey says Harrelson snuck through window and slept in his bed

"He ain't ever gone through a front door in his life. I woke up next to him in my bed between me and my wife because he snuck through the bedroom window unannounced many times," Matthew McConaughey said of Woody Harrelson.

He told Bear Grylls the story on a glacier in Norway during the Season 9 premiere of Bear Grylls is Running Wild. They had been trying to meet up for nearly two decades.

The actors met on the set of EDtv in the late '90s. They teamed up again on True Detective and Surfer, Dude. Thirty years later, they're still close.

"He's a constant reminder for me to stay young, because he's a perpetual 8-year-old," McConaughey told Grylls. "I mean, you can't get mad at Woody for showing up barefoot, three days late to your own wedding because you could show up three days late to his own wedding and he don't care."

Decider published the account on April 21, 2026. Bear Grylls is Running Wild airs Tuesday nights at 9/8c on FOX and streams the next day on Hulu.

"I always like to say, I think he has almost kissed my wife as many times as I have," McConaughey said of Camila Alves.
