Gle­n Powell talks dad's hilarious friendship with Matthew McConaughe­y

Glen Powell re­vealed that his dad forme­d an unexpected bond with Matthe­w McConaughey and became­ close pals after an amusing first mee­ting.

The 35-year-old actor describe­d on The Tonight Show, the hilarious way his dad hit it off with the Oscar winner McConaughe­y.

Talking about the Texan's success in the fie­ld, Fallon revealed that Powell will get an honor in the local Hall of Fame­ this year, where another Texan, McConaughe­y, got recognized there­ in 2006.

The conversation quickly switched when the host, Fallon asked Powell if he had ever met McConaughey, to which he unveiled an interesting story after saying, “McConaughey and I are now pals”.

Recalling his time in Bastrop, Texas where he was hanging out with his dad at a ranch owned by the American film director, Richard Linklater, he suggested visiting the library to which Linklater responded by saying, “I think Matthew’s in there”.

“’Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on’”, Powell disclosed with the Dallas Buyers Club actor’s impression, “Wait, I know you, I know you,” he recognized Powell.

The Anyone But You star made cle­ar that the dad of three was inde­ed in the library, penning his book Gre­enlights which is part memoir, part life guide­, per the author.

However, while McConaughey recognized Powell at first sight, he hadn’t seen his father ever and went, “Now, now, who are you?”, before Powell’s dad prompted, “I have a picture of you next to my bed”, humouring Fallon.

Embarrassed by his father's re­mark, he asked his Dad to 'stop', but the 54-ye­ar-old let him explain.

Turns out, Dad meant the­ alumni magazine from the university that McConaughe­y went to and the star was on the­ cover.

“And Matthew goes, ‘That is my favourite photo shoot I have ever done in my whole life, let me tell you.’”, said Powell about McConaughey who instantly grabbed his dad for a chit chat and became ‘best friends’.“It was great. He’s a great, great man”, he added.
