Hear Woody Harrelson’s Spot-On Matthew McConaughey Impression

Woody Harrelson delivered a memorable impression of Matthew McConaughey during an exclusive roundtable interview held by El-Balad. The event featured the cast of the upcoming film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which is set to release in theaters on November 14. The original cast members included Harrelson, Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, and Isla Fisher.

Cast Insights and Impressions

During the discussion, Isla Fisher recounted her experience working with Baz Luhrmann on the 2013 film The Great Gatsby. She noted that she only understood her character, Myrtle, once she completed her hairstyle, despite Luhrmann’s confidence in her portrayal.

The conversation took a light-hearted turn when Harrelson showcased his ability to mimic Jack Nicholson, delivering the line, “Let the uniform do the acting.” This prompted laughter from his co-stars.

After Franco complimented Harrelson on his talent for impressions, Fisher encouraged him to perform his rendition of McConaughey. Harrelson obliged, and his portrayal left the group in stitches. The chemistry between Harrelson and McConaughey stems from their collaboration in HBO’s acclaimed series True Detective, as well as recent commercials for Salesforce.

Reflecting on his commercial work, Harrelson humorously remarked that it makes him feel “like a prostitute.”

Fisher’s Near-Death Experience

Later in the interview, Franco shifted the focus back to their new film, asking Fisher about a harrowing incident during the first Now You See Me film in 2013. She narrated a near-death experience while filming a scene where her character struggled to escape from a water tank.

Fisher’s prop chains became entangled during filming.
She was genuinely drowning, which the crew mistakenly believed was part of her performance.
A stuntman and a quick-release hatch ultimately saved her life.

Fisher elaborated, saying, “I thought, ‘Maybe…,’ but then I got free, resembling an aging, ginger mermaid surfacing for air.”
