something about apples, something about trees

Actor Woody Harrelson’s — and his brother, Brett’s — father is Charles Harrelson, a contract killer convicted of assassinating a federal judge in 1979.

It probably shouldn’t, but his heritage may make you view two of Woody Harrelson’s movies in a new light. He plays a charismatic killer in “Natural Born Killers” and a hitman in “No Country for Old Men.”

A twist: The actor Matthew McConaughey said in 2023 he and Woody may be brothers, but if they’ve done a DNA test, they haven’t released the results.
