Matthew McConaughey shocks Reese Witherspoon by telling her he had crush on her

Matthew McConaughey, 52, revealed that he had a crush on Reese Witherspoon, 45, leaving the actress stunned by the information. He explained that the attraction took place many years ago and was motivated by her work in the feature film “No Mundo da Lua” (1991), which she starred when she was just 14 years old.

“She was one of my first crushes and if you’ve seen this movie it’s impossible not to have felt the same,” said the actor during his appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Oh, you are so cute,” replied Witherspoon. McConaughey then reaffirmed that the information was true.

Before, however, the actress had already answered the same question indicating that Val Kilmer, 61, was her first crush, when she played singer Jim Morrison in the feature “The Doors” (1991). “I was a weird teenager,” the actress said, laughing, as she told DeGeneres how old she was at the time.

The actors went to the talk show to promote “Sing 2”, an animation with its premiere scheduled for December 22, in which they voice Rosita and Buster Moon, respectively. McConaughey has been married to Brazilian model Camila Alves, 39, since 2012. They have three children: Levi, 13, Vida, 11, and Livingston, 8.

Witherspoon has been married for ten years to talent agent Jim Toth, 51, with whom she has Tennessee, 9. The actress is also the mother of Ava, 22, and Deacon, 18, from the union with actor Ryan Phillippe, 47, with who related between 1999 and 2008.
