Matthew McConaughey has shared how his collaboration with Jennifer Lopez on the 2001 romantic comedy 'The Wedding Planner' helped him navigate a tricky encounter with Mexican border police.
During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, McConaughey recounted being pulled over late one night while crossing the border into Mexico. He described the situation as one where officers seemed to recognise him and were preparing for a shakedown.
To resolve the situation, McConaughey brought up Jennifer Lopez and 'The Wedding Planner', asking the officers if they knew the film. Upon realising who he was, the officers asked for photos with the actor before allowing him to proceed.
