Matthew McConaughey has revealed that his role in the 2001 film "The Wedding Planner" alongside Jennifer Lopez once helped him escape a difficult situation at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Oscar-winning actor told the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast that he was pulled over while crossing the border late at night. He described the incident as a major error on his part. However, a border agent recognized him from the romantic comedy and allowed him to continue on his way. McConaughey credited the movie with defusing what could have been a serious problem. The actor shared the anecdote during a recent podcast appearance.
