'It Got Weirder': Josh Lucas Reveals How He Almost Got Into A Fight Over Being Mistaken As Matthew McConaughey
Josh Lucas humorously recounts an incident where he nearly got into a fight after being mistaken for Matthew McConaughey by a fan, describing the encounter as very strange
Josh Lucas is usually all about spreading kindness to his fans, but there's a little catch to his rule. The 52-year-old actor often gets approached by people wanting to greet him when he's out and about, and he's quick to admit that "99.9% of the time people are nothing but lovely," as he shared with PEOPLE in a recent interview.
However, there was this one time, about 15 years back, that stands out as a real head-scratcher. It was a moment when someone's fandom took a wild turn. This eager fan mistook Lucas for none other than Matthew McConaughey and just wouldn't take no for an answer when asking for an autograph.
Lucas, known for his roles in "Sweet Home Alabama" and many other films, chuckles as he recalls the bizarre encounter, saying, "The weirdest story I have is, I once almost got into a fight with a guy because I refused to sign his autograph because he was basically telling me, 'Hey, Matthew McConaughey, I need you to sign this autograph.'"
Lucas had to set the record straight, firmly stating, "I'm not Matthew McConaughey," but the persistent fan just didn't seem to get it. Ah, the joys of celebrity mix-ups.

The persistence of the fan was relentless, despite Josh Lucas's repeated attempts to set the record straight. Despite his continued protests, Lucas found himself faced with escalating hostility.
"It got weirder and weirder. The guy literally started yelling at me on the street, but he was yelling at McConaughey," he recalls, shaking his head at the memory. "That was a very strange one."
Reflecting on the odd encounter, Lucas muses that perhaps he should have just given in and signed the autograph. "I actually should have just said something ridiculously stupid," he chuckles, recognizing the absurdity of the situation.
As he looks back on the incident, Lucas can't help but shake his head, acknowledging, "It was a very weird moment in my life."
