Matthew McConaughey recently had a rather *bee-lievable* encounter that left him looking less like a Hollywood heartthrob and more like a pirate who lost his eyepatch!
The 54-year-old “Magic Mike” star took to social media on Wednesday (July 10) to reveal that a mischievous bee decided to get up close and personal with his face. The result? A bee sting that landed right around his eye, leaving him looking like he’d been on the wrong end of a bar brawl.
In a photo that accompanied his post, McConaughey’s right eye was so swollen it looked like he was auditioning for the role of a Cyclops in a Greek mythology movie. Despite the painful situation, our favorite Texan still managed to flash that signature smile, proving that not even a bee sting can keep him down.
He cheekily captioned the picture “bee swell,” because if there’s one thing McConaughey knows how to do, it’s turn a pun-ishing situation into a laugh. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide any more juicy details about how this buzzing drama unfolded.
We’re buzzing with hope that he has a speedy recovery and that the bees will think twice before messing with Hollywood royalty again! 🐝✨
