Woody Harrelson Delivers a Spot-On Matthew McConaughey Impression
During an Esquire-hosted roundtable, the cast of Now You See Me: Now You Don't—the next film in the popular magic heist series—shared stories about their experiences on set, their careers, and plenty of laughs along the way. The discussion included Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, and Isla Fisher, who returns for the third installment after missing the 2016 sequel.
In the chat, Harrelson stole the show when he launched into a hilarious impression of Matthew McConaughey, drawing laughs from the group as he delivered McConaughey’s signature drawl while saying “margaritas.”
Before Harrelson’s moment, Isla Fisher reflected on working with director Baz Luhrmann for the 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby. She confessed that she didn’t fully understand her character, Myrtle, until her hairstyle was complete—despite Luhrmann’s reassurance that she already embodied the role.
“You’re Myrtle.”
Fisher explained how costume and design details can shift an actor’s mindset and create a deeper connection to the role.
“It tricks your brain into thinking you're actually immersed in someone new.”
The conversation took another amusing turn when Harrelson quoted Jack Nicholson, delivering yet another flawless impersonation.
“Let the uniform do the acting.”
