Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey gave fans an unexpected close-up on social media, revealing the painful aftermath of a bee sting that left one of his eyes swollen shut.
The 54-year-old posted a selfie on Instagram showing his visibly swollen left eye. Despite the apparent discomfort, McConaughey maintained his trademark grin in the photo, captioning it with a playful pun: “bee swell.”
The actor’s good-natured approach to the incident prompted an outpouring of support and humor from his followers. Many seized the opportunity to riff on McConaughey’s famous catchphrase from his breakout role in Dazed and Confused, with comments like “Are you all right, all right, all right?” and “Now he can only see ‘all right, all right, all right.'”
While the exact location of the bee encounter remains unclear, it likely occurred near McConaughey’s home in Texas. The Dallas Buyers Club star and his wife, Camila Alves, relocated their family from Los Angeles to the Lone Star State in 2014, seeking a change of pace and a return to their roots.
In a March interview with Southern Living magazine, McConaughey reflected on the positive impact of the move. “Ritual came back,” he said, describing a renewed emphasis on family traditions, including regular Sunday church attendance, sports activities and nightly family dinners.
The actor and his wife are raising their three children — Levi, Vida and Livingston — in Texas, embracing a lifestyle that McConaughey claims has brought his family closer together. He highlighted the importance of shared experiences, such as “staying up after [dinner] telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and eating while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before.”
As McConaughey recovers from his encounter with the bee, fans can look forward to his upcoming projects, including a voice role in the animated film Sing 2 and his continued work as a professor at the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody College of Communication.
