Timothée Chalamet Spills on Matthew McConaughey’s Gross Prank on ‘Interstellar’ Set

by

Timothée Chalamet recounted a funny story about Matthew McConaughey during a recent event at the University of Texas at Austin. The actors, who first appeared together in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar more than ten years ago, showed that they’ve become even closer and more playful with time.

Timothée Chalamet shared a story about a shocking prank played on his last day of filming. He found a large, unpleasant surprise in the toilet of his trailer and felt incredibly disrespected. He initially suspected the crew, specifically the grips—the strong, physical members of the team—and jokingly confronted them, asking if anyone had been responsible. They all denied it.

The mystery was finally solved when Timothée Chalamet spoke to Christopher Nolan. Chalamet explained, “I went over to Nolan, and he pointed to Matthew McConaughey, who was grinning mischievously.” When asked about it, McConaughey characteristically responded with a cryptic explanation: “In Texas, it’s a coming-of-age ritual.” Staying true to his style, McConaughey referred to the incident as a “souvenir.”

The story had the audience in stitches and showed off Matthew McConaughey’s fun-loving personality, even when filming a dramatic movie. Despite the joke, Timothée Chalamet and McConaughey remain close friends, and Chalamet frequently seeks advice from his former colleague.

Both actors have achieved significant success since appearing in Interstellar. Timothée Chalamet recently received his third Oscar nomination for Marty Supreme, a sports drama that came out in late 2025. He’s also set to return as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Three, coming to theaters on December 18th, alongside Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Robert Pattinson.

Matthew McConaughey has been keeping busy with several projects. His new crime thriller, The Rivals of Amziah King, featuring Kurt Russell and Cole Sprouse, is coming out on August 21st and is already getting excellent reviews. He just finished filming The Lost Bus for Apple TV+ with America Ferrera, and he continues to teach and serve as a cultural ambassador at the University of Texas.

While the unexpected trailer reveal ten years ago caught Timothée Chalamet off guard, it also created a memorable moment for fans. Their recent meeting in Austin proved that strong friendships can last in Hollywood, even after unusual experiences.
