McConaughey met Tendulkar

On Sunday, Sachin shared several pictures from his US trip on Instagram. The first of them featured retired cricketer actor Matthew McConaughey on an American football field. In the caption, Sachin explained that it was on the sidelines of the Red River Rivalry Game, the annual college football rivalry match between border rivals Texas and Oklahoma. This year it was played on October 13 at the Cotton Bowl Stadium.

In the caption, Sachin tagged McConaughey and wrote, “Topped off with an interstellar conversation with True Detective, @officiallymcconaughey,” a reference to the actor’s appearance in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar as well as his critically acclaimed TV series True Detective. Referring to it humorously.

Sachin also wrote about his other experiences in the US: “From catching the Red River Rivalry and @dallascowboys game to the @national_cricket_league_usa final, it’s been an eventful few days. I also met some enthusiastic young cricketers and spent time with them. On the field – it’s an exciting time for our beloved sport in America,” he wrote.

Fans were surprised to see both of them posing together. One commented, “Not the crossover I ever imagined.” Others were surprised to see the two of them together, as many wondered if Matthew even knew what cricket was or how big Sachin was.

McConaughey’s upcoming movies

Matthews was last seen (rather heard) in a voice cameo in Deadpool and the Wolverine. His last full-length live-action role was in The Gentlemen in 2019. However, the actor has two big projects. He will play the lead role in the British crime thriller The Rivals of Amaziah King and will next be seen in Paul Greengrass’s The Lost Bus. Both films will be released in 2025.
