JLo Got Me Out of a Major Mess in Mexico!!!
Published
Matthew McConaughey learned fame has its perks … but apparently Jennifer Lopez‘s fame has even better ones.
The actor revealed on Thursday’s episode of Josh Horowitz‘s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that name-dropping JLo once got him out of a “major, major mess” during a late-night police stop in Mexico.
Matthew says he was driving a nice truck way down south when officers pulled him over … and he quickly realized the “gringo” behind the wheel had caught their attention.
He started reaching for his wallet as the situation heated up … but then tried a different form of identification — his JLo connection!
Matthew asked the officers if they knew Jennifer and had seen their 2001 rom-com, “The Wedding Planner” … before proudly informing them, “Yeah, yeah, it was me.”
Just like that … the traffic stop turned into a meet-and-greet … with the officers snapping photos with Matthew before sending him on his merry way.
No ticket, no trouble, just a few selfies … alright, alright, alright!
