Matthew McConaughey, the Oscar-winning actor and die-hard Texas Longhorns supporter, found himself in the middle of some good-natured trolling during Texas’ high-stakes clash with Ohio State. As he mingled with fans at Ohio Stadium, one Buckeye supporter tried to set a hilarious trap by offering him a scarlet Ohio State hat for a photo op. With his trademark charm and quick wit, McConaughey laughed off the attempt, saying, “I’m not wearing that,” while tipping his own cowboy hat — a moment that immediately drew laughs and cheers from the surrounding crowd.
Even as Texas ultimately fell 14-7 to the Buckeyes, McConaughey’s loyalty never wavered. He gamely posed for photos with Ohio State fans, proving he could embrace the fun without compromising his burnt-orange pride. Alongside him were fellow stars like Glen Powell and Peyton Manning, the latter there to support his nephew Arch Manning as he continues his journey as Texas’ quarterback. The mix of Hollywood and football royalty made the matchup feel like more than just a game — it was a cultural event.
Despite the loss, McConaughey made sure to send a defiant message to the Buckeye faithful as he exited the stadium. Flashing the iconic “Horns Up” hand sign, he stood firm against Ohio State’s trolling on the video board, symbolizing Texas’ resilience in the face of adversity. For Longhorns fans, his unwavering passion was a reminder that, win or lose, their team’s spirit runs deep. With eyes already on the next challenge, McConaughey’s sideline presence continues to embody the heart and pride of Texas football.
