It's not quite "The Parent Trap," but Matthew McConaughey, 50, and Hugh Grant, 59, might be forming a little family of their own by setting up their parents.
The co-stars of Guy Ritchie's crime and action movie "The Gentlemen," which will hit the big screen Friday, are playing cupid for their parents. McConaughey's mother, Mary Kathlene McCabe, 88, and Grant's father, James Grant, 91, have been set up by their two sons.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Grant and McConaughey gave an update on a plan they had previously mentioned in an interview last month.
Discussing their holiday plans with Mashable in December, Grant asked McConaughey, "Would your 87-year-old mom like a nice 91-year-old Englishman?"
Now, it appears that the setup is coming to fruition.
"Next week, they're supposed to meet, and we probably won't see them for the rest of the night," McConaughey told Entertainment Tonight.
Grant joked that their encounter would certainly be "red hot."
If the match fizzles, McConaughey told Entertainment Tonight his only requirement for future matches for his beloved mom is that the bachelor be over 85 years old.
"The Gentlemen" which zones in on Mickey Pearson (McConaughey) an American ex-pat with a "marijuana empire" in London who is looking to get out of the business, also stars Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell and Eddie Marsan.
