Have you ever thought of table tennis as an extreme sport? Well neither have we, but Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson turned a game of ping pong into a several hours battle of heroic proportions.
The two stars ended a match covered in blood and bruises, surrounded by broken glass; as if they were in a bar fight.
Matthew tried to explain the bizarre situation saying, “He’s a really fun ping pong player. I’m pretty good, he’s real good… We had a match one day at a house I was renting on Mulholland (Drive in California) and we had 48 hours with nothing to do, no commitments… and we start playing ping pong.”
“All of a sudden he hits a great shot… it goes down in the corner, it’s bouncing under the lawn mower in the garage and I keep it moving and pop it back up and pop it across the garage, it bounces around. He runs over and knocks over a bunch of s**t and keeps it moving,” McConaughey continues.
“About two hours later the game has turned into do-not-let-the-ball-stop, so we’re dripping in sweat, I’ve got blood on me, he’s hit this tree, he’s run into stuff, there’s broken glass everywhere – but we never let the ball stop.”
Okey… Reminds us of that Friends episode where the ball can’t drop… EVER!
