Actor and well-documented Redskins fan Matthew McConaughey is at Monday’s season opener against the Steelers at FedEx Field with his wife, Camila Alves. McConaughey, who inspired the Redskins with a speech at a charity event before their Week 4 win over the Eagles last season, roamed the sidelines before Monday’s game and chatted with current and former players, including rookie Su’a Cravens.
Cravens, who played his college football 10 miles from Hollywood, at Southern Cal, posed for a photo with McConaughey and even snagged an autograph.
McConaughey told Breaking Burgundy’s Ben Standig that his burgundy suit was “special-made for this game.”
“We need to shoot ‘We Are Marshall II,’ McConaughey!” ESPN analyst and former Thundering Herd star Randy Moss shouted when the actor was shown during the pregame show. “And put me in it!”
McConaughey isn’t the only celebrity in Landover on Monday. Local Olympians Kevin Durant, Helen Maroulis, Ginny Thrasher, Lauren Kieffer, Ali Krieger and Ashley Nee are in attendance, while Katie Ledecky is scheduled to make an appearance on the video board.
Maury Povich and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell are also in the house.
