Matthew McConaughey may be one of the biggest names in Hollywood but back in the early 90s, he was just another young boy crushing on a teenage Reese Witherspoon!

The Oscar-winning actor made the confession during a rapid Q&A segment on The Ellen Show with Witherspoon sitting next to him as they promoted their upcoming animated film on the show.

“Well, I did have a little bit of a crush on [the] young lady sitting to the left of me from Man in the Moon,” revealed McConaughey, much to the surprise of Witherspoon herself who responded with a shocked, “What?”

“It was one of my early, early crushes and if you’ve seen the movie, you’d see it’s inevitable. What’s not to have a crush on?" McConaughey added.

Man in the Moon marked Witherspoon's film debut in 1991 as a 14-year-old.

McConaughey and Witherspoon have, over the years, starred in  a number of films together including 2013’s Mud and the animated Sing films.
