Martha Stewart wasn’t prepared for Matthew McConaughey’s intensity for his role in the Super Bowl commercial they appeared in together.
In a conversation with Kate Hudson on "The Martha Stewart Podcast," Stewart said, "He got me scared actually… Oh my God, yeah, he scared me."
McConaughey and Stewart appeared in an Uber Eats commercial that aired during the game, and the Oscar-winner played multiple characters in the full version.

They shared a scene where they both played executives in a boardroom.
"He is a method actor," she explained. "He had to play 10 characters, and he got into each character, and it takes him about 15 minutes."
Hudson, who co-starred with McConaughey in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "Fool’s Gold," noted that "he’d make weird sounds" and "does crazy things."
