The 53-year-old actor continued to share that during a family vacation, his mother brought up a special connection she may have had with Harrelson’s father.

"This is what we're on the precipice of now," the "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" star responded.

"It's a little harder for me because he's asking me to take the chance to go, 'Wait a minute, you're telling me my dad may not be my dad of 53 years' and believe in it? I got a little more skin in the game."
