AceShowbiz - Judy Greer recently shared a memorable moment from her early career involving her co-star Matthew McConaughey during the production of the 2001 romantic comedy The Wedding Planner.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Judy Greer recounted how she found herself in a difficult financial situation while attending the film’s table read in New York City. She had parked her car via valet at the Roosevelt Hotel but soon realized she didn’t have enough money to retrieve it.

"I valeted my car; I didn't know any better," Judy Greer explained. "I didn't have enough money to get my car out of the valet because I was so broke."

While on a pay phone in the hotel lobby trying to call for help, Judy Greer was overheard by Matthew McConaughey, who generously gave her $20 to cover the valet fee. She described the gesture as both mortifying and heroic.

The film, directed by Adam Shankman, centers on Mary Fiore, played by Jennifer Lopez, a successful wedding planner in San Francisco. The plot follows her as she manages the largest wedding of her career but finds herself falling for the groom, Steve Edison, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey. The story explores whether she will help the groom marry his fiancée or pursue her own chance at love.

Judy Greer played the role of Penny, the best friend to Jennifer Lopez’s character. Reflecting on her time filming The Wedding Planner, she fondly remembered Matthew McConaughey’s kindness and daily routine, noting his relaxed demeanor as he arrived for hair and makeup in pajamas while sipping Yerba mate tea.

Although Judy Greer has not worked with Matthew McConaughey since that film, she suspects his warm personality remains unchanged. Following the success of The Wedding Planner, which performed well at the box office, Judy Greer continued to secure roles in other romantic comedies including 13 Going on 30 and 27 Dresses.

This anecdote highlights a touching behind-the-scenes moment from a popular rom-com.
