It was not alright, alright, alright.

Martha Stewart admitted Matthew McConaughey “scared” her with his method acting while filming their Super Bowl 2025 commercial for Uber Eats.

The lifestyle guru discussed the experience with the actor’s repeated co-star Kate Hudson on Tuesday’s episode of Stewart’s eponymous podcast.

“So I just worked with your co-star Matthew McConaughey,” Stewart began.

When the “Running Point” star asked whether McConaughey was “wild,” Stewart jokingly replied, “He got me scared actually.”

Stewart, 83, revealed that he is a board member of Uber Eats and took on the role of preparing a Caesar salad in a recent commercial alongside Matthew McConaughey, 55, who showcased his versatility by portraying various characters. McConaughey’s ability to embody different roles earned him praise from Stewart, who jokingly referred to him as a method actor during the shoot.

Hudson, 45, seemed confused by Stewart’s admission as she attempted to clarify whether she meant McConaughey was a method actor “of commercials.”

“Of characters,” Stewart responded. “Because he had to play 10 characters, and he got into each character. It takes him about 15 minutes.”

The star-studded Uber Eats commercial, which aired during the highly anticipated big game on Feb. 9, featured McConaughey portraying iconic figures such as legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka and an NFL executive. The collaboration between Stewart and McConaughey, along with other celebrities, added an entertaining element to the advertisement.

One memorable scene from the commercial involved Stewart, Charli XCX, and McConaughey, where the latter humorously suggested that Caesars Superdome was named after a salad as part of a conspiracy to promote food sales. The light-hearted banter and creative storyline made the commercial a standout moment during the event.

“He’s grunting and breathing and jumping up and down. And that scared me,” Stewart recalled of McConaughey’s preparation.

Hudson — who starred with the actor in “Fool’s Gold” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” — seemed to understand where Stewart was coming from, as she agreed, “He’d make weird sounds. He makes sounds and does crazy things.”

“You probably just wanted to tell him to shut the hell up,” Stewart quipped in response.

“You just wait, It’s like his warm-up,” Hudson said. “We have so much fun when we’re working. It’s been a long time.”

The actress went on to call McConaughey one of “the most fun people to work with,” citing their mutual competitiveness.
