Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant have successfully played matchmaker for their widowed parents.

Co-stars of the upcoming film “The Gentleman,” the two actors entertained the idea of setting up McConaughey’s mother Kay McConaughey, 88, with Grant’s father — James Grant, 91 — during a December interview with Mashable. In a new Q&A, Matthew reveals that their parents have officially agreed to hit the town together.

“His father’s 91, my mother’s 88,” McConaughey told Entertainment Tonight. “Yeah, why not? Next week, they’re supposed to meet, and we probably won’t see them for the rest of the night.”

McConaughey’s father, Jim McConaughey, died in 1992. He and Kay had an on-again, off-again relationship, marrying each other three separate times. Matthew was conceived shortly after their third wedding.

James Grant is a widower, as wife and Hugh’s mother, Finvola Grant, passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2001 at the age of 67.
