One follower cleverly quipped, “All eye, all eye, all eye,” referencing McConaughey’s famous catchphrase from “Dazed and Confused.” Another fan humorously linked the incident to McConaughey’s memoir, “Green Lights,” commenting, “The bee said ‘there’s a green light.'” A third commenter playfully asked, “How hard did Woody H hit you, man?” alluding to McConaughey’s close friendship with actor Woody Harrelson.

McConaughey’s fans were quick to join in on the puns, with one writing, “Bee careful!! 💛” and another adding, “Hope you’ll Bee Alright, Alright, Alright 🙏🏻,” referencing his iconic catchphrase. Some fans even complimented his looks despite the swollen eye, with one user stating, “You know something, even with this eye a mess you still are beautiful,” and another simply writing, “Still handsome.”

The bee sting incident coincided with Matthew McConaughey celebrating his eldest son Levi’s 16th birthday. In a heartfelt Instagram video, McConaughey shared some fatherly advice with Levi, reflecting on the journey of growing up. “Alright Levi, coming on that age, buddy. About to be out on your own,” the sentimental father, 54, began in a voiceover. “Me and your mom hope we’ve done as good of a job as we can. You’re not gonna really have us as a safety net out there in the wonderful, wild world forever.”

Matthew McConaughey continued, “Just go out, enjoy. Be aware of your surroundings. Be yourself. Know when to say yes, know when to say no, know when to say maybe. See the good in everybody else, but know that not everyone else is always paying attention. Take your time. Enjoy the journey.”

The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor shares Levi with his wife, Camila Alves. The couple also has two other children, Vida, 14, and Livingston, 11. McConaughey and Alves recently celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on June 10, which the actor marked with a sweet photo of himself kissing Alves’ forehead, captioning it, “thank you #happyanniversary.”

I hope it goes down soon!
