This is actually the worst way to get recognised.” He continued, “This woman came up to me and she was so nervous, and she said, ‘O my god. You’re in that movie, Failure to Launch?’ I said, ‘Yeah’. [She said,] ‘With Matthew McConaughey?’ and I said, ‘Yeah.'”

The woman then asked the actor, “Can I get your autograph?” to which an elated Bradley said, “Absolutely, absolutely, do you have a pen? What’s your name?” As the actor wrote it down and handed the autograph to the woman, the latter said, “Oh no, no. Can you write Matthew?”
