Alright alright alright -- we've got a lookalike on our hands.

Reddit user EmberRainbow posted a picture of his great great grandpa who, besides from being a looker, also seems to be twin to an Oscar winner.

He has the same slightly dazed and confused looks of Matthew McConaughey. The sepia photograph seems straight out of a souvenir Western photo mixed with some test shots from True Detective.
