Snoop Doggdid his best to make sureMatthew McConaughey‘s weed smoking inThe Beach Bumwas as authentic as possible — even if that meant the actor spent half a day uttering nonsense.
While filming the comedy (out now), the “Gin and Juice” rapper switched out one of the film’s prop joints for some real marijuana, accidentally getting McConaughey stoned out of his mind.
The actor, 49, walked Jimmy Kimmel through what happened during an appearance alongside Snoop Dogg, 47, on Thursday’s episode of the ABC late night show. Turns out this all went down during the first take of the first scene McConaughey and Snoop were filming together for the movie.
“We do the scene and it’s about an eight-minute take, [which is] a long take if you’re passing a joint back and forth and you’re smoking hardcore to the heels of your feet,” McConaughey explained onJimmy Kimmel Live. “So the scene goes on and right after the scene I just feel like, ‘Man, I’m not sure that was a prop…’ And I look over and Snoop goes, ‘Yo, Moondog, that wasn’t prop weed, that was Snoop weed.’ ”
“I said, ‘Okay man. Buckle up because here we go!’ ” McConaughey said.

From there, things got messy. According to Snoop, McConaughey rapped for “13 hours straight.”
“I didn’t speak another word of English, really,” McConaughey said. “It was one of those highs where I didn’t really catch my breath until 5:30 the next day.”
Snoop had a good sense of humor about it, filling McConaughey in on the details. The actor recalls Snoop telling him, “You were great, Moondog. You hit 4 in the park home runs.”
TheBeach Bumis acclaimed director Harmony Korine’s first film since 2012’sSpring Breakers,and brings McConaughey back to his roots with comedies likeDazed and Confused.
In addition to McConaughey and Snoop, the film also stars Isla Fisher, Stefania LaVie Owen, Zac Efron, Martin Lawrence,Jonah Hilland Jimmy Buffett.
As for McConaughey and Snoop’s friendship, the rapper said on Thursday’sJimmy Kimmel Livethat the two were destined to be pals.
“It’s magic. I think certain people in life are meant for each other,” he said. “I think Matthew and I were meant for each other. It’s meant to be.”
