The state of Texas is no stranger to celebrities.

We've all heard of the man known as Matthew David McConaughey right? He is a huge Texas Longhorn fan after all. But celebrities have made their way to the Lone Star State, and when they do, it certainly is an event.

Most of the time though, we aren't around when somebody who is highly regarded in Hollywood visits. Unless the visit is during an event, the chance of running into a celebrity is very slim. But what happens when the famous individual appears without an indication they're coming?

That occurred most recently in the city of Austin, where a famous "Anchorman" made his appearance well known. During a Texas Longhorns game no less!
