FELONS IN THE FAMILY

It's a celebrity (adjacent) crime wave! See why stars' law-breaking relatives wound up behind bars

WOODY HARRELSON

It's like something out of a movie! The Natural Born Killers star is the son of an actual mobster and contract killer, though the felon was absent for much of the actor's childhood. Among several killings attributed to the 64-year-old's father is the 1979 murder-for-hire of a U.S. district judge on behalf of a drug dealer. Charles V. Harrelson was sentenced to life in prison and died in 2007.

TIM MCGRAW

The 58-year-old didn't learn his dad was baseball great Edwin “Tug” McGraw until he stumbled upon his birth certificate at age 11. While they eventually met, his dad denied fathering him until after the country music star turned 18. Maybe he should have stayed away from his newfound family: In 2003, Tug's brother Dennis was convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a neighbor and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison!
