Matthew McConaughey is an American actor that first gained attention in the 1993 comedy "Dazed and Confused." He went on to excel in many other supporting roles in films, including "Angels in the Outfield." His first leading role came in 1996 when he starred in "A Time to Kill." Following this, McConaughey starred in films of many different genres throughout the late 90s, which showed his range as an actor. 

One particular genre that he excelled in was romantic comedies. This genre dominated the films he starred in throughout the 2000s. Some of his more popular films were "The Wedding Planner," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "Failure to Launch" and "Fool's Gold." Playing a romantic lead so many times established McConaughey as a Hollywood heartthrob. 

Starting in 2011 with "The Lincoln Lawyer," McConaughey began appearing in more dramatic films. In 2013 he received critical success playing the role of Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club." His performance in the film earned McConaughey numerous accolades including the Academy Award for Best Actor. The following year he starred in the HBO series "True Detective" which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. 

Outside of his impressive career, McConaughey is also a family man. He married his wife, Brazilian model Camila Alves, in 2012. The couple shares three children named Levi, Vida and Livingston. In 2020, Camila shared a photo of her and Levi on Instagram and fans were shocked by how much the boy resembled his father. Read on to learn more and to see the photo for yourself. 

Matthew McConaughey looked like a total family man when he stepped out on the red carpet in 2019 with his beautiful wife, three children, and his 87-year-old mother. The award-winning actor was being honored at the Texas Medal Of Arts Awards in Austin. However, we think the real honor goes to how doting of a father he is.

It was a family affair for the actor as he showed how grown-up his children had become at the awards night. They looked like stars themselves, Levi, his eldest son wore a beige plaid suit, while Vida, dazzled in a lavender dress with black strappy shoes according to People. His youngest child, Livingston, looked adorable in a dapper suit that was finished with a bow tie. 

McConaughey's wife, Camila Alves stunned in a beautiful floral gown. The couple first met at a bar where McConaughey spotted Camila from across the room, he told Southern Living that with one look at her he said to himself, "Get out of the chair and go get her." The couple was married in 2012 and are still happily married and live together with their three kids.

The actor spoke about raising his kids with Camila during an interview on the Today show. McConaughey said, "My wife and I have a similar moral bottom line. When kids try to good cop, bad cop ya, we're on the same page. If they try to play us, we give the same answer. We also have a lot of fun. We can shape them, but they are who they are."

In October 2020, Camila shared a photo of her and Levi appreciating a chocolate chip cookie on Instagram. She captioned the post:

"The look on our faces says it all..the BEST SUGAR-FREE chocolate chip cookie skillet recipe from our friend @roccodispirito! 🍪🎉 It's been a week full of celebration with @officiallymcconaughey's #Greenlights book release so we had an excuse to make this amazing dessert. Judges at home give it a 10/10! Linked the recipe in my stories so you can all try it now!"

Fans couldn't stop pointing out how much Levi looks like his dad. "Omg he looks just like Matthew," one user commented, while another person added, "Omg that's a mini Matthew McConaughey right there."

Others brought up how good-looking Levi is, and mentioned that he looks like both of his parents. "Wow, if that isn't a Brazilian Matthew McConaughey," wrote another commenter, while another message read, "He's so handsome! A good mix of you both."

The loving father shared that his wife is usually the disciplinarian in their house. "Sometimes loving your kids means giving them just what they want," McConaughey shared. "Other times, it means tough love. Affluent people can give their kids everything they want, but they're not usually going to get what they need. Loving a child is a lot harder if you really give a damn."

The Academy Award winner added that telling a child no "takes a lot more energy," and so, "It's a lot easier to say 'yes.'" According to Town and Country, Camila laughed when she heard him say this. 

This prompted McConaughey to say, "From the snicker that my wife's giving me, it seems that I'm more consistently the yes guy. She's probably right."
