Matthew and Camila always wanted to instill the value of hard work in their kids.
“Responsibility breeds freedom,” the Magic Mike star told Extra in 2023. “You take care of your stuff, chores, you take care of yourself, you will have more freedoms in the future.”
The couple started involving Levi in their career endeavors when he was young.
“I have my kids come out, we put them to work,” Matthew said at HISTORYTalks in 2020 about having his kids on set. “We give them a little cash for catering.”
Levi has also publicly complimented his father. In a touching birthday message shared on Instagram in November 2023, Matthew’s eldest praised his role model.
“People know Matthew McConaughey as an actor and now a writer, but I know him as my father,” he wrote in the caption. “The man who’s always there for us no matter what, and the man who taught me to appreciate the journey and not just the destination.”

While speaking with PEOPLE at the recent MJ&M two-day fundraising event in Austin, which was put together with the McConaugheys, football coach Mack Brown and singer-songwriter Jack Ingram, Camila, noted that her oldest son had caught the acting bug.
“Levi, our oldest, he’s getting to a little bit of acting. Well, I shouldn’t say a little bit,” Camila told PEOPLE. “He’s always done things like worked behind the camera or worked on sets or in the song department when we’re traveling for Matthew’s work.”
But now he’s going to be in front of the camera.
“He got a part on one of the movies that Matthew did called The Lost Bus, and then from that he got auditions to go try out for this other movie, and he did everything. He earned it himself,” she said proudly.
“It was beautiful to see,” she said. “He did a bunch of auditions and then tons of meetings, and then had to go in person and really did the whole thing. And then he got the part. So he’s actually got a proper part in a movie called Way of the Warrior Kid starring Chris Pratt.”
