While Matthew and Camila McConaughey are no strangers to the spotlight, their teenage son captured the most attention as the family made a rare red carpet appearance.
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey stepped out in style with their 16-year-old son, Levi McConaughey, at the premiere of “The Rivals of Amziah King” during the SXSW Conference & Festivals.
The event occurred at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, on March 10, 2025.
The McConaughey family posed together on the red carpet, drawing attention with their coordinated yet individual styles.
Academy Award-winning actor Matthew looked sharp in a classic black suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a black tie. His signature wavy hair added to his timeless loo
Meanwhile, Camila opted for a bold, all-black ensemble. She wore a tailored double-breasted blazer adorned with metallic embellishments, matching wide-leg trousers, and subtle makeup that enhanced her natural beauty.
Her long, dark hair was styled in soft waves, completing her sophisticated appearance.
Levi, making a rare public appearance, displayed his unique sense of fashion. He sported a dark patterned button-up shirt with a relaxed black jacket. He finished off his outfit by wearing a pair of tan-colored pants.
A silver cross necklace added a touch of personality to his outfit. His curly hair and confident smile made him stand out on the red carpet.
Fans were quick to react to Levi’s presence at the event, with many commenting on his resemblance to his famous parents.
One Facebooker wrote, “Spitting image Of His MOM with a little bit of DAD [sic].” Another added, “Definitely a nice combo. Matthew’s smile [sic].”
Others praised his appearance, with one saying, “Handsome and he is dressed very nicely, good job mom and dad. Beautiful hair [sic]!” Another fan commented, “He has such a unique face! Handsome!”
Many also noted how Levi looks like both of his parents. One person stated, “Looks like mom [sic],” while another remarked, “The perfect mix of both his parents.”
On Instagram, fans shared similar thoughts, with one commenting, “Now he should be a model [sic]!” Another netizen added, “Talk about genetic jackpot [sic]!” A third noted, “Looks like his mom [sic].”
Levi’s presence at the premiere comes at an exciting time for him, as he is stepping into the world of acting. In September 2024, Deadline reported that Levi had landed a supporting role in “Way of the Warrior Kid,” an Apple and Skydance film based on the novel by Jocko Willink.
The movie follows a young boy who, with the help of his Navy SEAL uncle, transforms himself from a bullied and self-doubting kid into a confident warrior over the summer.
Levi stars alongside Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini, and Jude Hill, though details about his specific role remain under wraps. The project marks his feature film debut and his first major screen credit.
As the son of an Oscar-winning actor, Levi, represented by WME, has a seasoned mentor in his father. Speaking to People, Matthew shared some key advice he gave his son about acting.
“It’s one, you’ve got a natural ability. Two, how do we get specific about knowing where you’re coming from and where you’re going? Best acting for my money is when an actor’s caught in action, doing something,” explained the 55-year-old A-lister. “So you come into the scene, so the scene doesn’t feel like a fresh start and a fresh ending.”
He also encouraged Levi to embrace bold choices. “The other thing is, take risks,” he continued. “Don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself — I did it plenty of times, and it’s a lot easier to go big and come back down to reality than it is to come in under and push it to more energy later.”
Levi McConaughey’s red carpet moment at “The Rivals of Amziah King” premiere highlighted his growing presence in Hollywood. With a major film debut on the horizon and the guidance of his accomplished father, Levi is stepping into the entertainment industry with promise and confidence.
Interestingly enough, Levi isn’t the only McConaughey making headlines — just weeks before his red-carpet appearance, his younger sister, Vida, also found herself in the spotlight.
On January 23, 2025, Matthew and Vida attended the UT Women’s Basketball game against the Tennessee Volunteers, where fans couldn’t help but notice her striking resemblance to their mother, Camila.
At the game, Vida supported UT by rocking a cropped white and orange Texas Longhorns T-shirt paired with blue jeans. Matthew, matched her casual vibe in blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a suede jacket.

Another couldn’t help but point out, “She’s literally her mini!💜.” The comparisons kept pouring in, with someone saying, “That’s her twin ❤️.”
One fan was amused by how Vida didn’t take after her father, joking, “His genes didn’t even try.” Others were equally stunned, with one sharing, “She literally gave birth to herself 😮what a gorgeous baby girl❤️.”
More people marveled at the likeness, “Wow, absolute clone! Such a beautiful family 🤩.” Another echoed the sentiment, “Wow exactly like her mom.” And to sum it up, one fan gushed, “Stunning like her mom.”
Camila tied the knot with Matthew in 2012. The couple also shares two sons, Levi, 16, and Livingston, 12. The father-daughter outing comes a few weeks after Vida turned 15, on January 4, 2025.
Matthew celebrated Vida’s 15th birthday on Instagram with a heartfelt message. “Vida. 15 years. Thanks for being my tech guru, so savvy, and for loving to grow things. Love, Papai,” he wrote. The actor shared the sweet note alongside a throwback photo of his young daughter planting in the garden.
Meanwhile, Camila marked Vida’s 15th birthday with a heartfelt tribute, celebrating her daughter’s strength and individuality. She captioned her post, “May you never forget that the first person to love is YOU…. Your name says it all…Vida! We love you so much words can not express! 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛.”
The 41-year-old shared a collection of photos, including a sweet selfie with Vida, showcasing their striking resemblance as they smiled for the camera.
Levi also joined in the birthday celebrations. He shared a couple of throwback photos, including one where his sister hugged him tightly and another where the siblings were dressed in mystical costumes. Alongside the snaps, he wrote, “Happy 15th birthday sis, love you ❤️.”
Matthew and Camila adore their children, often bringing them along to industry events, where the family enjoys sharing special moments. Matthew noted that he fully embraced fatherhood to the point that it has even enriched his career.
He has shared how being a father has made him a better artist and actor. For instance, Matthew’s children’s ability to see things for the first time and ask innocent questions constantly inspires him.
He explained, “I become a better storyteller because I have kids, meaning, I come home from work on something like True Detective, and my 4-year-old kid goes, ‘What’d you do today?’ I cannot tell them what the show’s really about, it’s not age-appropriate. So I have to go into a parable for them.”
Fatherhood is at the core of Matthew McConaughey’s existence as he shared, “It’s the only thing I always knew I wanted to do.” Since his youth, Matthew often spent time with his father and other fathers, and it was through these moments that he realized fatherhood was the key to a fulfilling and successful life.
However, Matthew revealed that he once doubted he would find the woman to marry and raise kids with. It is when he let go of his expectations that Camila entered his life. Today, he is proud to raise three confident and considerate children, each pursuing their dreams.
For him, this is his greatest achievement. He hopes that 30 years from now, his children will be able to say, “My dad is one of my best friends.”
Levi’s birthday post to his dad in 2023 showed his deep respect and admiration for his father. He noted that while many know Matthew as an actor and writer, he knows him as the father who always makes time for his family and is there for them through everything.
Levi also expressed gratitude for the lessons Matthew has taught him, especially about appreciating life’s journey and not just the destination.
Levi’s heartfelt message is a testament to Matthew’s strong bond with his kids. This deep connection with his children remains at the core of who he is, making their bond unbreakable.
