The 16-year-old is the son of the ‘Interstellar’ star and his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey
Levi McConaughey is celebrating his actor dad on Father’s Day.
On Sunday, June 15, the 16-year-old son of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey shared a series of photos on his Instagram in honor of his dad on the summer holiday. In one photo, a much younger Levi stands with his dad on the beach as Matthew looks out to sea.
Another photo shows Levi’s entire family — including Camila and his two siblings, Livingston, 12, and Vida, 15 — as they attend a football game together. A final photo shows Matthew and Levi doing press together at an event.
“It never gets old, somehow neither do you,” jokes the teenager. “Happy Father’s Day to papai, father dearest, poperz; dad(who we never call you by) nevertheless your the best dad we could ever ask for and we love you for every bit of it. Happy fathers day again to my tennis partner, we sweat it out.”

This past May, Camila spoke with PEOPLE about how her older son Levi had already 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 shared. “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.”

Levi spoke with PEOPLE at the premiere of Matthew’s film The Rivals of Amziah King at SXSW Film Festival in Austin in March.
While at the premiere, Levi did his first red carpet interview, chatting about his upcoming acting debut in the coming-of-age film Way of the Warrior Kid. When asked if his dad gave him any advice for acting in his first film, the teenager shared that there were a few things his famous father said.
“I mean, he gave me a lot of advice, and he was able to mentor me in a couple different ways,” Levi explained. “But I’d say the main thing for acting, and pardon my French, is no b——- in your bones and own what you’re doing and make a choice regardless if that ends up being the right one or the wrong one — commit to it and know what you’re saying.”
