Watch: Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves' Kids Make Rare Red Carpet AppearanceFor Matthew McConaughey, acting has become a family affair. Indeed, the 55-year-old reflected on what it was like starring alongside his 17-year-old son Levi McConaughey for his feature film acting debut as well as his mom Kay McConaughey, 93, during the world premiere of their film The Lost Bus at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. "He's introducing himself and I happen to be alongside him and in some of the same scenes of him which is pretty cool," Matthew exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker of his son during a Sept. 5 joint interview. "Three generations. My mother has always been a performer and so she's been films. I had no idea he was even interested." And because wasn't sure his son was serious about launching his acting career, the Interstellar star-who was also joined by his wife Camila Alves on the red carpet-had initially ignored Levi's requests to audition for the role of his onscreen son.photosMatthew McConaughey's Family Photos"He came back four times asking me, 'Can I read for it?" Matthew recalled, adding that he soon after pitched the idea to the casting director. "They got him on camera, read for it and I said 'Wow, he can hold the frame, he's got the instinct for it.'" So, they decided to put the decision in the hands of director Paul Greengrass. "They send it to the director and they say, 'If we do that, let's take the name off-my last name off-to send to the director,'" Matthew explained. "And Paul looks at it and says, 'That's the kid!'" As for how Levi reacted to landing his debut role in the intense wildfire drama? Well, he was completely taken by surprise. "I knew it was a good audition and I was like, 'OK. This is good,'" he told E! "But I did not think I was going to get the part."(Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images)"I've never acted before, especially on this level, and so I got the call," he continued. "I remember my dad gets the call and he handed me the phone and I'm like, 'Okay?' And it's the director Paul Greengrass and he goes, "Hey bud, how would you like to come over to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and play Shaun?' And I was like, 'What??'" And though the teenager tried to play it cool at first, Levi could only keep it together for a few moments until he was overwhelmed with emotions. "I was trying not to start crying on the phone so I was like, 'Yeah, that would be amazing. Thank you so much. This is great,'" he recalled. "I hang up the phone and I started crying."
