Matthew McConaughey’s son shares sweet tribute for actor’s birthday: ‘The man who’s always there for us’

Matthew McConaughey’s son has recently shared a post on social media in honor of his father’s 54th birthday.

Taking to his official Instagram account on Saturday, the actor’s son Levi posted a heartfelt tribute to honor his father on the day.

“People know Matthew McConaughey as an Actor and now a writer, but I know him as my father,” he wrote. “The man who always makes time for us no matter what, 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.

“The journeys just getting started… Happy birthday Papai,” he added.

Have a look at the post below:

The 15-year-old also included a short carousel of photos, which included some personal family photos.

The first image showed the entire family, including Matthew, his wife Camila Alves, and all three of his children including Levi, Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10.

The second image was taken from what looks like a baseball game showing the young boy posing with his father, and both the third and fourth photos were also family photos, showing the family posing together.

Upon posting the birthday message, hundreds of fans took to the comments to commend the teen on his kind words for his dad.

“What a great tribute!”, wrote one user while another added: “What a beautiful family. God bless.”

A third also stated: “What an amazing family! It brings me a lot of joy to see the ‘real’ side of actors I love—their family, who they are when not acting. I always have said that your dad seems like the neighbor I wish I had,” before concluding: “Such a good man, father, and husband. Happiest of birthdays!”

Others also took to the comments to wish the star happy birthday on his 54th.

It was reported that the Dallas Buyers Club actor celebrated the special occasion in his home state of Texas with a football match.

The event comes in a long list of celebratory things the family did over the weekend.

Matthew and his wife, 41, were spotted attending a party celebrating the launch of their new Pantalones Organic Tequila, before catching the Texas Longhorns beating the Kansas State Wildcats at the University of Texas in Austin.

In a clip shared on Twitter better known now as X, the 54-year-old was seen being gifted a birthday cake, and a bottle of his own tequila as gifts while he joined the hosts of Big Noon Kickoff at the game.

“It’s not too early to start sipping this, is it?”, he can be heard saying, joking with a crowd of fans who had gathered behind him outside.

“Here’s to 54,” he added, before opening the bottle and taking a big ol’ swig.

Then in a follow-up video shared to the platform, Matthew was seen joining the Longhorns on the pitch as they followed him in carrying out his infamous chest-beating salute from the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street ahead of kickoff time.

Well, it seems as though he had a great time – happy birthday Matthew McConaughey!
