Matthew McConaughey's Son Levi Proves He's Following in His Dad's Footsteps With First Acting Role

You don't need to be a true detective to see how Levi Alves McConaughey is following his dad's career path. 

Matthew McConaughey's 16-year-old son—who he shares with wife of 12 years Camila Alves—scored his first acting role opposite Chris Pratt in the forthcoming movie Way of the Warrior Kid. 

And those aren't the only details that have been revealed about the flick, which is based on the coming-of-age book of the same name by Jocko Willink. The film—produced by Apple and Skydance Film—is set to be directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol and written by Will Staples.

And Matthew is already throwing his support behind his son's new career endeavor. In fact, the Oscar winner was spotted visiting the teenager on set of the movie last month.

In photos obtained by People from his Aug. 30 visit, Matthew stood next to Levi—clad in a red flannel and jeans—while sharing an off-camera chat with another person. For the occasion, the 54-year-old rocked a blue button-down shirt, khaki pants, a brown hat, sunglasses and a headset around his neck. 

And while Levi can certainly soak up some advice from Matthew when it comes to acting, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star—who also shares daughter Vida, 14, and son Livingston, 11, with Camila—previously shared that he's, likewise, learned a lot from his kids. 

"Having children I know has made me a better artist and has made me a better actor," Matthew told People in an interview published April 10, "because kids see things for the first time all the time. Their questions are innocent."

The Magic Mike alum specifically recalled a teaching moment from his children while filming the 2014 crime drama True Detective alongside costar Woody Harrelson.

"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?'" Matthew remembered. "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."

He added, "I had to become a better storyteller to tell my kids about a good guy, a bad guy and a monster in this, to tell them the parable of the story I was in."
