Matthew’s bilingual son
Matthew McConaughey has admitted that his 20-month old son with
Camila Alves speaks better Portuguese than him.
“Levi speaks a whole lot more Portuguese than Papa does. I get a little heck for it in the household,” he says. “I’ve come to find that I do think it is actually healthy for our relationship that I don’t speak much Portuguese because she doesn’t have to whisper if she’s talking noise on me. She can speak out loud. I don’t know what she’s saying, but it sounds great… someone can say something about you right in front of your face and you don’t even know it’s about you.”
The doting dad also has high hopes for his son, with a few career options already down. “He’s either going to be an astronaut because he’s always like air traffic control from a bird to a plane, sun, moon, cloud, everything in the air. Or he’s Poseidon because he’s infatuated with water – ‘Agua, agua, agua’ – for hours."
