It was love at first sight for the Oscar-winning actor
Matthew McConaughey, known for his ability to take on some of the most demanding acting roles, is evidently in healthy terms with wife Camila Alves. In a recent interview with People magazine, the actor shared some details about their relationship.
“I was very happily single and healthily single. I was not looking. I was sleeping well, I was spiritually sound, I was good hanging with me. Out of the corner of my eye, this sort of aqua-green figure went floating across the frame about 20 feet in front of me. My eye went up and I remember what came out of my mouth. I didn’t say ‘Who is that?’ I went, ‘What is that?’ As l was trying to get that’s attention across the room, I went in my head, ‘This is not the kind of woman you call over across the room, McConaughey. Get your ass out of your chair and go get her.’ Which I did.”
He continued, “We went on our first date three nights later and I knew then … I’ve been wanting to go on a date with her for the last nine years and not with anybody else.”
Now 46, McConaughey also talked about their three children, Levi, Vida and Livingston.
“Levi is the architect. Levi observes, Vida sees, Livingston does. Levi is the most considerate person I know but he loves to measure the anatomy of the situation. Very much a perfectionist like me. Vida just makes sense of situations. She cuts right to the nut of the answer real quick … Then Livingston is the doer. He’s the monarch.”
The two had recently decided to refrain from having more children as Alves focuses on her baby food business, Yummy Spoonfuls.
