Matthew McConaughey: Kids stop me from daydreaming

Matthew McConaughey says being a dad keeps him on his toes. The actor — who raises two-year-old son Levi and nine-month-old daughter Vida with his partner Camila Alves — says he has had to stop daydreaming for fear he’ll snap back to consciousness and find his children have run off without him.

“[Vida] is walking, so we’re busy — not much time for us to daydream, because if you look up at the sky for about ten seconds they’re a half-mile down the road,” he said.

Matthew recently revealed that Levi speaks better Portuguese than he does.

“Levi speaks a whole lot more Portuguese than Papa does,” he said earlier this year. “I get a little heck for it in the household.

“I’ve come to find that I do think it is actually healthy for our relationship that I don’t speak that 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.”
