Guess the nepo child! Dad’s an Academy Award winner

This Hollywood nepo baby is the child of an Academy Award winner and a Brazilian model.

The 16-year-old, who made his own Instagram profile last year, took to the platform on Monday with a new snap of himself on a clay tennis court.

He looked like the spitting image of his father — who has also won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his work — walking around barefoot in a pair of shorts and holding a racket in his hand. 

The curly-haired youngster — whose parents have been married since 2012 — also has two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. 

His father’s break-through role was the 1993 film Dazed and Confused, which launched his successful Hollywood career. 

Can you guess who this nepo baby is?

That’s right, he is Levi McConaughey, the son of Matthew McConaughey, 54, and Camila Alves, 41.

His parents also share daughter Vida, 14 and son Livingston, 11.

In July, Levi also shared a snap of himself in a hoodie, looking very much like his famous dad.

Last month Matthew enjoyed some father-son bonding with Levi in Los Angeles.

The actor and his son were seen grabbing a lunch break on the set of Way of the Warrior Kid.

And in April the whole family hit the red carpet at a fundraising gala for McConaughey’s nonprofit organization, Mack, Jack & McConaughey.

Levi made his Instagram debut as a gift from his parents on his 15th birthday in July of 2023, but mother Camila did admit she feels ‘nervous’ about the social media account.

Before the big reveal, Matthew and Camila took to the same social media to talk about their present while also being open about their concerns.

Matthew said: ‘Happy birthday Levi Alves McConaughey. Can you believe it? Fifteen years young.’

‘Hey, buddy, your mom is a little nervous today. One of the gifts we’re giving you, yes, we are allowing you today to join the social media universe.’

The married couple admitted that they had been discussing for quite a while when they would allow their eldest child to get an account since he was 12-years-old.

Camila said: ‘All his friends have had it for a long time. We’ve been holding up.’

Matthew added: ‘He knows who he is, and he knows where he’s going. I think he can handle it. He’s got a great story to tell and share.’

The Oscar winner then had a personal message for anyone interested in following his teenage son.

The actor sweetly said: ‘I want y’all to know, you’re getting a very cool and respectful young man in Levi McConaughey, and I hope y’all can do your best to treat him the same way.

‘Levi, enjoy the adventure, enjoying telling your story, expressing yourself and what you put out there and the exchange you get with people out there.’

The couple finished off the video with applause as they both said in unison: ‘Happy birthday, go check him out.’

Levi did not waste any time as an hour later he responded to his parents’ social media post with the comment: ‘Mamma and Papai thank you!’

He also went on his feed to share a video montage of him enjoying his many interests which include surfing, cliff diving, skiing, doing volunteer work, and spending time with his friends and family. He captioned it ‘happy to be here.’

There was even a familial touch as the video was played over audio from his iconic Dazed & Confused character from 1993.

David Wooderson could be heard saying: ‘Let me tell you this. the older you do get, the more rules they’re going to try to get you to follow. You just got to keep livin’, man. L-I-V-I-N.’

His proud dad commented the post: ‘levi is l i v i n #happybirthday.’

McConaughey and Alves initially met in 2006 when they were introduced at a bar in Los Angeles.

The happy couple began a relationship shortly afterward, and they started a family with the birth of their son Levi in 2008.

The two expanded their family with the 2010 birth of their daughter Vida, before they became engaged on Christmas in 2011.

The pair went on to tie the knot in Austin in 2012, and they added another son named Livingston, to their lives that same year.

In 2022, Camila opened up about raising their family in Austin, Texas a decade after moving there in 2012.

She told Fox News: ‘It’s been great. It really embodies our belief system, especially the ones I grew up with, like going to church every Sunday, saying “yes ma’am” or “no, sir.” I grew up saying those things coming from a family of farmers.’

Camila moved from her native Brazil to New York City when she was 19 but can’t help but compare her new home in Austin to where she grew up.

She said: ‘For me, being from Brazil and then coming to Texas, I discovered a lot of similarities in terms of what families practice here, especially going to church on Sundays, and being very into the outdoors. It’s been a great transition.’

As a model, she has appeared on the covers of Ocean Drive, the Brazilian edition of Men’s Vogue, ES Magazine, Maxim, Town & Country, among others. 

Meanwhile Matthew is known for his performances in A Time to Kill, Contact, Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club, and True Detective.

McConaughey won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2014 for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club. He played the role of Ron Woodroof, a Texas electrician diagnosed with AIDS, who begins smuggling experimental drugs into the United States.
