Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves have revealed they’re letting their son Levi join social media for his fifteenth birthday.
“Comfortable Birthday Levi Alves McConaughey,” his father said in a joint Instagram post on Friday with Alves, 41.
“Can you suspect it?” she said, turning to her husband. “Fifteen,” he replied, adding “Hey mate, your mom is a bit of nervous today. Considered one of the gifts we’re supplying you with, yes, we’re allowing you to join the world of social media today.”
The ‘The Gentlemen’ star, 53, revealed the couple had been talking about once they would give him their blessing to get the bill since he was 12.
“All his friends have had it for a protracted time,” noted Alves. “We held on.”
McConaughey added, “He knows who he’s and he knows where he’s going. I believe he can handle it. She has an excellent story to inform and share.”
“I would like you all to know,” he said, addressing the camera, “Levi McConaughey is a really cool and respectful young man and I hope you’ll all do your best to treat him in the identical way.”
The Dallas Buyers Club actor concluded, “Levi, benefit from the adventure, enjoy telling your story, expressing yourself and what you post there, and the exchanges you get with people.”

“Comfortable birthday, go see him,” they each said as Alves applauded.
Levi shared his first Instagram post throughout the same hour and responded to his parents’ post within the comments by writing: “Mom and Papai thanks!!”
“I’m glad to be here,” the 15-year-old captioned his inaugural post, a video montage of him browsing, skiing, cliff diving, volunteering, spending time with his family and having other adventures that played over an audio clip of his video dad character from “Dizzy and Confused”.

“I’ll let you know one thing,” says McConaughey as David Wooderson within the clip, “the older you get, the more rules they’ll attempt to get you to follow. You only gotta carry on living, man. ALIVE”.
His dad commented, “Levi is alive #happybirthday.”
Commentators praised McConaughey and Alves for making Levi wait until he was 15 to join social media.
“Good for you. More parents must have this rule,” one person wrote, while one other called them “parent goals.”
A 3rd commented: “Adore it! It made me so emotional. I really like your commitment as parents. You may tell he feels protected, joyful and loved!” and a fourth added, “Go Levi!! You might have very smart parents! I am unable to wait to see you tell your story!”
The couple even have two younger children: Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10.
