Matthew McConaughey and his longtime girlfriend Camila Alves revealed the first pictures of their son Levi Alves, born on July 7.
The 38-year-old actor told OK! magazine he learned something new from the experience: “This is where I learned—and no one tells you this—but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild.”
But McConaughey wasn’t too surprised to find out it was a boy. “I said, ‘Come here, little man.’ I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],” Matthew told the magazine.
The Brazilian model, 25, had her man right by her side, and not in the cliche way.
The Dazed and Confused actor admitted, “Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.”
Levi was born at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 4 oz., and he told the magazine he kept a detailed diary of his and Alves’ hospital experience.
“I have it all chronicled,” he explained. “Becoming a dad is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let’s go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. We’d been up for 40-something hours, and we went from dead tired to a really steadfast, ‘Let’s handle this… let’s stay in the rhythm. Don’t let the contraction be more than you.’”
Matthew added, “I’ve pulled out some baby pictures of myself, and the resemblance is amazing. This kid has a lot to learn from us. I want him to come out being a little wiser, a little cooler and a little happier than we are.”
