The Magic Mike star shares Levi with wife Camila Alves McConaughey, as well as daughter Vida, 14, and son Livingston, 11.

While talking to PEOPLE in April 2024 as a feature on the cover of PEOPLE's 50th anniversary special issue, the dad of three said that becoming a parent has "made me a better actor."

"Having children I know has made me a better artist and has made me a better actor, because kids see things for the first time all the time. Their questions are innocent," he said. "I become a better storyteller because I have kids, meaning, I come home from work on something like True Detective, and my 4-year-old kid goes, 'What'd you do today?' I cannot tell them what the show's really about, it's not age-appropriate. So I have to go into a parable for them."

"And so I had to become a better storyteller to tell my kids about a good guy, a bad guy and a monster in this, to tell them the parable of the story I was in," McConaughey continued.

According to McConaughey, as his three kids grew up he realized that he never worked on an age-appropriate project for them to watch.

"As you become a parent, what do you end up watching? You end up watching mostly what your kids are watching, and so I was like, 'Man, I've never been a part of an animated film,' and I like doing voice work," he detailed.
