McConaughey: 'Fatherhood hasn't tamed me'

Matthew McConaughey has claimed that becoming a father to two young children has not tamed his adventurous spirit.

The actor and partner Camila Alves are parents to two-year-old son Levi and 1-year-old daughter Vida.

During an appearance on Access Hollywood Live earlier this week, the Lincoln Lawyer actor asserted that Alves has never attempted to tame him.

"I haven't pulled back on my sense of adventure… a lot of people say, 'You have children, you have a family, boy, the life you had comes to a screeching halt,' and you start over," McConaughey said. "That has not been true for me, and a lot of that is testament to Camila and myself and my family and how we go about our life."

The star added that his youngest child Vida already emulates her dad's love of nature, saying: "Vida really likes to eat dirt... [She's] a little more rough and tumble and she's the young lady."

McConaughey recently suggested that stress doesn't control his moods.

The Lincoln Lawyer, which co-stars Ryan Phillippe and Marisa Tomei, opens today in US and UK cinemas.
