Matthew McConaughey 'needs one house'

Matthew McConaughey has revealed that he is content with having just one house.

The Lincoln Lawyer actor, who has son Levi, 3, and 15-month-old daughter Vida with girlfriend Camila Alves, insisted that owning one property makes his life simpler.

He told the Herald Sun: "I love customising small spaces. We have a home in Malibu now, so I've customised that. I'm good with having one - and only one - of each thing I need. It's relaxing to not have the options."

The 41-year-old also explained that his children have given him a new perspective.

He added: "There's more to live for, and more to look forward to. Every single day is a brand new thing to my kids.

"Even if you've travelled a road a thousand times, kids remind you to look at things with fresh eyes."

McConaughey said that he is eager for his children to learn about their Brazilian heritage as their mother is from the South American country.

He commented: "We took everyone to Brazil for five weeks at the beginning of the year - all of my family and my lady's family, their kids, our kids.

"That's where Camila and her mother are from, so we want to make sure that the kids are exposed to that culture. They now speak better Portuguese than me."

McConaughey recently claimed that he is misunderstood by the public.
