McConaughey: 'Girlfriend is perfect for me'

Matthew McConaughey has said that he believes longtime girlfriend Camila Alves is the woman he is meant to spend his life with.

In an interview with Esquire, the actor, who began dating the Brazilian model and TV presenter in 2006, confessed that the relationship forced him to re-evaluate the way he was living and made him want to settle down.

"I found the woman I wanna do it with - the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together," he said.

"She needs to have 50 percent of that. I mean, it's a lot easier for me to be at 100 percent. I'd always been 100 percent. It's braver for me at 50 percent."

The couple have two children, two-year-old Levi and Vida, 1.

McConaughey recently claimed that he is misunderstood by the public.
