McConaughey not interested in marriage

Matthew McConaughey has revealed he doesn't plan to marry his girlfriend, Brazilian model Camila Alves.

McConaughey is expecting his first child with Alves but believes he doesn't need to be a husband to make a good father.

Speaking to The Independent, the 38-year-old said: "My parents were divorced twice and married three times to each other.

"I believe in the institution of marriage, but I don't feel you have to marry. A kid just needs a mum and a dad."

The Sahara star, who lives in a trailer on the beach, revealed he wants his child to live there too.

"Probably my living in a trailer sounds like I'm just a wanderlust vagabond, but part of it is because I know where my stuff is and how I like it, and there's not enough square footage to have too many places to get lost.

"My child will spend some nights in the trailer. He's going to have culture and travel, but that's one of the great benefits of my business.

McConaughey admitted he is "looking forward to the big baby adventure" and feels he has the right "instincts" to make a good father.

McConaughey's next film, Fool's Gold, is released in the UK on April 18.
