Matthew McConaughey looks after nervous son Levi, 16, on set as teenager makes his acting debut

Matthew McConaughey was seen comforting his 16-year-old son Levi on the set of his debut film Way of the Warrior Kid in California.

Video obtained by TMZ on Wednesday shows the “Dallas Buyers Club” star giving his seemingly worried son an encouraging pat on the shoulder, followed by a brief conversation on Mission Beach in San Diego.

According to a TMZ source, Levi was in the middle of filming a pull-up scene when his famous father spoke to him.

The 54-year-old actor is not involved in the production but appeared to be there as a mentor to his eldest son.

Page Six contacted McConaughey's rep for comment.

Levi's casting for Way of the Warrior Kid was announced in early September.

He landed a supporting role alongside aspiring actress Ava Torres. However, their specific roles in the history of youth development remain unclear.

Leading the cast are Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini and Jude Hill.

McConaughey previously told Entertainment Tonight that he would support his children if they pursued careers in entertainment.

“Look, I want them to do what they were created to do,” he said in 2020.

“Whatever they can do, they have an innate ability and are willing to work to do it better. Whatever that is, I want them to do that.”

“If this becomes a thing in the industry I’m in? Bravo. I have met some of the most wonderful people in my life in my industry, I love what I do.”

In addition to Levi, the Oscar winner also has daughter Vida (14) and son Livingston (11) with his wife Camila Alves.

McConaughey and Alves made headlines last year when they allowed Levi to create an Instagram account for his 15th birthday.

The “Interstellar” actor also warmed fans' hearts when he posted a touching Instagram message for his son in July to mark his 16th birthday.

“Me and your mother hope we have done our jobs as well as possible. “You won’t have us as a safety net out there in the wonderful, wild world forever,” the actor said.

“Just go out, enjoy. Be aware of your surroundings. “Be yourself. Know when to say yes, know when to say no, know when to say maybe,” he continued.

“See the good in everyone else, but know that not everyone else is always paying attention.”
