Matthew McConaughey celebrates his birthday with the help of family and friends!
The actor — who turned 54 on Saturday — celebrated with a football game in his home state of Texas and received a touching birthday tribute from his son Levi McConaughey, 15, in a post shared on Instagram.
“People know Matthew McConaughey as an actor and now a writer, but I know him as my father,” Levi wrote in the caption alongside throwback photos of the pair together.
“A man who always makes time for us no matter what, a man who is always there for us no matter what and a man who taught me to appreciate the journey, not just the destination,” he continued. “The journeys are just beginning…Happy Birthday Papa.”
