Matthew McConaughey gave fans a rare look at his son Livingston as he celebrated the boy’s 12th birthday in true Texas style.
The Oscar winner, 55, took to Instagram on Saturday and posted two heartwarming snaps of their father-son bond at a University of Texas football game, McConaughey’s alma mater.
One snapshot showed the duo cheering on the Texas Longhorns from the end zone with their arms wrapped around each other.
Another showed a calmer moment on the sidelines, with Matthew leaning in, seemingly offering heartfelt advice to his birthday boy.
“By the dozen, my son and teammate,” McConaughey proudly captioned the post. Here’s to many more victories in life. Love, Dad.’
Livingston is one of three children McConaughey shares with his wife Camila Alves, along with Levi, 16, and Vida, 14.

Matthew also added in an Instagram Stories post: “Happy birthday Livingston.”
The birthday celebration comes after McConaughey said he believes fatherhood has made him a better actor.
“I know that having children has made me a better artist and a better actor. “Kids see things for the first time all the time,” he explained to People.
‘Your questions are innocent. I’ve become a better storyteller because I have children.’
The actor voiced the koala Buster Moon in Sing and its sequel to give his children a chance to enjoy his work for once.
It was an especially meaningful moment for him when they realized his role in the films.
He said, ‘Yeah, it was fun… And as they got older, they couldn’t see anything I did.
‘When you become a parent, you end up seeing mostly what your children see. And then I thought, ‘Man, I’ve never been a part of an animated film and I like doing voice work,’ so I went and did that.’
