The Oscar-winning actor, 55, celebrated the premiere of the film The Lost Bus at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, September 5, alongside Levi, wife Camila McConaughey and mother Kay McConaughey. Matthew stars in the movie alongside his mother, 93, and his eldest son, 17.
That said, Levi didn’t land his first role as a perk of being the child of the beloved How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actor. In fact, Matthew asked for a different type of favor when he sent in the teen’s audition tape: Leave out his last name.

“'Well, how old is he?' I said, 'He's about your age,’” Matthew told the audience of the father-son conversation. “And then he goes, 'Think I could read for it?' And I didn't say anything. That wasn't enough to make me say 'maybe' or anything."
“I knew they hadn't cast the part. Pulled out the camera, worked with him on a scene, and sent that to [casting director] Francine Maisler, and I said — remember I had a note? — I said, 'I think it might be good enough for a callback.' And she wrote back, 'I think it might be good enough to show to [director] Paul [Greengrass].'"
Francine agreed, and once Paul saw Levi’s audition tape, he knew they had found the perfect actor.
