The actor took to Instagram on July 7 with a message for Levi in a voiceover. McConaughey, who shares Levi with his wife Camila Alves McConaughey, went on to give him some golden fatherly advice on his birthday.

"Alright Levi, coming on that age, buddy. About to be out on your own," Matthew began. "Me and your mom hope we've done as good of a job as we can. You're not gonna really have us as a safety net out there in the wonderful, wild world forever."

McConaughey continued, "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. See the good in everybody else, but know that not everyone else is always paying attention."

He concluded his heartfelt message with, "Take your time. Enjoy the journey." The actor captioned the post with a similar, straightforward phrase: "Enjoy your journey."
