A TEEN star has the best mentor possible for his first movie role – in the form of his Oscar-winning actor father.
The 16-year-old was spotted picking up tips from his dad, 54, as the cameras rolled in San Diego this week.
Levi Alves McConaughey is currently filming for drama Way Of The Warrior Kid and was seen shooting scenes at Mission Beach.
Yet he had his Interstellar star dad Matthew McConaughey on-hand for support.
Matthew shares Levi with wife Camila Alves, who he married in 2012, along with children Livingston and Vida.
The How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days star was seen keeping tabs on Levi before offering some sage advice before a take.
Levi is shooting scenes for the movie adaptation of the 2017 Jocko Willink children’s book of the same name.
It tells the tell of 11-year-old Marc, played by Jude Hill, who finds his inner warrior strength during the summer holidays with the help of his Navy SEAL Uncle Jake.
Clips from the latest scenes saw Levi in a pale T-Shirt and dark trousers.
He stood on the sands surrounded by a camera crew.
Texas-born Matthew was seen chatting to other staff on-set after his pep-talk with Levi.
Matthew and Camila’s first and oldest son was born on July 7, 2008.
Levi means “united,” “joined,” or “joined in harmony,” and is an anagram for “live,” beginning a theme for the McConaughey kids.
While Levi’s parents preferred to keep him out of the public eye when he was growing up, they surprised their firstborn on his 15th birthday by giving him a gift fit for any teen – and allowing him to join social media.
It now appears he will be following in his dad’s A-List footsteps with his first acting gig.
Meanwhile, it appears his papa is back to full health after showcasing a swollen eye courtesy of a bee sting.
Additionally, Levi’s parents are one of the strongest Hollywood couples.
“We went out on our first date three nights later and I knew then that the next night I wanted to go on another date,” Matthew previously told People magazine when speaking on their partnership.
“And I’ve been wanting to go on a date with her for the last [18] years. And not with anybody else,” he added.
Last year, the duo stunned fans as they stripped butt naked and rode motorbikes to promote a tequila brand.
