On Wednesday, Sept. 4, Deadline confirmed that the Interstellar actor’s 16-year-old son Levi is set to make his acting debut in the coming-of-age film Way of the Warrior Kid, playing a supporting role alongside star Chris Pratt, 45.
Additional details of the teen’s character in the Apple and Skydance film based on the book by Jocko Willink have not been shared. The upcoming film is directed by McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol) and written by Will Staples.
On Friday, Aug 30, the Dallas Buyers Club actor, 54, was spotted visiting Levi on the film’s set, as his little one embarked on his acting journey. For his first-ever acting role, Levi can be seen wearing a red flannel, navy T-shirt, and blue jeans.
In the photos, the father-son duo stand off camera and chat with one another. On the sidelines, McConaughey wears a blue button-down top, brown trucker hat, brown sunglasses, and a headset around his neck.

The Magic Mike star shares Levi with wife Camila Alves McConaughey, as well as daughter Vida, 14, and son Livingston, 11.
While talking to PEOPLE in April 2024 as a feature on the cover of PEOPLE’s 50th anniversary special issue, the dad of three said that becoming a parent has “made me a better actor.”
“Having children I know has made me a better artist and has made me a better actor, because kids see things for the first time all the time. Their questions are innocent,” he said. “I become a better storyteller because I have kids, meaning, I come home from work on something like True Detective, and my 4-year-old kid goes, ‘What’d you do today?’ I cannot tell them what the show’s really about, it’s not age-appropriate. So I have to go into a parable for them.”

“And so I had to become a better storyteller to tell my kids about a good guy, a bad guy and a monster in this, to tell them the parable of the story I was in,” McConaughey continued.
According to McConaughey, as his three kids grew up he realized that he never worked on an age-appropriate project for them to watch.
“As you become a parent, what do you end up watching? You end up watching mostly what your kids are watching, and so I was like, ‘Man, I’ve never been a part of an animated film,’ and I like doing voice work,” he detailed.
