Here he gets the death message on the fly
– I was very lucky, says the actress, and continues:
– I grew up in the upper middle class with a roof over my head, food on the table, parents who loved and supported me, a car that was paid for, a job and top marks.
The 50-year-old also says that the role of parent involves balancing yes and no.
– Loving their children sometimes means giving them what they want. Other times it means no. Wealthy people can give their children everything they want, but they usually do not get what they need. Loving a child is much harder if you don’t care. A no requires much more energy. It’s much easier to just say yes.
Furthermore, the actor reveals that he may be the “kind” parent.
– From the grin my wife gives me, it seems I’m the one who says yes most. She’s probably right, he says.
Met at nightclub
The McConaughey pair have been together since 2006. The star actor should have noticed Alves on the town on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles at that time. On the other hand, it wasn’t love at first sight for Alves.

McConaughey, named the world’s sexiest man, managed to persuade Alves to go home.
That night he must have sneaked into the guest room twice where Alves slept, but she rejected him.
However, the Brazilian model quickly became hot in the sweater the following day.
– Camila was having breakfast with my friends and maid when I got up the next day. It seemed like they had known each other for 10 years, he said.
Together in the end
– I threw my son four feet through the air
It would take three attempts before the movie star managed to persuade Alves to go out on a date, where he even washed the food. A while later, they finally became together.
To People in 2016, he told what made him attractive to his wife.
– The self-respect she had, the way I understood her and her relationship with family, the way she respected me, but never took anything for granted, he told me.
