Matthew McConaughey’s son, Levi, seems to have taken a few tumbles while surfing, and his father couldn’t resist sharing the results on social media. In a recent Instagram post, McConaughey, 53, showcased the “souvenirs” Levi, 14, had gathered during his surfing adventures. The image showed the teen sporting several large white bandages on his back, with a hint of a slight pink plaster in the center. Despite the visible bruises and bandages, McConaughey appeared unfazed, labeling the photo with a lighthearted caption: “Surf souvenirs.”
Social Media Reacts to Levi’s Surfing “Souvenirs”
While some fans expressed concern over Levi’s condition, the general tone in the comments was relaxed. McConaughey’s followers quickly began sharing their thoughts, with some finding humor in the situation. One user joked, “We call ‘em nature’s tattoo, brotha,” and another shared a nostalgic reflection: “Some of my best memories of my youth are the stories that wind up with me getting bumps, scrapes, and bruises, lol. This is rad.” A fourth follower pointed out the gendered responses to the photo, commenting: “All the fathers, ‘That a boy,’ all the women, ‘poor baby!’” It seems McConaughey’s easygoing approach to parenting has certainly resonated with his followers.
Levi McConaughey: The Family’s Eldest Child
Levi is the eldest of three children McConaughey shares with his wife, Camila Alves. In addition to Levi, they have two other children: Vida, 13, and Livingston, 10. The family is often seen sharing moments together, with McConaughey frequently giving glimpses into his life as a father.

Camila Alves Faces Turbulence Scare
Meanwhile, McConaughey’s wife, Camila Alves, had a frightening experience of her own. On Thursday, Alves, 41, was on a plane that experienced severe turbulence, causing the aircraft to abruptly drop 4,000 feet. Alves shared the terrifying experience on Instagram, describing the chaos: “Flying last night, the plane dropped about 4000 feet, seven people went to the hospital, stuff was flying everywhere.” She further detailed the ordeal by describing how the turbulence persisted for 45 minutes, with the situation becoming even more dangerous after the plane was struck by lightning.
The Danger of the Turbulence Incident
Reports indicate that the lightning strike was the main cause of the turbulence, with passengers who were not wearing seatbelts suffering the worst injuries. One passenger’s husband took to Twitter to explain, “Those who didn’t have the seat belts buckled got harmed largely because it came as a surprise without the seat belt sign on, and lightning hit the plane heavily.” Alves’ unsettling experience serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of air travel.
