Matthew McConaughey says it’s “nobody’s business” why he and Camila Alves haven’t married.

The ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ actor has two children with the Brazilian model – Levi, two, and 14-month-old Vida – and while the couple are very happy together they have decided not to marry, for reasons Matthew wants to remain a secret.

He said: “Would I like the perception of me to be a true mirror of who I am? Sure. Absolutely. Are there still things that I’ve got that are mine? That are nobody’s business? Speculate all you want. Why didn’t Camila and I get married? Nobody’s business.” However, while they are not man and wife, Matthew, 41, wanted 29-year-old Camila to feel secure in their relationship as soon as they realised it was serious so he made sure they bought a new home together.

He told Esquire magazine: “Before this, I had a super home in the Hollywood Hills that I did by myself – landscaping, detailing pretty much everything. But that house was mine. And yeah, we coulda gone in there right away. Camila would have said, ‘Fine, don’t change a thing.’ But I thought, I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together.

“She needs to have 50 per cent of that. I mean, it’s a lot easier for me to be at 100 percent. I’d always been 100 per cent. It’s braver for me at 50 per cent.”

Matthew McConaughey, the American actor who plays attorney ‘Mick Haller’ in the highly-anticipated new drama-thriller, has spoken of the “good butterflies” that he experienced on the movie’s set, reports OnTheRedCarpet.com. In the new film, which hits cinemas today, McConaughey’s character conducts his business from the back of his Lincoln town car, whilst working on high-profile cases. Speaking about his time shooting the movie, the 41-year-old said, “It was a little scary at times, but in a good way. I had good butterflies every day. It was a very challenging movie, challenging role, but a lot of fun. I had a lot of good, fun stuff to do in this film”. McConaughey has played numerous attorneys in the past, most notably in ‘A Time To Kill’, but the actor says he had to prepare considerably for his latest role, saying, “I spent some time downtown in the federal courts. Spent some time with the federal judge. I took my two-week road trip to get my thoughts together and then I met a couple of guys who do what this guy, Mick Haller does, defense attorneys, some down around the LA area”.

Matthew McConaughey is already garnering rave reviews for his portrayal of the maverick attorney. USA Today says, “Mick, as embodied by Matthew McConaughey, is a near-perfect match of material and actor”. The film also stars William H Macy, Marisa Tomei and Ryan Phillippe.
