**Hollywood, CA** – Actor Matthew McConaughey recently revealed a surprising secret to his 12-year marriage with Camila Alves: downsizing their bed. In his new book, “Poems & Prayers,” McConaughey argues that a smaller mattress can significantly improve marital intimacy.
Speaking to Fox News, McConaughey explained that after years of sharing a king-sized bed with their three children – Levi, 17, Vida, 15, and Livingston, 12 – he and Alves found themselves feeling distant. “I wake up one morning, I’m looking over there and Camilla’s like a football field away man,” he said.
He realized the expansive space of the king-sized bed was hindering their connection. “You’re like, ‘Man, this damn king-size bed is not good for the marriage,'” McConaughey said, adding, “Get rid of that son of a b–ch. So we got a queen size where we’re shoulder to shoulder. I’m telling you, it’s good for your marriage.”
Beyond his marital advice, McConaughey is also making family a bigger part of his career. He recently starred in the film “The Lost Bus” alongside his eldest son, Levi, and his 93-year-old mother, Kay McConaughey. He was initially unsure of Levi’s acting aspirations, but after seeing his audition tape, McConaughey was impressed: “Wow, he can hold the frame, he’s got the instinct for it.”
The McConaughey family continues to enjoy a close bond, frequently appearing together at events and sharing glimpses into their lives on social media.
