Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list dad makes red carpet debut for Dior – can you guess his famous parents?
A NEPO-BABY with a Hollywood A-lister dad looked a chip off the old block as he made a stylish appearance at the Dior runway show in Paris. The 16-year-old was completely unfazed by the cameras, posing for snaps in a blue Dior pullover and white cargo shorts. 3 3 3 He showed off the looks that come with having a movie star hunk dad and supermodel mum - looking right at home in the spotlight. The budding star on the red carpet was Levi McConaughey, the son of Oscar winner Matthew, 55, and Camila Alves, 42. Matthew and Camila - who tied the knot in 2012 after getting together in 2006 - are also parents to Vida, 15, and 12-year-old Livingston. Levi is following in his famous dad's footsteps by pursuing an acting career and has landed a role alongside Chris Pratt in upcoming movie Way of the Warrior Kid. Matthew - who has starred in films including Dallas Buyers Club and The Gentlemen - recently shared the advice he gave his son as he attempts to break Hollywood. He told People: 'Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself – I did it plenty of times, and it's a lot easier to go big and come back down to reality than it is to come in under and push it to more energy later. 'It's a lot easier to go big, make a fool of yourself, get embarrassed, and then bring it down to reality than it is to start with low energy and go, hey, we need more.' Matthew also told the publication how having kids has helped him in his own career, saying becoming a dad made him a better actor. He said: '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. '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.'

All the Hollywood Action Is Happening Everywhere But Hollywood
LOS ANGELES—If budget were all that mattered, 'Way of the Warrior Kid,' in which a former Navy SEAL helps his nephew deal with bullies, would likely have been filmed in Atlanta, Canada, Australia or Britain. But when producer Ben Everard showed the script to Chris Pratt, the star of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Parks and Recreation,' Everard said he agreed to do it on one condition: 'You gotta shoot it in L.A. because my wife's pregnant.' Everard counts that as a victory for his adopted hometown—and a warning. Increasingly, raw economics favor shooting projects somewhere else. For Los Angeles to get the nod often takes something idiosyncratic, like a star with an expectant wife. The 41-year-old Everard has made five of his seven films here, and in three, it was because of the star's family.
