Matthew McConaughey enjoyed a father-daughter outing with 15-year-old Vida at a college basketball game.
McConaughey, 55, and Vida were spotted at the University of Texas women’s basketball game against the University of Tennessee on Thursday, January 24. (The Longhorns won 80-76.)
While the actor sported a white T-shirt with a pair of jeans, which he accessorized with a brown leather jacket and a belt that was centered with a star-shaped buckle, his teenager made Us do a double-take as she looked just like her mother, Camila Alves McConaughey. Vida, for her part, supported UT with a cropped team top that she paired with light-wash jeans. She wore her hair in loose waves and added a selection of delicate gold jewelry to finish off her ensemble.
Along with Vida, McConaughey and Alves McConaughey, 41, share sons Levi, 16, and Livingston, 12. The family of five live in his native Texas after relocating away from Los Angeles.
