Matthew McConaughey’s son Levi already on the red carpet

It must be a cool existence to be Matthew McConaughey’s son. You have incredibly attractive parents. Lots of money. They’re pretty easy going. You get to chill with celebrities. And you know from birth that you’re probably going to be pretty damn hot when you grow up. Little Levi McConaughey has it made. And last night he made his first trip down the red carpet – in a car seat, but nonetheless. I bet it was a really nice car seat.

Matthew McConaughey’s month-old son Levi made his red carpet debut on Thursday. Along with his proud pop and mother Camila Alves, the tot attended a bash for Alves’ new handbag line, MUXO, at Kitson in L.A.

McConaughey, 38, walked straight through the red carpet, carrying the baby (who was nestled in a car seat covered with a plush yellow blanket) and took him inside. “[Levi] was gonna stay home, but then he said, ‘Dad, mom, I wanna go support mom’s purses!’” Matthew joked with Entertainment Tonight. “At 30 days old, he’s talking about stuff like that!”

In a two-part interview on CNN’s House Call with Dr. Sanjay Gupta (airing Aug. 9 and Aug. 16), McConaughey reveals that they took their son to a recent John Mellencamp concert. Dad says his son “is equipped to be around the sights and sounds of people.”

A John Mellencamp concert? Really? I wonder if they have a special baby pillow to commemorate “Baby’s first hearing loss.” I’m assuming they were in some kind of private box or something, otherwise I can’t think of many other things that could be more harmful to a new baby than a rock concert. And that whole thing about, “I wanna go support mom’s purses” – while utterly adorable – is going to get Levi a lot of hell on the playground. But he’s got a decent chance of growing up to look like his dad, so I’m sure he’ll forgive him the one embarrassing joke.
