Why Matthew McConaughey made son Levi wait until 15 for social media

Matthew McConaughey’s son Levi wanted social media when he was 12. His father, actor Matthew McConaughey, still wasn’t ready to let him join. The family eventually agreed when Levi turned 15. During an appearance on the Today Show in 2023, the actor explained why he waited, what he tells his children about sharing their lives online and why he wants his 10-year-old daughter to spend more time reading and writing songs than scrolling. His comments offer a look at how one parent is approaching the question of when children should begin using social media.Why Levi had to wait until 15McConaughey said Levi had wanted social media for several years before his parents agreed. “Oh, he wanted it early on, probably when he was 12, definitely 13, definitely 14, and we waited until he was 15,” he said.
