Camila Alves-McConaughey recently shared that her husband, Matthew McConaughey, is the opposite of his laid-back, “getting high” persona in a new interview. The couple first started dating in 2006 while he was working on films like “We Are Marshall” and “Failure to Launch” after the success of “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”<\/p>\n

Camila recalled during an episode of Southern Living’s “Biscuits & Jam” podcast<\/a>, “A lot of people have this, well, I don’t think people actually had this image of Matthew anymore because, just the kind of work and things he’s been doing, but when we first start dating, it was this image of Matthew of getting high, laid back, no shirt, whatever. Which I’m like, ‘The guy doesn’t even smoke. What is this vision coming from?'”<\/p>\n

She explained, “He’s actually the opposite, and he’s like his mom. She’s very organized, very minimalistic, very on time, very prepared, and he gets a lot of those traits from her.” Camila said when she first met McConaughey, his mother would call her by the actor’s ex-girlfriends’ names, “really testing” her. The Brazilian model once took “Ma Mac” on a job trip to Istanbul, claiming the two got into an argument.<\/p>\n

Camila recalled, “So I just flipped it on her and brought my spicy Brazilian side, Latin side, and I let her have it. So I went back at her, and we had it back and forth, back and forth. And then at the end, she just looked at me, and she was like, ‘Okay. Now you’re in.’ She continued, “All she wanted was for me to fight back. And then from that day on, that night on, we have the most amazing relationship, and I have so much respect for her,” Camila revealed. “She has so much respect for me. I mean, it can get tricky sometimes, you know? But we always end with a good laugh and a joke.”<\/p>\n
