For Matthew McConaughey, being stuck at home wasn t all that bad.
The 51-year-old actor has been quarantining since the coronavirus pandemic s early days with his wife, Camila Alves, their three children Levi, 12, Vida, 10, and Livingston, 8, and his mother, Mary Kathlene McCabe.
McConaughey is set to appear in Facebook Watch s Peace Out 2020 special on Tuesday, Dec. 29, and opened up about his extra time at home. What a year we have just lived through, one like no other, he said in a brief clip from the program. One of my themes, theories and approaches with getting through hard times is when faced with the inevitable, get relative.
I know in our family we got my 88-year-old mother who moved in with us and has been with us for seven months now. Her being around her grandkids, her three grandkids, every single day for the last seven months is going to be something that she will never forget, he says. Something that they ll never forget. Something that has really enriched their relationship and something that we would not have done unless we had been quarantined.
As for looking forward to 2021, McConaughey hopes that people will remember to keep things light. In the meantimes and all of time, let s remember to keep our sense of humor during this time, he shares. It goes a long way. It does not deny the problem, but it sure does untie the knot in the contradiction. It can help two people get along and figure it out. And that s what I m looking forward to in 2021. Let s figure some stuff out together.
