It looked like Matthew McConaughey wanted some company on Thursday, when his wife Camila and young children joined him for a jog in the Malibu sunshine.

The actor, who is trying to regain his muscly physique after dropping weight for a film role, led the way as Levi, five, and Vida, three, ran behind, accompanied by their mother.

After painting the perfect family picture, it appeared as if though the 44-year-old sprinted off on his own for a more intense work-out.

The A-lister lost a staggering amount of weight to play the real-life AIDS-afflicted character of Ron Woodroof in The Dallas Buyers Club last year.

But he is doing his utmost to reclaim the muscular physique and was spotted out for a jog at the star of the week.

The star opened up to HitFix.com about the struggle he endured to shrink his frame - admitting it has been '90 per cent diet', and exercise less so.

Matthew also said that he was looking forward to eating normally again after wrapping on the film, which is set to be released next month.

That woman should work out WAY more than what she does. Is that a blouse she is wearing under the short-sleeved one, or does she really have the tattoos?
