Matthew McConaughey says his 'clock was ticking' when he met his 'amazing' wife Camila Alves
He's one of Hollywood's most popular leading men.
But Matthew McConaughey only has eyes for one woman - his wife Camila Alves.
He met the Brazilian beauty in 2006 when she was 24 and he was 37 and, he tells Cigar Aficonado, his 'clock was ticking.'
Couple goals: He's one of Hollywood's most popular leading men. But Matthew McConaughey only has eyes for one woman - his wife Camila Alves, as he explains in a new interview
The A-list actor, now 48, explained: 'I was about to be 40 and my plan was to be married and have kids by that age. But I didn’t want to play the game of starting to feel anxious because, with too much anxiety, you can’t find a mate.'
He tells the July/August issue of the magazine he was cautious when it came to romance because he didn't want to get it wrong.
'I knew men who had made hasty decisions and women who had done the same thing. But at that point, I wasn’t hunting,' he said.
'And then this amazing woman walked across my field of vision and I thought, ‘Who is that?’ And it was Camila.'

The couple became engaged in 2011 and married in 2012.
They have three children together - sons Levi, nine, and Livingstone, five, and daughter Vida, eight.
His latest interview isn't the first time he's gushed about his wife and how happy she's made him.
In December 2016, he told Playboy: 'When I saw the woman who is now my wife, I was at a club making margaritas at my table with friends.'
'When she walked in wearing this aqua dress, I went, ‘Whoa, what is that?’ … You can’t dial up that kind of woman.'
The Dallas Buyer's Club Oscar winner went on to say he's never strayed from his marital vows.
'I have been very faithful with my wife, very selfishly,' he said 'I like being under her spell. I don't want to break that spell.'
