Overview
- Levi McConaughey, 17, appears opposite his father in the Apple TV+ film The Lost Bus, directed by Paul Greengrass.

- The actor emphasizes a family mantra against entitlement, saying he and Camila Alves tell their children, “Don’t you ever feel entitled.”
- On set, Matthew says he coached beforehand but offered no safety net, and he watched proudly as Levi worked directly with the director.
- The project is a multi‑generational collaboration that also features Matthew’s 93‑year‑old mother, Kay, while Levi is described as leaning into acting without parental pressure.
