Matthew McConaughey Thanks Social Distancing for Family Time

In news that might not seem so surprising, Matthew McConaughey has managed to find calm in the chaos of quarantine. 

"I think my mental health and family life are improving," the 50-year-old told reporters recently. "I spend more time in the kitchen with my family preparing meals, eating meals, cooking with my kids. That's been one big advantage, the forced family time. I've gotten to know my kids better."

The actor is hunkered down at home with wife Camila Alves, their three children Levi, 12, Vida, 10, and Livingston, 7, and 88-year-old mom Kay McConaughey. And while he admitted it's not always easy — "We all have our days and we have to allow our days," he said — it's also "been a good thing mentally."

McConaughey said he's giving everyone in his home "a little forgiveness" on their tougher days. "You're all around each other, you're tired, people have moods, the kids have cabin fever, I get cabin fever — people snap a little bit," he said. "This has gone on a while and will go one a while more, so I give everybody a little cushion."
