Last month, the actor's oldest son made headlines when a rare photo of him shared showed the striking resemblance he shares with the Oscar winner. In the image which was shared by Camila, the doting mother was seen with her son as he stared into a pan with a large chocolate chip cookie.

Fans had to double-check to confirm that it wasn't a younger McConaughey and took to the comments section to share their opinions. Many described him as a "mini Matthew McConaughey," while others said the teenager was his father's exact carbon copy.
