Matthew McConaughey enjoyed a father-daughter night out with Vida on Thursday when they watched the University of Texas women’s basketball team take on Tennessee.

The 55-year-old star sat courtside with Vida, 15, to take in the exciting game and at a glance, the teen could be her mother, Camila Alves' twin. 

With her long, dark hair, full eyebrows and gorgeous olive complexion, Vida is looking more like the model every day.

She stood tall alongside her dad and wore a cropped Longhorns T-shirt and casual, low-slung jeans.

Matthew opted for a brown leather jacket and white T-shirt and was a doting dad. He chatted away to Vida who was equally as enthralled in the game as he was.

The team's official X account shared photos of the pair and wrote: "good to have you at @MoodyCenterATX."

Vida recently turned 15 and on her special day, Matthew wrote a sweet message to her on social media. 

"Vida. 15 years. Thanks for being my tech guru, so savvy, and for loving to grow things. Love Papai," he penned alongside a throwback photo of her doing the gardening.

He previously spoke about her interests and told People that Vida's creative and "really likes to paint and draw and loves graphic novels."

Matthew, Camila and their three kids including sons, Levi, 16, and Livingston, 12, love their life in Texas. 

They moved from Los Angeles several years ago and are raising their brood happily away from the limelight.

The Magic Mike actor revealed one of the leading reasons for making the 1,300 mile move during an interview on Nick Kyrgios' podcast, Good Trouble.

He said he wanted to take his acting career in a different direction and explained: "I went down there, and I made a pact with my wife and said, 'I'm not going back to work unless I get offered roles I want to do'."

"When I was rolling off the rom coms. And I was the rom-com dude, man. That was my lane, and I liked that lane. That lane paid well, and it was working. But the lane was... I was so strong in that lane that anything outside of that lane, dramas and stuff that I wanted to do, were like, no, no, no, no, no McConaughey. Hollywood said no, no, no, no, you should stay there, stay there."

He firmly said: "I didn't want to. So, since I couldn't do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing."

It helps that Matthew admits Texas has "always been home," and told Today of raising his family in his home state: "I wanted them to have what I great up having around" said the star, who was born in Uvalde, Texas.

And Camila agreed: "We lived in Malibu for many years and having the paparazzi outside our door every day - every single day - when that becomes your normal, you don’t realize how much that’s actually affecting the things you do until you actually leave and get out of it."

She added: "The kids get to have a private way of growing up. So, from that perspective, it was very important."
