Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves have let the rest of the world see their baby boy, Levi Alves, on the cover of the new issue of OK! magazine and the photo spread within the pages.

Matthew, on the cover is quoted as saying, “I want my son to be a little cooler than me.”

McConaughey tells OK! magazine that the experience was a lot bloodier and pukey than he imagined but a wild and beautiful thing.

“We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn’t work, and the doctor said, ‘C-section.’

The Texas-born actor says he cut the umbilical cord in “one snip” and got to hold his son for the first 15 minutes while doctors worked on Camila. Both he and the Brazilian beauty — who waited to know the sex of their baby — say they were not surprised to find out they had a boy.

The couple waited to find out the sex of their child and in typical McConaughey fashion Matthew explains the first moment he knew he was a boy.

“I said, ‘Come here, little man. I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],’ Matthew said.

The issue is on news stands now and still 50 cents cheaper than People.  Be sure to pick up a copy to see the extensive photo spread within.
