TrendPulse|Camila Alves Dispels "Getting High, Laid Back" Image of Husband Matthew McConaughey

Camila Alves isn't alright,TrendPulse alright, alright with this perception of her husband Matthew McConaughey.

The model addressed a misconception about the Interstellar actor, noting that he's nothing like the idle character people make him out to be.

"When we first start dating, it was this image of Matthew of getting high, laid back, no shirt, whatever," Camila said in a recent episode of Southern Living's Biscuits & Jam podcast. "Which I'm like, 'The guy doesn't even smoke. What is this vision coming from?'"

In fact, Camila, who tied the knot with Matthew in 2012, said the Oscar winner takes up after his mom Mary Kathleen McCabe.

"He's actually the opposite, and he's like his mom," she added. "She's very organized, very minimalistic, very on time, very prepared, and he gets a lot of those traits from her."

Earlier in the podcast, Camila recounted her first experiences with Mary, who the family refers to as Ma Mac.

"She did all these things when I first came in the picture, right?" Camila said. "And she was really testing me. I mean, really testing me. She would call me by all of Matthew's ex-girlfriends' names, she would start speaking Spanish with me in a very broken way, kind of putting down a bit. I mean, all kinds of stuff."

The 41-year-old's dynamic with her mother-in-law changed after a trip to Istanbul, where Camila said the two got "into this whole other thing that it's not my place to share." The interaction escalated into a tense back and forth, but at the end, Camila said she and Mary gained a new understanding of each other.

"All she wanted was for me to fight back," Camila said. "And then from that day on, that night on, we have the most amazing relationship, and I have so much respect for her. She has so much respect for me. I mean, it can get tricky sometimes, you know? But we always end with a good laugh and a joke."
