Matthew McConaughey paid Tom Hanks £63 for ‘babysitting’ his son

Actor Matthew McConaughey has revealed he handed over £63 to Tom Hanks on Oscars night as a way of thanking the movie star for keeping his young son entertained all day.

McConaughey told the Oscar winner he is forever in debt to him because his Toy Story movies are beloved in his home - and his son Levi is a huge fan of cartoon cowboy Woody in the franchise.

"His main thing is Toy Story. Toy Story 1, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 - 'Papa, I want to watch Woody, where's Woody?' And that's his thing. I mean daily. We have to kind of govern him on it a little bit because it's all the time,” the Daily Express quoted McConaughey as saying.

"And so I run into Tom Hanks (on) Oscar evening and I slip him a 100 (dollar bill). And he says 'What's that for?' And I says, 'Trust me, I owe you a lot more than that for the amount of time you've been babysitting my son Levi," he added.
