The Hollywood actor's Brazilian model girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles. He weighed 7 lb 4 oz, according to America's Us Weekly and is called Levi.

McConaughey revealed that he intends to follow a ritual, common in some cultures, of planting the placenta of a new born. The idea is that the tree is a constant reminder of the child's life on this planet - growing year by year right along with the newborn.
