Matthew McConaughey is praised as a 'southern gentleman' for his sweet gesture to the Prince and Princess of Wales at Wimbledon final
The American actor, 55, was among the celebrities who watched on as Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to the Wimbledon title in the star-studded royal box on Sunday.
And Matthew has now been praised as a 'lovely southern gentleman' after his touching tribute to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
In footage shared of Kate and William's arrival into the box, Matthew could be seen in the background.
Matthew was then seen standing up for the royals as they made their way to their seats, in a sign of respect.
The gesture went down well with Wimbledon fans, with one sharing the clip and writing: 'Matthew McConaughey standing to applaud the Prince & Princess of Wales. What a lovely southern gentleman.'
Matthew was joined by his wife Camila Alves, as he was spotted happily greeting fellow spectators in the Royal Box, including Andre Agassi.
The How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days actor looked ageless as he wore a white suit for the big day.
He was seated next to Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott for the games and was pictured greeting those around him on his arrival.
Matthew and his wife were also seen at the Womens Singles Final at Centre Court on Saturday.
The Dallas Buyers Club star and the Brazilian model, 42, kept a low profile for the rare outing together as they watched the , behind a set of sunglasses.
For the outing Matthew swore a bright two-piece suit which he layered over a crisp white shirt and a green tie.
Camila looked elegant for the event as she wore a pair of white flared trousers which she paired with an elegant jacket.
In keeping with her ethereal look, she slipped her two-piece over a white top and a pair of heels.
To accessorise, Camila wore a fashionable brown hat and myriad of elegant gold necklaces.
Matthew and Camila, who married in 2012, share three kids Levi, 16, Vida, 15, and Livingston, 12.
Last month Matthew and Emma Roberts ignored an A-list star seated between them at the Jacquemus fashion show.
During Paris Men's Fashion Week on Sunday, they were deep in conversation while actress Gillian Anderson was sandwiched between them.
Matthew was spotted leaning over Gillian to talk to Emma, who made a shocked expression as they seemingly talked about something funny.
The encounter was seen in a TikTok clip posted by Jacquemus.
Meanwhile, Gillian had a stoic expression with a slight grin on her face as she sat awkwardly between them.
At one point, the Scream Queens star dramatically dropped her jaw in response to something Matthew told her.
Emma channelled her inner ballerina as she modelled a tutu-inspired skirt at the runway show.

England facing daunting chase as more dropped catches aid India's cause
Jaiswal made a classy 118 as the tourists reached 304 for six on the third afternoon, a lead of 281 at tea. After 15 wickets fell on day two, a patched up England attack were unable to pose a consistent threat. With Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse all missing the Test and Chris Woakes unable to play his part due to a dislocated shoulder, the task seemed too steep for a seam trio of Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton boasting just 18 previous caps. Three more drops hurt their cause – Zak Crawley, Harry Brook and Ben Duckett taking the innings tally to six missed chances – but Jaiswal was the cornerstone of India's defiance. He was gamely assisted by nightwatcher Akash Deep in the first session, with the latter crashing his way to a career-best 66 to set the tone for a difficult day in the field. Deep, sent in on Friday evening to shield captain Shubman Gill, scored the majority share in a demoralising stand of 107 with the unflappable Jaiswal. The tourists were just 52 ahead and two down overnight but England were insipid in the opening session. Deep fully embraced what was a bonus innings for his side, slogging the third ball of the morning for four, heaving Atkinson across the line and angling Josh Tongue wide of the slips with soft hands. He should have come unstuck for 21 in the eighth over, narrowly surviving Tongue's lbw shout on umpire's call and then edging the next delivery to third slip. Just as it did on day two, England's catching was faulty with Crawley fumbling. That was as close as they came to parting the duo as they lost control in a dispiriting hour of play that saw India add 52 runs to the total. England produced a few false shots after drinks but to no avail, with at least three edges skimming into the same gap wide of third slip. Deep advanced to an unlikely fifty with three fours off the tiring Atkinson – showing off unexpected range with a square cut, an uppercut and a pull. Overton finally ended his fun with the lunch break moving into view, digging in a short ball that took the leading edge and popped to backward point. It was a handy delivery but, after 28 wicketless overs on a helpful pitch, the Surrey quick owed his side one. Gill survived an awkward spell before the break but fell to the first ball after lunch, lbw to Atkinson for 11 to conclude a prolific series with 754 runs at an average of 75.40. Karun Nair has fared considerably less well and his latest unconvincing stay ended with wafting Atkinson through to Jamie Smith for 17. At the other end Jaiswal was quietly getting on with job of a potentially match-defining hundred. He was put down on 20 and 40 earlier in his innings but there was a sense of calm as he progressed towards the first ton of a bowler-dominated match. He was given a third life on 110, Duckett fluffing a tricky one at leg slip, but finally ran out of luck when he flashed Tongue to Overton at deep third. England needed more quick successes to build on his departure but their overworked pace bowlers were creaking as Ravindra Jadeja (26no) and Dhruv Jurel (25no) extended the advantage.

Marlie Packer hands England World Cup worry during 97-7 rout of Spain
Marlie Packer's availability for the start of the World Cup is in doubt after she was sent off in England's crushing 97-7 demolition of Spain. The veteran flanker, who was captaining her country in Leicester, was dismissed 19 minutes from time for an adjudged illegal clearout on Spain full-back Claudia Pena. With the Red Roses set to play France next weekend in their final warm-up match ahead of their World Cup opener against the United States on August 22, Packer will face a disciplinary hearing to determine her fate. Helena Rowland scored a hat-trick at Welford Road as England's preparations for a tilt at global glory on home soil began in ruthless fashion. The versatile back, who was hailed as 'probably the most valuable person' in the Red Roses' squad by head coach John Mitchell after being named to start on the right wing, claimed two of seven first-half tries. Number eight Maddie Feaunati, scrum-half Lucy Packer, wing Jess Breach, prop Sarah Bern and centre Jade Shekells also crossed in the opening 40 minutes. Bern registered her second try early in the second period before Rowland completed her treble two minutes later and lock Lilli Ives Campion added another for Test rugby's top-ranked nation. Spain, who are ranked 13th in the world and will face Ireland in Pool C at the World Cup, claimed a fine 53rd-minute consolation through 19-year-old Harlequins player Pena, which was converted by fly-half Amalia Argudo. Full-back Emma Sing stretched England's lead before replacements May Campbell, Hannah Botterman and Abby Dow and vice-captain Megan Jones completed the scoring following the premature departure of skipper Packer.
