Camila Alves made a rare remark about her husband Matthew McConaughey as she debunked the public's perception of him as a free-spirited stoner.

Despite portraying a chilled-out high-school grad in Dazed and Confused (1993) and burnout poet in The Beach Bum (2018), the 53-year-old's longtime spouse, who he wed in 2012, mused that he is nothing like most of his iconic characters.

'When we first started dating, it was this image of Matthew of getting high, laid-back, no shirt, whatever,' the Brazilian model, 41, said on Tuesday's episode of Southern Living's Biscuits & Jam podcast.

At the time, she recalls thinking: 'The guy doesn't even smoke. What is this vision coming from?'

The mother-of-three revealed he is 'actually the opposite' and 'just like' his mother, Mary Kathleen McCabe.

'She's very organized, very minimalistic, very on time, very prepared, and he gets a lot of those traits from her,' Alves continued.

Back in 2014, she playfully called him out for being different than his characters in some of his most famous romantic comedies, alongside stars like Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker.

'It's very funny because people see him onscreen or out there in public in a certain way, and they have this vision of him being this romantic and so passionate,' she said during Inside the Actors Studio at the time. 'Just very romantic and grabs you and kisses you. And sometimes I'm like, 'Who is this guy? Can you be a little bit of that?'

McConaughey was previously romantically linked to Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Renee Zellweger, Patricia Arquette and Penelope Cruz.

Before meeting his wife, the Texan was viewed as a bongo-playing, bong-toking free spirit, who loved to play those drums in the nude while stoned on weed.

In 1999, a knock on his door was the police responding to the neighbor's noise complaint. They found him stoned and naked with a bong nearby.

He resisted arrest and was hauled off to jail for resisting as well as on a marijuana possession.

The charges were dropped eventually but he had to pay a fifty dollar fine for disturbing the peace, a mere drop in the bucket for the actor who was then earning $4 million a film.

In his memoir, Greenlights, McConaughey recalled undressing, opening his windows and smoking 'a bowl' while listening to 'the beautiful African melodic beats of Henri Dikongué play through my home speakers.'

'What I didn’t know was that while I was banging away in my bliss, two Austin policemen also thought it was time to barge into my house unannounced, wrestle me to the ground with nightsticks, handcuff me and pin me to the floor,' he wrote.

Two days later, he said: 'BONGO NAKED T-shirts were all over Austin.'

In 2019, McConaughey also revealed that his rapper co-star Snoop Dogg switched out his prop oregano joint for real weed when they filmed The Beach Bum while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

'It was one of those highs when I really didn’t catch my breath until 5:30 p.m. the next day and I came back to work,' he recalled.
