Matthew McConaughey is "doing a lot of cooking" for his pregnant wife Camila Alves.

The model is currently expecting the couple's third child together. Camila and Matthew already share son Levi, four, and daughter Vida, two.

Matthew has been in the kitchen showing off his culinary skills for his expectant love.

"[I'm] doing a lot of cooking!" he gushed to Us Weekly.

"There's a Brazilian dish that her mother does, so we're having it more often than we're used to. That involves a lot of chicken, a lot of cheese and things like that, which I'm not having, but she is. She loves a good steak, so I've been making a good rib-eye for her when I can."

Unfortunately Matthew can't partake in these meals. The muscular star has to shed 30lbs for his upcoming role in The Dallas Buyer's Club.

"I'm playing a guy who was sick and would have loved to have been healthier but wasn't. For me, it's more of a mental thing than a physical thing," he explained.

"I'll get down to the weight I need to get to. I'm on my way, and it's what I need to do for the job."
