Actor Matthew McConaughey has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Oscar-winning actor was joined by his wife Camila Alves and their children, Levi, six; Vida, four; and Livingston, two; for the ceremony on Monday (November 17), as well as some of his Interstellar co-stars.

McConaughey looked dapper in a grey three-piece suit as he posed alongside Interstellar co-stars Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Mackenzie Foy, as well as the film's director, Christopher Nolan.

He said at the unveiling of his star: "It is a special day to me; this is a great moment in my career and my life. I only saw two or three films in my life before I was 18-years-old."

McConaughey continued: "I got my first job in Austin, Texas on a film called Dazed and Confused and little did I know it would turn out to be a career and something I would learn to love, and am learning to love even more.

"This business and industry, I feel it's a privilege every single day that I get up on a Monday morning and look forward to going to work."

He added: "This industry has given me a lot, a chance to live out some dreams I didn't even know I had, dreams I'm still finding along the way. What other business can you go and live them out but this storytelling business?

"Let's keep telling great stories, let's keep entertaining, let's keep putting something out there that matters, is original and is just plain fun."
