The `Mud` star - whose wife Camila Alves welcomed their son, Livingston into the world three weeks ago, joining their two other children, son Levi, four, and daughter Vida, three, - has scaled back on his other interests and reigned in his ambitions so he can concentrate on being a good father.

The 43-year-old actor told EOnline.com at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah: "When you`ve got family, you have to pick your extracurriculars. Whoever has kid knows that, man. You have to pick and choose and go wait, which is the one I really want to do because I ain`t watching all the Saturday`s football and I`m not watching all of Sunday`s.

"I`m not going to be a kayaker, a snow skier and a marathon runner. No, you gotta zero in when you got kids and a family."

The `Magic Mike` star said he has no desire to ever move behind the camera as he is satisfied with simply being an actor.

He said: "I`m really enjoying being an actor for hire. I`ve been offered to produce some things and I`ve said, `No thank you.`... I`m really enjoying my time getting ready for a role, my man, my characters, going to work, doing my best to nail it, finishing work and going, `That was a beautiful time. Thank you. See you down the road. I`m going back to my family.`"

Matthew recently revealed having a third child has made life chaotic for him and his model wife, 30.
He previously admitted: "It`s getting to be more of circus that`s for sure!
"Another plate at the table. Actually he`s not eating at a plate, he`s on mama because he`s only 10 days old."
