Matthew McConaughey recently took to Instagram to share a selfie that showcased his right eye completely swollen shut. The actor, known for his roles in films like "Interstellar" and "Dallas Buyers Club," seemed to attribute the injury to a bee sting, hinted by his playful caption: "bee swell."

The photo, posted on Wednesday, July 10, shows McConaughey, 54, smiling despite the apparent discomfort. The actor didn't provide specific details about the incident, but his good spirits were evident as he grinned for the camera.

This unfortunate encounter occurred just days after McConaughey and his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey, celebrated their eldest son Levi's 16th birthday. On Sunday, July 7, the couple shared a heartfelt montage of photos of Levi with his parents, accompanied by a voiceover message from McConaughey.

"Alright Levi, coming on that age, buddy. About to be out on your own," McConaughey said in the voiceover. "Me and your mom hope we've done as good of a job as we can. You're not gonna really have us as a safety net out there in the wonderful, wild world forever."

Despite the bee sting incident, McConaughey’s positive attitude and the family's recent celebration highlight their strong bond and resilience
