Matthew, 44, was seen on holiday in Brazil with his family on Monday, without any shoes on his feet.

The actor recently revealed that he was determined to get Dallas Buyers Club made, and his determination clearly paid off.
Matthew refused to take no for an answer when financiers refused to fund Jean-Marc Vallee's new drama about AIDS activist Ron Woodroof because he believed in the strength of the story and the cast, which also includes Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner.
He told Deadline: 'It was something that I had on my desk that I was trying to do for a while, but it wasn't popular enough for anyone to come up with the money. So we were like, 'Let's find the right team.'
'Usually the message that gets to me is, it's not for them. Period piece, AIDS drama? That one line hurt. I'm sure there were many desks where that one-liner was all they read. But there was a lot of talent that had been attracted to this thing for a while.'
