Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey shared in the November issue of  GQ that although he had always wanted to be a father, he was very hesitant to tie the knot - that is, until his wife, model Camile Alves gave him an ultimatum.

The now happily-married man admitted that he didn't want to feel obligated to marry Alves and, that for him, he was more focused on the fun adventure they were having rather than the ultimate endpoint of marriage.

The star shared that he had gotten to the point that he was willing to get married when Alves had brought up that that was what she wanted.

"It took her going, 'C'mon, Big Boy, Mr. Easygoing-We'll-Get-to-It-When-We-Get-to-It. Either s--t or get off the pot.'" McConaughey confessed.

Although, he didn't really think too much about marriage before Alves brought it up, they got married in 2012 and, the actor shared that he doesn't regret his decision one bit.

While he was hesitant about taking the plunge, McConaughey was excited about fatherhood and, had always been ready for it.

According to the father of three, "Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. You know what's important."

McConaughey admitted that his kids have turned him into a more compassionate human being.

The 44-year old star also has a lot of compassion on romantic comedies and the stars who star in them. The said genre took up much of McConaughey's career, with the actor having starred in memorable flicks such as "Failure to Launch" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days".

The actor shared that people often dismiss rom-coms as "lightweight", but he shared that the hard part is trying to make these kinds of movies look easy.

The November issue of GQ will be available on October 28.
