Asked how he juggles his career and family, the 43-year-old actor said: "I think making sure to carve out time for the family to be together on vacation is a good thing. We've done a lot of great vacations that I wouldn't mind going on again."
The hunky star's wife Luciana often makes fun of him for how much concern he has for their daughters.
He explained: "Well, now my wife's nickname for me is 'Red Alert.' I tend to be a little overprotective with the kids. Sometimes I check to see if they're breathing."
Matt has been happily married to Argentina-born Luciana for 10 years and thinks communication is the secret to their happy loving relationship.
He said: "I think our key is talk a lot. But I wouldn't dare speak for anyone else.

The reality TV star's daughter - with husband Kanye West - turned one on June 15, and the whole family got together this weekend for the inaugural 'Kidchella' event.
After they shared pictures on Instagram, it's clear the Kardashian family spared no expense for the little girl as they put on a festival based on trendy art-and-music extravaganza Coachella.
Activities included everything from face painting and hair-braiding to temporary tattoos and fairground rides.
Guests were able to hang out in tepees at Kourtney Kardashian's home in Calabasas, California, while a Ferris wheel was set up for everyone to enjoy.
There were also small stalls, picnic benches, stages and a bouncy castle at the party.
Kim recently opened up about her parenting, admitting she is "strict" with North but still manages to be "fun and playful" at the same time.
She previously said: "I am a strict mother. I'm really fun and playful, but I'm really strict on nap time, and sleeping in her own crib.
"Like Kourtney's style is where her kids sleep in bed with her, so especially with the third baby coming - they're going to need a bigger bed or they're going to need some other rules.
"And maybe on weekends, [North will] come and sleep in the bed with us. But ... I'm not crazy strict."

The 'Eez-eh' hitmakers bonded with the rocker when they supported his band Oasis during their run of hometown gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park in 2009.
They got on so well that guitarist Serge Pizzorno and singer Tom Meighan were taken to Scotland for lunch in the helicopter with Liam but decided to be mischievousness.
Serge said: "On the way back, Tom and Liam started play-fighting, rocking the thing, screaming. I'm sitting there going 'Maaaate!' This ain't like the back of a car, man, we're f***ing miles in the air. This rain starts coming down and the captain goes, 'Right, we've gotta land because the weather's terrible.' Liam's like, 'We're not landing, man, just drive through it!' - in the end we had to land. We had to emergency land in this airport."
The stars then went back to their hotel and Serge and Tom were still starstruck after spending time with Liam.
Serge gushed to NME magazine: "Liam's such an amazing dude. He's funny and proper looks after us. Those gigs were unbelievable."

He added to BANG Showbiz: "And then there's another, a football player, the guy from Miami Dolphins, Dan Marino.
"Dan Marino is a huge quarterback in America, I guess he retired like four years ago, and I used to call him Hasselhoff or Hollywood and I was on an airplane and everyone wanted me to come over and sign footballs. I signed footballs, 'David Hasselhoff Marino'.

Chris Martin is helping Alexa Chung launch a music career.
The Coldplay star is believed to have met up with the 30-year-old model in New York last month, where she played him songs she had been working on and the 37-year-old singer - who split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow earlier this year - was impressed enough to offer to use his contacts to get her started.
A source told Heat magazine: "He listened to a demo album of tracks, which he played to his Coldplay bandmates and his producer contacts, and has already set up meetings for her with his Coldplay record label, Parlophone, as well as his friend Jay Z's Roc Nation record label.
The model-turned-presenter first became interested in making a name for herself in the music industry while she was dating Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner - who she was with for four years until July 2011 - but worried that it would be "career suicide" if her attempt was unsuccessful.
The source explained: "She was on the verge of doing something when she was going out with Alex Turner, but instead she decided to move to New York and continue to write and work on her music. The last thing she wanted to do was launch herself into the music world and be a flop, which she knew would be career suicide."

The 'Glad You Came' hitmaker is now thinking of moving to America to pursue a career in acting, and although he's already been offered his first role he's keeping his cards close to his chest.

Jon Favreau says films were a form of "escapism" for him growing up.
The director-and-actor used to immerse himself in Hollywood movies as a child when his family life was crumbling around him, but his passion for the industry has stayed with him ever since.
He explained: "My parents split up when I was seven, and by the time I was eleven my mother had passed away from leukaemia. If you stack up those experiences, those were the things that I spent the rest of my life contending with, and movies became an escapism from that."
Jon, 47, has had a string of successful movies roles, including 'The Break-Up', and directorial gigs, such as 'Iron Man', but still feels hurt by the poor reception his 2011 sci-fi western 'Cowboys & Aliens' received.
He explained to The Times newspaper: "It was the first time that critics didn't love something that I did. And that hurt. I didn't want to yell at anybody. I just felt sad, really."
The star has gone all out for his new low-budget comedy, 'Chef', which sees him play a disillusioned cook, who regains his passion by manning a taco truck across America and seduces Scarlett Johansson's alter-ego along the way.
Jon undertook an intensive French culinary training course and worked in the high-pressure kitchens of US chef Roy Choi in order to get into character, but he admits he has never charmed his wife of 14 years, Joya Tillem, with his own cooking.

Ferne McCann thinks she's the "queen bee" of 'The Only Way is Essex'.
The reality star thinks now that fan favourites Sam Faiers and Lucy Mecklenburgh have left the ITV2 show, the cameras are rightfully going to focus more on her.
She enthused: "I'm always the queen bee. A few of the girls have left, which has shot me into the limelight. And I'm a f***ing good character! One thing I will say, which I said to Tom Pearce and Charlie Sims on the way here, is: I'm Ferne McCann. I'm one of a kind."
Ferne has reconciled with her boyfriend Charlie following several tumultuous bust-ups and the pair think they're now the ITV2 show's power couple.
The 23-year-old brunette said: "I suppose we're the ones who've had the most turbulence and cheating scandals."
Charlie added: "But we're stronger now."

Robert Pattinson claims he can't remember not being famous.
The British actor - who was propelled into the spotlight when he landed a leading role in the 'Twilight Saga' franchise when he was 22 - admits it took him a long time to adjust to being a Hollywood star, but the constraints of fame no longer bother him.
The 28-year-old actor said: "I had a bit of a struggle at first because my life really contracted and I couldn't do a lot of the stuff I used to be able to do. But once I got through that a year or two ago I just accepted my life is something else and now I can't really remember what it was like before, so it's much easier to deal with."
Robert enjoyed filming his upcoming movie, 'The Rover' in Australia, as it gave him a chance to relax away from prying eyes.
He said: "I just loved it because not only was there no one trying to find you, there's no one there at all. I wasn't worrying about anyone trying to sneak up on me or anything so I found it incredibly peaceful and relaxing."
The actor considers Los Angeles home now.
He said: "I spent two months in England last year which is the longest I've spent there in six years, which was nice, but I always go back to England at Christmas time and get so depressed that I'm glad to get back to Los Angeles. I've really grown to like L.A and I guess it's my home at the moment."
But the heartthrob - who split from Kristen Stewart last summer and is rumoured to be dating Imogen Kerr - insists he has never turned to a therapist to help him cope.
He jokingly told the UK's The Telegraph newspaper: "I would love to go into therapy but it makes me too anxious."
But he the added: "I've been talking to a lot of people about it and I don't know. I kind of like my anxiety in a funny sort of way and I like my peaks and troughs. Luckily depression never lasts long with me."

Kristen Bell says being a mother is "far more rewarding than exhausting."
The 'Veronica Mars' actress, who has 15-month-old daughter Lincoln with husband Dax Shepard, loves watching their little girl grow up and become more independent.
The 33-year-old star said: "She's delicious. It's such a fun age. I feel like having a toddler is exhausting and extremely rewarding -- and far more rewarding than exhausting."
The blonde beauty spends as much time as possible with her daughter and even takes her on hiking dates with her husband.
She told PEOPLE.com: "My go-to workout is usually hiking. I often will strap the baby to my chest for the hike."

The 'Frozen' actress married Dax, 39, in a low-key ceremony that cost $142 in Los Angeles last October and the couple hope to have more children as soon as possible.
Kristen previously said: "I would love to give her a sibling. I had two older sisters ad I think the relationship between siblings is so special. You're able to share that, 'We're all in this together,' feeling. Because growing up is, like, the worst. Your body hurts and you can't communicate with anyone, and you think you know stuff before you know it, and your parents are idiots, and they're embarrassing."
