Speaking on Amanda de Cadenet's The Conversation: About the Men podcast, he said of his parents' lessons on sexual intimacy and respect: 'Well, I had been taught, been guided by my parents about respect for a woman, respect for the relationship, respect for sexual intimacy, respect for space.

Recalling being taught about sexual consent, he continued: 'And so he goes, and he's talking to me, he says, "Son, as a male in the situation," speaking to me about a heterosexual relationship, "If you ever feel the girl, the female, hesitate, stop".

The actor was still able to have some 'healthy sexual relations' with girls that weren't 'ugly' after the blackmailing.

He went on: 'But I was very clear, again, that was not right, that was not cool, that was not the way it is.

'After that, I got to have some healthy sexual relations and have girls that I liked and liked me, and we slowly got intimate and it was beautiful and clumsy, and all those things, but it wasn't ugly like that was.'.

Matthew said: 'I had been taught, been guided by my parents about respect for a woman, respect for the relationship, respect for sexual intimacy, respect for space' (pictured with his wife Camila Alves in 2019) .

He said: 'I'm not gonna be afraid of relationships because my first experience was blackmail.

I'm going, 'I'm not gonna let that beat my sense of trust in people and say, 'No, I can have a healthy relationship.' Non-negotiable.

'I still get, even telling you this story, I get -- but am I gonna carry that.

He said believed having that clarity was why those situations didn't stick with him, confuse him, or leave him with 'a non-realistic view of the way the world was supposed to work'

Opening up: His book was the first time that Matthew (pictured in 2020) had spoken in public about either incident but his has shown his support for sexual assault charities in the past
