Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey could be the latest Hollywood celebrity to consider taking a leap in politics in future. The star of Dallas Buyers Club and Magic Mike has recently appeared to a talk show and expressed his interest in joining politics.
To promote his best-selling book Greenlights, the Texas native appeared on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” hosted by Hugh Hewitt and discussed politics. During the interview, he said that he consider trying his hand at a career in politics by running for Governor of Texas.
When he was asked if he would run for governor in his home state Texas, or another position, Matthew McConaughey said, “I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be up to me. It would be up to the people more than it would me. I would say this: Look, politics seems to be a broken business to me right now. And when politics redefine its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.”
