Matthew McConaughey for Governor? That’s what some people might be asking themselves in the coming weeks, months, and maybe even years as the Oscar Winning actor recently said that he wouldn’t mind running for the highest office in his home state of Texas in a new interview with The Hugh Hewitt Show. Here’s what you need to know.
“I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be up to me,” the actor said when he was asked whether or not he would enter the political arena in the future. “It would be up to the people more than it would me.”

He explained further: “I would say this. Look, politics seems to be a broken business to me right now. And when politics redefines its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.”
The handsome actor also noted that he is hoping that the politicians in charge can get “behind personal values to rebind our social contracts with each other as Americans, as people again.” McConaughey also added that both Republicans and Democrats have lost trust in one another, which has led “to us not [having] trust in ourselves,” which, he said, could eventually lead to “anarchy.”
“So I’m all for the individual, and I think … to make collective change that the individual needs to look in the mirror and say how can I be a little bit better today? How can I, how can this selfish decision I want to make for myself correlate and also be the decision that’s best for the most amount of people?” he continued.
“There is a place where that decision lives all the time. It’s hard to get to, but there is a place to make the decision that’s best for ourself, but also be considerate of what that decision is for the most amount of people.”
