Matthew McConaughey has been through a lot of things throughout his careers: He was a beach bum, an immortal wizard, star a Beach Bum, a guy who leads Lincoln, a bourbon spokesman, A rom-com ICON, a guy from a Chevelle who raises high school girls, a god visiting from heaven to rejoice our human olympiads, and, of course, a Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas. Still, though, his disgusted cowboy heart wants it More. Something that can actually make a lasting impact on the beautiful big rock we call America, or at least more than a lasting impact than its prizes, its millions of dollars, its family, and its aircraft carrier full of classic Lincoln cars … something such as policy.
Yes, if you felt a cold of bones pass through the air, it was not climate change that generated another polar vortex. It was, in fact, the haunting echo of another star who decided that their specific set of skills (which include “looking presentable”, “reading” and “being famous”) would translate perfectly into a career. in politics. But hey, did it work for Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump, who says it can’t work for Matthew McConaughey? He is a Professor, and not at a fake college he invented as a tax shelter. The University of Texas is a real place! It’s not just on paper!
However, McConaughey briefly touched on the idea of running for governor of Texas in 2022 during an appearance in Texas. Balanced voice podcast (which is run by a non-profit anti-crime organization in Houston and not by a Republican think tank, despite the name) and although he did not say that a return to politics is a sure thing, he said that this The potential campaign was “a real consideration” – meaning it probably is really thinking about it, possibly while he was shirtless on a beach or shirtless in a Lincoln. Weekly entertainment notes which McConaughey recently told Stephen Colbert The late show that he had no plans to enter politics, referring to it as a “broken business,” but it seems at least softened with the idea.
As for why he might be drawn to a political career, McConaughey says he has a lot of “wisdom to share,” which is “obvious” to him, but seems to help “young people.” He says he is interested in exploring “leadership teaching positions” that will allow him to help other people, especially younger people, which is at least a nobler position to pursue a political career than “I want to I help my stupid friends and your rich children get rich ”(which is obviously not a specific reference for anyone in particular). We have another year or so before McConaughey’s political campaign begins, so we’ll have to wait and see how it goes.
