Matthew McConaughey may soon be on his way to a career in politics.
In a recent appearance on the podcast “The Balanced Voice,” host Rania Mankarious said Texans would be “very happy” to have McConaughey as governor of the Lone Star State.
The 51-year-old actor then replied shortly: “This is a real consideration.”
In November, McConaughey also discussed the candidacy in his home state, Texas, and hints at a future career in politics if the demand is there.

As for the policy he wants both Democrats and Republicans to rally, McConaughey said he is interested in “getting behind personal values to re-imprint our social contracts with each other as Americans.”
The star said both sides of the aisle had lost ‘trust’ in each other, leading to ‘us not [having] confidence in ourselves, ‘which he says could eventually lead to’ anarchy ‘.
