Matthew McConaughey on Wednesday said he was considering a run for Texas governor.
The “Dallas Buyers Club” star acknowledged the possibility of running for office while being interviewed on “The Balanced Voice” podcast.
McConaughey, 51, was speaking of his current roles as a parent and a University of Texas professor when he wondered aloud what his next move in life would be.
“And I’m looking into now, what is my leadership role?” asks McConaughey. “Because I do think I have some things to teach and share.
“What is my role, what is my category in my next chapter of life that I’m going into now?” he continues.
Host Rania Mankarious jumped at the opportunity to question if a gubernatorial run would qualify as his next step.
“It’s a true consideration,” the Oscar winner said.
Last November, McConaughey didn’t rule out a run for political office when asked about that possibility in a radio interview.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, is up for re-election in 2022.
