Matthew McConaughey
Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey recently opened up to talk show host Jimmy Fallon, regarding him taking political office.
According to Fox News, McConaughey while appearing on The Tonight Show, told host Jimmy Fallon that he thinks taking political office is an honourable thing.
The statement from the ace actor comes 10 days after he confirmed on The Balanced Voice Podcast that he has thought of running for governor in Texas.
McConaughey told Fallon, "Well, it's come up a lot, lately. And I'm going to say to you the same thing that I've been saying, which is true. It's not a dodge. And when I say it's something, [it is something] I'm considering."
He added, "What an honourable thing to even be able to consider. But that's no further than that right now." Apart from speaking about his potential run for governor, McConaughey also shared that he and his family faced their own set of hardships during the February Texas snowstorms.
The 51-year-old actor said, "Look, we're doing good. We had a couple of pipes break. We've had to pull up some drywall in the house. Lost power. Just got off having to boil water four days ago. But the problem in Texas is there are many who aren't in as good a shape as we are right now. There are a lot of people that are out of home."
Fox News reported that McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves are hosting a benefit concert to help raise money for the Just Keep Livin Texas Relief Fund, which is welcoming several philanthropic celebrities.
