Will Matthew McConaughey Run For Office? He Says He's On a Learning Tour

Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey, who has made past headlines for toying with the idea of running for public office, whether it be for Texas’ governor or a presidential bid, again wouldn’t give a definitive answer Friday — but he left the door open.

Yes, I’ve thought about running (for public office),” the actor said in response to the question posed by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, at the National Governors Association Summer Meeting in Salt Lake City.

“I’m on a learning tour and have been, probably, for the last six years.”

McConaughey said he’s been mulling the move as he asks himself if he has “what it takes. Do I have the instincts and the intellect that it would be a good fit for me, and I would be a good fit for it?”

“I’m still on that learning tour,” he added, while joking he also “learned a lot” Thursday night from Murphy; the governor prefaced his question to McConaughey by telling the actor he was told he “enjoyed your tequila last night” during a reception with the actor, “but I don’t recall any of it,” to laughs from the crowd.

McConaughey’s on-stage discussion with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was a headliner event at the NGA’s summer meeting in Salt Lake City, most of which was focused on capping off Cox’s “Disagree Better” campaign before Cox passed the association’s chairmanship to Polis. It’s not his first step into the debate. In 2021, the actor said the government needs to be “aggressively centric” to overcome divisive politics, The Hill reported. Amid yearslong speculation that McConaughey would run for Texas governor, his political affiliation has remained a mystery.

His advice for American politicians to be part of the solution? Focus on your job, and don’t fight with each other for attention’s sake.

“I’m in the entertainment business. Our leaders don’t need to be in the entertainment business,” he said, adding U.S. political leaders need to be “adults in the room,” and not act like they’re on “an episode of ‘Real Housewives.’”

McConaughey’s attendance perhaps paled to just one other attendee: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
