“I’m investigating now, what is my leadership role?” he asked aloud as he spoke to host Rania Mankarious, “Because I think I have some things to teach and share.”

“What is my role, what is my category in my next chapter in life that I am going to enter now?”

When Mankarious asked McConaughey if he was considering running for governor of Texas, the actor replied, “It’s a real consideration.”

Current Texas Governor Greg Abbott is running for re-election in 2022 – so presumably McConaughey would run for office next year if he decides to do so.

And he can only! While appearing in The Hugh Hewitt Show last year, he also signaled that he may one day want to run for office: “I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t depend on me. It would depend more on the people than on me … Politics seems to be a broken business for me now, and when the policy redefines its purpose, I could be much more interested ”.

I think we just have to wait and see where this is going. Who knows!
