Actor Matthew McConaughey made a decision on whether he is going to run for governor of Texas.
In a video posted to Twitter Sunday, McConaughey said he would not be choosing that path. He explained, “I’ve been listening, I’ve been learning, I’ve been measuring.”
He later reflected on his experience of growing up in a little town in Texas, adding, “It never occurred to me that I would one day be considered for political leadership. It’s a humbling and inspiring path to ponder. It is also a path that I am choosing not to take at this moment.”
Instead, the actor said he is going to continue to support “entrepreneurs, businesses, and foundations” he believes are “leaders.”
McConaughey also said he will be supporting establishments he believes are “creating pathways for people to succeed in life.”
Concluding his message, McConaughey suggested politicians are unable to do anything for Americans “unless we choose to do for ourselves.”

In September, McConaughey told the “Set it Straight: Myths and Legends” podcast he was “measuring” a run for governor, adding, “Look, it’s going to be in some capacity. … I just — I’m more of a folksy and philosopher poet statesman than I am a, per se, definitive politician.”
