In an interview on Thursday, US Senator Ted Cruz said Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey would make a "formidable" candidate in the race to become Texas governor in 2022.

Actor Matthew McConaughey would make a "formidable" candidate for the post of Texas governor, said United States Senator Ted Cruz while speaking on a radio talk show on Thursday. According to a Forbes report, Ted Cruz said Matthew McConaughey, an American actor and producer, should avoid running for Texas governor as "he might pose a formidable challenge to unseat incumbent Greg Abbott in 2022". "I think, he would undoubtedly be formidable," Ted Cruz was quoted as saying on The Hugh Hewitt Show on Thursday.
