Matthew McConaughey won't rule out running for office after deciding against Texas governor campaign

Matthew McConaughey has still not ruled out a political career in his future.

The host, 57, asked him flat-out if his decision not to challenge Republican Gov. Greg Abbott for the seat meant that he had turned his back on the idea of ever running for public office. Fortunately for those who hoped to see the actor bring his relaxed vibe to the world of politics, he said he hasn’t ruled it out completely. 

"I’m not going to say no forever. No, I’m not going to say no forever, absolutely not," he said. "But this last year and a half, just considering that sacred position of running for governor of the state of Texas, [it was a] very consciences and earnest year and a process I’m so happy I went through."
