<p>&#8220;I’m not going to say no forever. No, I’m not going to say no forever, absolutely not,&#8221; McConaughey said.</p>
<p>&#8220;But this last year and a half, just considering that sacred position of running for governor of the state of Texas, very conscientious and earnest year.&#8221;</p>
<p>McConaughey later added when pressed if he would run for office in the future, &#8220;I’m never going to say never. Politics is a sacred spot that I have great honor for.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actor was also in New York City for the premiere of &#8220;Sing 2.&#8221; McConaughey served as the voice actor for the character Buster Moon in the sequel to the acclaimed &#8220;Sing&#8221; animated film.</p>

<p>The interview also reported that the actor&#8217;s 11-year-old daughter Vida made a cameo in the new film.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vida got a couple of lines in <em>Sing 2</em>. She plays a piglet who is scuba diving in chocolate, saying, &#8216;This is the best day of my life,'&#8221; McConaughey shared with excitement.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-actor-matthew-mcconaughey-announces-decision-on-running-for-governor-of-texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Actor Matthew McConaughey announced on Sunday that he will not run to be the next governor of Texas, a decision that came despite a push from left-wing media for the actor to challenge Republican Governor Greg Abbott.</em></p>
<p><em>McConaughey, 52, had previously <a href="https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1330147561496260610">called</a> for law-abiding citizens to “take one for the team” and give up some of their Second Amendment rights, and he had praised far-left Democrat Beto O’Rourke, <a href="https://people.com/politics/matthew-mcconaughey-beto-orourke-comments-not-shade/">calling</a> him a “good man.” McConaughey also <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/matthew-mcconaughey-thinks-about-texas-abortion-law-1636904">said</a> that he had a problem with a recent Texas law that protects unborn babies.</em></p>
<p><em>“Listen, over the past two years, I’ve been working on the answer to the question of how I can be most useful in this life going forward — useful to myself, useful to my family, and to the most amount of people,” he said in a video posted to his Instagram account. “One category of service I’ve been exploring is politics. I’ve been considering a run for the governor of Texas.”</em></p>
<p>“As a simple kid born in the little town, Uvalde, Texas, it never occurred to me that I would one day be considered for political leadership. It’s a humbling and inspiring path to ponder,” he added. “It is also a path that I’m choosing not to take at this moment.”</p>
<p>“What am I going to do? I’m going to continue to work and invest the bounty I have by supporting entrepreneurs, businesses, and foundations that I believe are leaders, establishments that I believe are creating pathways for people to succeed in life, organizations that have a mission to serve and build trust, while also generating prosperity,” he concluded. “That’s the American dream. And politicians, the good ones can help us get to where we need to go, yeah. But let’s be clear, they can’t do anything for us unless we choose to do for ourselves.”</p></blockquote>
