Matthew McConaughey Says We Need to ‘Embrace’ President Trump

Matthew McConaughey’s True Detective character, Rust, describes himself as “a realist” — and McConaughey is calling for the same approach to President Donald Trump.

During an interview on BBC One, Andrew Marr asked about whether it’s time for Hollywood or cultural elite to give Trump “a break.” McConaughey, the star of Gold, departed from the oppositional views many other actors or celebrities have taken to Trump.

“Well, they don’t have a choice now,” McConaughey told Marr. “He’s our president. And it’s very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time as we’ve had. At the same time, it’s time for us to embrace and shake hands with this fact and be constructive with him over the next four years.”

Had never seen any of his work previous to True Detective. Woody Harrilson was also Good.

Matthew McConaughey is a down-home southerner .He’s from Longview.Texas I knew his dad very well. Jim McConaughey was as good a man as anybody would ever meet. A true man of his word. His mom was really nice and very very pretty. They are just good Texas people and so is Matt McConaughey.

Go right ahead; I stole it in the first place! ;)

And since I read all of Michael Connelly’s novels, I’m glad he was picked to play Mickey Haller in,’The Lincoln Lawyer.’

I got this quote in e-mail, so whatever it's worth:

"There's great like-minded people out there who are Americans first and Republicans or Democrats second"

"I hope the president-elect does such a great job that I vote for his re-election in 4 years."-Tom Hanks 11/15/2016

Lol.
The Lincoln Lawyer was also good. I’m playing catchup with his work. “Interstellar” I liked alot. Matt Damon at the end was quit a suprise.
