Actor Matthew McConaughey, who has publicly considered running for governor of Texas, told attendees at San Francisco's Dreamforce conference that it may be inevitable he runs for president sometime in the future.
Dreamforce is corporate tech giant Salesforce's annual convention featuring a slew of celebrity speakers and performers. McConaughey spoke to Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff, a close friend, about his activism.
When Benioff asked McConaughey about the 2024 presidential election, the actor did not make any definitive statements on that cycle specifically, but teased his presidential aspirations more broadly.
"Yeah I'll consider it in the future, I'd be arrogant not to, absolutely I would consider it," McConaughey said. "If I got into any form of politics I'd be remiss not to also go in as an artist and a storyteller; help put a narrative together. You're the CEO of a state and a nation, a lot of compartmentalization and choices to be made. They scare me but I'm not afraid of 'em."
He said of running for president, "If that happened to me I would be pulled into it. If I'm living right, which I'm trying to, we get pulled into things ... it's inevitable. I didn't choose it, it chose me."

So humble.
Please. Just go away, you’re not even a good actor.
Marc Benioff the communist oppressor who started this whole corporatism is activism is his friend?!
HARD PASS.
The hollywood stars are delusional - legends in their own mind.
Guess when you pay people around you to tell you how smart and great you are, this is what happens.
Does he actually have real positions on serious issues, or is he all about “unity” and happy thoughts?
Didn’t know he was a comedian.
LOL!
You are ... arrogant.
He wouldn’t even run for Governor of Texas this year.
President of the US is just another ‘role’, to be played before an adoring ‘audience’?
Slack-jawed idiot.
I hope if he ever closes that mouth, he catches a fly.
LOL! Go ahead and try.
Your no Ronald Reagan buddy
Many, if not most, entertainers, athletes and politicians are small people with big heads.
I’ve got a better chance.
No thanks, Matt. Stick to the silver screen.
The Texas version of Gavin Newsom wants to run for president, oh jeez.
Stay in your house smoking weed and making horrible Lincoln commercials.
He likes dreamin’.
He’ll have to run as a dimocrat bc of the number of skeltons in his closet.
Otherwise, he’d be destroyed immediately.
