McConaughey has spoken about being a father in the past. “Sometimes loving your kids means giving them just what they want,” he told Town & Country last year. “Other times it means tough love. Affluent people can give their kids everything they want, but they’re not usually going to get what they need.”

“Loving a child is a lot harder if you really give a damn,” McConaughey explained. “‘No’ takes a lot more energy. It’s a lot easier to say ‘yes.’”

McConaughey made headlines recently when he announced in November that he would not be running for Texas governor. In a three minute Instagram videoMcConaughey explained that political office was a “path that I’m choosing not to take at this moment,” and that he had “been considering a run for the governor of Texas” and “listening and been learning, been measuring and studying Texas politics and American politics.”

“As a simple kid born in the little town of Uvalde, Texas, it never occurred to me that I would one day be considered for political leadership,” McConaughey continued. “It’s a humbling and inspiring path to ponder. It is also a path that I’m choosing not to take at this moment.”
