Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey (51, "Dallas Buyers Club") is currently considering a candidacy for the office of governor of his US home state Texas.
This is a "serious consideration", said the actor on Wednesday (local time) as a guest on the podcast "The Balanced Voice".
He's currently thinking about what to do with the next chapter in his life.
"I think I have a lot to teach and share." McConaughey said he was grateful to be able to guide and teach young people something, for example through his professorship at the University of Texas.
At the end of last year, the actor had already indicated in an interview that he could well imagine switching to politics.
On the "Hugh Hewitt Show", however, he also said that politics in the US is currently "a broken business".
"And if politics redefines its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested in it."
Schwarzenegger was even re-elected as governor

A democrat.
