Matthew McConaughey Gives Surprising Advise On How To Handle The Election

Celebrity A-lister Matthew McConaughey expressed his beliefs about the 2020 presidential election while promoting his new book “Greenlights” on “Fox & Friends.”

The 50-year-old Hollywood star said that people should “embrace” the results no matter which way the pendulum swings.

McConaughey spoke about his motto: “When faced with the inevitable, get relative,” and applied that to the race between President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden saying, “It’s not inevitable who’s going to win. After that happens, whether it’s an incumbent or whether it’s Biden, after it happens is when it’s time to get constructive and not be in denial.”

The actor advised fans not to get too caught up in thinking, “Oh, I can’t believe this happened” and focus more on the reality of the results.

“It’s time to get constructive and not deny the fact of whatever’s happened and embrace the situation,” McConaughey said of the future president.

“Whoever is going to be commander in chief and president of the United States of America, that’s not something, hopefully, that we’re going to deny or be able to argue,” he added. “I hope it’s a clean election. Whichever way it goes I hope it’s clean and that there’s no debate.”

McConaughey made similar comments about embracing the president back in 2017 during an interview with BBC.

While appearing on “Fox & Friends,” he said that while some people in Hollywood didn’t agree with him, he still received positive reactions.

“People that know me understand what I was talking about,” said the actor.

He also noted the divisiveness of the country and how such topics as the coronavirus pandemic have been politicized.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do as a country,” McConaughey said and called himself “aggressively centric” declaring that when it comes to most issues, “I’ll meet you in the middle.”

“We’ve got to come together whatever happens in this election right now. We can do better as individuals and as people, as a community, as Americans,” he said. “We can do better.”

As for who has McConaughey’s vote we may never know. When questioned about he would only say, “Yeah, I’ve thought about it and I’m keeping that to myself.”
