Actor Matthew McConaughey has opened up on the recent noise around his potential foray into United States politics, clarifying recent comments in an address to fans.
McConaughey's political ambitions have caused excitement in liberal circles in the US, particularly among those appalled at Texas governor Greg Abbott, who signed a highly restrictive law banning most abortions.
But McConaughey, hailing from a small town in deep Texas and raised in a religious family, does not seem any more enamoured with the Democrats than Republicans such as Abbott.
The Oscar-winner has never publicly declared whether he would have run as a Republican, Democrat or independent. Either way, it may still be a while before fans can cast a vote his way.
Speaking to fans directly from his Instagram account, the Hollywood star hosed down rumours he'd be charging into politics.
