Matthew McConaughey delivered an impassioned speech to America on Independence Day via Twitter as America celebrated Independence Day on 4 July.
The Oscar-winning actor shared his wishes for the US in the video posted to Twitter, as he called on people to put aside their individual needs to support “our collective responsibilities”.
In his statement, he added: “As we celebrate our independence today, as we celebrate our birth as a nation, the day that kick-started a revolution to gain our sovereignty, let’s admit that this last year, this trip around the sun, was another head-scratcher.”
McConaughey said that America’s comparatively young status should serve as its driving force to keep moving forward and improving.
He also said, “We got to keep learning, we got to keep maturing, we gotta keep striving, we gotta keep climbing, we gotta keep building,” he said.
McConaughey’s speech also leads to further gossip as he will choose for the Governor of Texas.
In an interview on the YouTube talk show The Carlos Watson Show, McConaughey said: “I’m not interested in going and putting a bunch of Band-Aids on that are gonna be ripped off as soon as I’m out. I’m interested in building something that can last, and I’m measuring what category that is. I don’t know if that’s politics.”
