“True Detective” actor Matthew McConaughey thinks it’s time Hollywood embraces Donald Trump. After all, he is the President of the United States for the next four years.

In an interview with ChannelFi, the 47-year-old actor was asked by the interviewer about Trump. “Every single American actor or arty type who comes over to London dumps on Trump. You all completely hate him. Do you think it’s time that maybe Hollywood and the cultural elite of America gave this guy a break?”

The Oscar winner replied, “Well, they don’t have a choice now. He’s our President. And it’s very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time that we’ve ever had. At the same time, it’s time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact, and be constructive with him over the next four years.”

1. STFU, Matthew.

That is all.

[okieinpain]

33. lol n/t.

[SticksnStones]

2. That's some deep thinking there, awright awright.

Nuanced n shit.

[DURHAM D]

3. I have never liked him.

Can't explain it... just can't stand him.

[coco22]

40. Same here..

I have always said what is the big deal? Yes.I have seen some of his movies. I change the channel everytme one of those damn car commercials come on. He must be in some type of bubble.

[el_bryanto]

48. I thought he was pretty weak early on

But he's really turned it around the last few years. He's still capable of doing terrible work, but he's done a number of movies and, well, True Detective, that I thought were really good.

But I don't get really see any value in political opinions from celebrities for the most part - if they make a good point that's nice, but they really aren't any smarter than the rest of us.

I give him a break on this. I get what he's saying - even though it glances over how he got there and normalizes him - but I've always thought McConaughey seems like a pretty cool guy to hang out with.

The Lincoln commercials - I have no idea what's going on there.

[heaven05]

14. yeah, you do that

I get what he's saying also and the fuhrer can never feel respect from any decent american.These type of ameriKKKans are a danger to humanity and I suspect mentally ill. The Lincoln commercials...money is what's going on there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

21. "The Lincoln commercials - I have no idea what's going on there."

Me either.

I watched my VHS tape of "Dazed and Confused" last week. Great soundtrack. Fashions too.

"Party at the moon tower."

[Mr. Ected]

36. He's the "Lincoln Lawyer"

Movie versions based on the Michael Connelly novels. I think that may be the connection.

[PA Democrat]

5. Mr. McConaughey, please do not feed the wild animals.

[Botany]

6. It is time for everybody to boycott all of McConaughey's movies and products he endorses.

McConaughey's "Drive a Lincoln and you can be cool like me" spot has made
me promise myself to never ever buy one of those cars.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. dipshit

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

8. And now I have to add another actor to the list of whose movies I will NEVER watch again

I used to like him too.

[Deb]

9. Perhaps he could share some manscaping tips w/trump

Go on, show him some Hollywood love, Matthew

[randome]

10. I got your embrace right here, asshole.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Where do uncaptured mouse clicks go?[/center][/font][hr]

[heaven05]

11. another high profile

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't be watching his his movies now, either. All who betray humanity are put on a no watch list in this house.

[KittyWampus]

12. Who? Never heard of him.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, "...cultural elite...." winger hate memes

[apcalc]

15. Ummmmmm.....NO!

[Takket]

16. Fuck that noise

It is time to resist with our every ounce of strength to minimize the damage this fool is already causing

[HughBeaumont]

17. Oh COME on, Wooderson . . . .

If much of the entertainment industry (many of whom likely have hobnobbed with him at some point) is against this guy, shouldn't that be kind of a neon sign?

If dormant activism awakened and became mainstream again, shouldn't that be kind of a neon sign?

[GusBob]

18. What is the date of the comments?

"Cuz he sounds a complete fool now

[ck4829]

19. Well, Muslim Americans are your fellow citizens

Well, the children of immigrants who grow up here from the time they were in diapers and only know the language here are Americans and well, it is cruel and unusual to send them to a community where they have no connections, in a country they know nothing about, and that speaks a language they do not know.

Well, the men, women, and children who are fleeing from Daesh are refugees and sending them back to Daesh is the same as gift-wrapping human sacrifices to the group.

Well, transgender people exist and they aren't abnormal or dangerous.

This is also a fact... and not an alternative fact.

[MineralMan]

20. You embrace him, Matthew.

I wouldn't trust myself to get that close to him.

[dawg]

22. Sounds like some of that bullshit he says inside the Lincoln.

[mvd]

23. I expected better from him than a Britney Spears moment

Fortunately, I am sure that plenty of people, celebs included, won't follow his lead. I certainly will not.

[milestogo]

24. A great actor and a total idiot.

[hatrack]

25. Oh, piss off . ..

Go drive around in black-and-white world looking cool until you find your brain.

Get back to us then, m'kay?

[spanone]

26. no. it's not time. it will never be time. he is only president to those who voted for him.

he's their president.

[muntrv]

27. Matthew, I'll embrace Twittler the same way John Voight embraced Obama.

[bravenak]

28. He just lost all his cool points

[lillypaddle]

29. Fuck him!

Resist!

[Aristus]

30. Not surprising from a guy who has more abs than brains.

Try to read something every once in a while, Matthew; you know, in between sets of crunches...

[global1]

31. "Goright, Goright, Goright".....nt

[Bettie]

32. Easy for him to say

as a rich, white guy.

[gopiscrap]

34. Both of them can go fuck themselves!!!

[Tikki]

35. Matthew, it was heil hitler, not hug hitler.

dofus....


Tikki

[Demsrule86]

37. Stick to acting...

It is easy for rich guys like...but as the mother of a gay daughter...I say fight Trump on everything...oh and where was your advice to the GOP when they thwarted everything Obama tried to do? Give the GOP nothing...and Trump is illegitimate.

[montanacowboy]

38. Doesn't he have an immigrant wife?

Boy what stupid still is in Texas

Dumb fucking asshole

[geek tragedy]

39. FDT nt

[jeffreyi]

41. Nope.

[logosoco]

42. Sounds like Matthew is embracing his role as

the Man in Black (from Stephen King's Dark Tower series).


edited to add: this does not mean I can't enjoy the mans work! I do not do the right wing dance of having a fit when a celebrity says things contrary to what I think!

[Blue Idaho]

43. Dead actor walking...

So long sucker...

[SamKnause]

44. Fuck that noise.

You can embrace him all you want.

I despise him.

[JHB]

45. Well, that's an elaborate way to announce you don't pay attention to public affairs...

...but hey, Matt, you go with that. All. By. Yourself.

[ismnotwasm]

46. I don't have to give bigotry a chance

[JHB]

47. He also thinks Mussolini is a seafood & pasta dish.

It's a fact! Possibly an alternative fact, but definitely a fact.
