Why do idiots like you act like celebrities getting involved in politics is something new? So I guess it was OK when Charlton Heston became the head of the fucking NRA, right? And that was long after he was a part of the civil rights movement.
I guess it was OK when a FOREIGN-born actor became governor of a state he couldn't even pronounce and the same fuckers who scream about "celebrities," wanted to change the god damned constitution so Arnold could run. And Clint "talks to empty chairs" Eastwood became a mayor and Sonny Bono became a congressman. And the stupidest fucking clown celebrity became president.
Gee, what do they all have in common besides being celebrities? What party did they all represent?

R41 McConaughey wrote a book in 2020 which stayed on the NYTimes bestseller list forever.
"Matthew McConaughey's memoir Greenlights topped Amazon's best sellers list this week (July 2021) and has remained on the best-seller lists since its October 2020 release—outlasting other recent high-profile memoirs—highlighting the actor's enduring popularity as he weighs a potential run for Texas governor." It's written in the same quirky style as his speech. Definitely his own work.

Amy Klobuchar was on Chris Hayes. She and a couple of other Democratic Senators and several Republican Senators had dinner with McConaughey and his wife last night. She said he was a useful voice because he maintains a centrist, non-partisan voice and could get both sides talking without falling back on attacking each other as usually happens.
I think McConaughey is one of those mythical "independents" both Dems and GOP are desperate to court.

Other countries such as Australia weren't burdened with such an archaic out-of-date law and were able to do something to get automatic weapons taken care of.
