Matthew McConaughey might still be entertaining a run for office.

The Texas-born movie star said he was carefully considering if he wanted to step into politics while talking about new measures to address school safety during an appearance on ABCs This Week on Sunday.

Asked if he could see himself running for elected office, he told host Jonathan Karl, Theres a great question that Im still answering.

McConaughey explained why he was more comfortable working outside the system, offering Karl more details about his Greenlights Grant Initiative.

The program, which he and his wife Camila Alves launched earlier this month, aims to connect communities to government grant money to prevent school violence and support students mental health.

As of right now, to be a private citizen with my wife and to come up with an idea like the Greenlights Grant Initiative, he said.

To work with the government publicly to help them, not doing the job for them, helping them pull off what they set out to do in the first place, the conservative-leaning star went on. There is an argument that thats more useful, what Im doing right now, in a small way.
