		</div><p>Actor Matthew McConaughey has said he is not running for Texas governor after months of publicly flirting with the idea of becoming the latest celebrity candidate.</p>
<p>The Academy Award winner said in a video posted on Sunday night that political leadership was not a route he was choosing to take “at this moment”.</p>
<p>The 52-year-old said he would instead focus on supporting businesses and foundations that create pathways for others to succeed.</p>
<p>The Texas governor’s race is already shaping up to be one of the nation’s highest-profile contests in 2022.</p>
<p>Republican Governor Greg Abbott is seeking a third term and Democrat Beto O’Rourke, coming off failed bids for the US Senate and president, has announced he will enter the race.</p>
<p>Mr McConaughey had never said what party — if any — he would run under while acknowledging that he was mulling a run for governor in his home state.</p>
<p>The star of films Dazed and Confused and Dallas Buyers Club had also shied away from going into policy specifics and positions on contentious issues in Texas.</p>
<p>“Politicians? The good ones can help us to get to where we need to go, yeah,” Mr McConaughey said in the video posted to Twitter.</p>
<p>“But let’s be clear, they can’t do anything for us unless we choose to do for ourselves.”</p>
<p>In California, former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner ran for governor this year in a failed Republican-led recall effort against Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom but gained little momentum.</p>
