Matthew McConaughey tells Hollywood to 'embrace' Trump

  • 02/02/2017

Actor Matthew McConaughey has told Hollywood and the cultural elite that it's time to "embrace" Donald Trump.

The entertainment industry has gone into overdrive lately, protesting and giving speeches over their outrage at the controversial President

However, in an interview with ChannelFi, McConaughey explained his views and why media stars should calm down.

"So, every single American actor or artsy type who comes over to London dumps on Trump. You all completely hate him. Do you think it's time maybe Hollywood and the culture elite in America gave this guy a break?" the interviewer asked.

"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," McConaughey said.

"At the same time, it's time for us to embrace and shake hands with this fact. And be constructive with him over the next four years."

He followed this by calling for Hollywood to wait and see how Trump would govern, and how they could work with him.

"So anyone, even those who may strongly disagree with his principles or things he's said and done - which is another thing, we'll see what he does compares to what he has said - no matter how much you even disagreed along the way, it's time to think about how constructive can you be," he said.

"Cause he's our president for the next four years, at least, the President of the United States."
