Matthew McConaughey has slammed anti-maskers as he considers running for governor of Texas.
In a recent interview on The Carl Watson Show, the Oscar-winning actor said he can’t believe people are ‘scared of this little cotton thing’.
He told Watson: “And I’m not believing that you really feel that takes away your identity and your freedom. This is a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom.

“Let’s all take one for the team here. And we all like to say we want to take one for the team, we like to say oh, the value of a human life is the epitome … no it’s not. We won’t admit it.”
The 51-year-old then discussed becoming governor, remarking that he wouldn’t use ‘band-aids’ to solve problems.
McConaughey explained: “I’m not interested in going and putting a bunch of band-aids on that are gonna be ripped off as soon as I’m out.
“I’m interested in building something that can last and I’m measuring what category that is, and I don’t know if that’s politics.
“I trust my core beliefs enough and my values enough to know, to feel comfortable to listen to an opposing one.
“We try to teach our kids delayed gratification, but we don’t like to think about further than tomorrow — we need immediate results.”
