Matthew McConaughey thinks it's time Hollywood 'embraces' Donald Trump

Matthew McConaughey has a message for Hollywood (that we have a feeling they will probably ignore).

While sitting down with the actor to talk about his new film Gold, an interviewer from ChannelFI said "Every single American actor or arty type who comes over to London dumps on Trump," and asked if it was time for Hollywood and America's cultural elite to give "this guy a break.”

"Well, they don't have a choice now, he's our president," McConaughey replied.

"And it's very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration and time that we've ever had. At the same time, it's time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact, and be constructive with him over the next four years," he continued in the interview now removed from YouTube. "So, even those who most strongly may disagree with his principles or things he's said and done - which is another thing, we'll see what he does compared to what he had said - no matter how much you even disagreed along the way, it's time to think about how constructive can you be. Because he's our president for the next four years. At least."

Though it's unclear when the interview was actually recorded, it aired Sunday morning in Britain, two days after Trump signed the executive order for his highly problematic Muslim ban.

Is now the time to start listening to Matthew McConaughey? We don't know.
