AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Actor Matthew McConaughey brought an end to months of speculation Sunday night, saying he won't be running in the Texas gubernatorial race in 2022.

McConaughey, in a roughly three minute video posted to his Twitter account, said he was honored to be considered for "political leadership."

"It's a humbling and inspiring path to ponder," McConaughey said. "It is also a path that I'm choosing not to take at this moment."

McConaughey says he will instead support his organizations and foundations that help people succeed.

The state filing deadline for the 2022 election cycle is Dec. 13.
