Matthew McConaughey has always had a southern drawl that just seems to bring a little calm to any storm. He is the epitome of chill, and seeing as how we all now have to quarantine-and-chill in these uncertain times amid the COVID-19 global pandemic, our boy McConaughey has taken to Twitter to post an uplifting speech about unity, togetherness, and banding together against division.“In these crazy times that we're in with the coronavirus, let's take care of ourselves, and each other," he said. Sounds like he’s been watching a bit of Jerry Springer’s backlog, as that was his famous catchphrase back in the day, but oddly enough, it seems to sound better coming from our How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days star. He goes on to say that we need to quell whatever divisions there are between us, because we are all in this fight together: “We have an enemy in coronavirus that is faceless, that is raceless, sexless, nondenominational, and bipartisan. And it’s an enemy that we all agree we wanna beat.” Alright alright alright.[video_embed id='1924238']RELATED: Jennifer Aniston shares message of gratitude for hospital staff on Instagram[/video_embed]“There is a green light on the other end of this red light that we’re in right now,” he said from what looked like self-isolation at his home. “And I believe that green light is going to be built on the values that we can enact right now. Values of fairness, kindness, accountability, resilience, respect, courage . . . if we practice those things right now . . . this virus might be the thing that brings us all together and unifies us . . . . Let’s turn that red light into a green light.”McConnaughey has a history of giving inspirational speeches, most recently during his appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon where he talked about “keeping Austin Austin.” But as one Twitter user pointed out, this is exactly why the University of Texas football team brings the Dazed and Confused star in to give pregame motivational speeches. We are hooked on every word over here!McConnaughey’s Instagram has been getting rather political these days (he calls himself a Minister of Culture on there), making us wonder if he might be thinking of a future in politics. We’d vote for him for the sole reason of hearing his soothing voice on the television every night.[video_embed id='1924819']RELATED: How to combat anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic[/video_embed]
