Matthew McConaughey – Texas

Matthew McConaughey had already sold most, if not all, of his homes in the Hollywood area by the year 2014. Coincidentally, it was that year that he won an Oscar for his role in The Dallas Buyers Club, which may have been a sign of things to come.

In 2015, he joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin after years of attending sporting events for the school. McConaughey has even become such a Texas icon at this point, that there were even rumors that he may run for governor of Texas in 2022, but the actor dismissed those.
