Matthew McConaughey has spoken passionately about the need for gun reform stateside as he joined the White House press briefing on Tuesday.
The actor urged politicians on both sides to act after the tragic shooting of students in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas, which saw 19 elementary students and two teachers killed.
He told the room that the best way to honour the lives of those who died in the tragedy was to make a difference to the country's safety.
