"Let's unite, be responsible for ourselves," McConaughey said. "Today's containment is gonna bring tomorrow's congregation...Stay home, hook 'em and just keep livin'."
In classic McConaughey fashion, he also shared how to make homemade face masks out of a bandana, a coffee filter and rubber bands.
The Oscar-winning actor and his family also hosted a virtual bingo night for residents of The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living in Round Rock, Texas.
