Matt Damon breaks down the quiet thing Christopher Nolan did at 6am before the hardest scene in The Odyssey, and why any actor alive would thrive under it Matt Damon: "When I had to do the sirens, lashed to the mast, I showed up on the dock that morning... and Chris was still there with Hoyte. Normally they go ahead on the camera boat. But he was waiting for me at six in the morning." Matt Damon: "He said, 'We were thinking we'd just start with you, because that's the emotional backbone of the scene. And we'll shoot till we're happy.' What he'd done was give me an hour-long boat ride to sequester myself and get my mind right." Matt Damon: "'We'll shoot till we're happy', which means till you're happy too. Anybody with a SAG card, given that kind of support... It comes from him really understanding what we do, and creating a space for us to be our best."show more

Matt Damon revealed he left Harvard just two weeks before graduating because he couldn’t pause a movie shoot for his final exams. Amy Poehler: And what did your mom think about you not finishing Harvard? Matt Damon: Uh, well by then, I mean, I was working. They, they were Amy Poehler: But you were really close to finishing! Matt Damon: I was. I was. In fact, I, I, I probably... I probably did five years of classes there because I would go, and then there was one semester, the last semester I left, I was two weeks away from the end of the semester. So I'd done everything, all I had to do was take the finals, but the rule was, at the time at least, you had to take your finals at the exact moment they were offered in Cambridge. And I was like, I'm number five on the call sheet, you think I'm going to shut a movie down like for three hours, four different times? Like, I just had to eat the semester.

Matt Damon reveals what it feels like to realize a movie is going to flop a month into filming. Matt Damon: "Ultimately, the big decision is saying yes." Ben Affleck: "That's the last point at which you have total control." Matt Damon: "Right. And then you're in, whether it's good or bad. I've been on those movies where I knew a month into a six-month shoot that this is not going to work." Ben Affleck: "What's that like?" Matt Damon: "That is the fucking worst. It's going to be 80 16-hour days in a row, a post-production period that's going to be pretty fraught, and then it's going to come out and we're going to get fucking crushed." Ben Affleck: "And then you're going to have to sell it. You're going to have to walk the fucking plank and sit down with Access like, 'So, saw the movie...'" Matt Damon: "It's really terrible."

Matt Damon opens up about the brutal reality of his sleep schedule, how having kids ruined it, and why filming his latest movie forced him onto the "Odyssey 5" rule where 5 hours felt like a miracle. Amy Poehler: Incredible. What's your sleep situation? Do you sleep? Do you love to sleep? You got teenagers in the house. Matt Damon: Once you had kids, did you ever sleep well again? Amy Poehler: No, it wasn't until they got older. It was a huge stretch where I felt like I didn't sleep for 10 years. Matt Damon: I've been a lighter sleeper. But on this movie, me and the PAs had a joke called "the Odyssey 5", if you could get 5 hours of sleep, you were thrilled. Amy Poehler: That's tough. That's not a lot of sleep. Matt Damon: It wasn't, but it was enough. Though I realized 5 is the cutoff. There were some 4-hour nights, and two nights where I didn't sleep at all. Amy Poehler: Because you were working? Matt Damon: No, I got home overly tired, sat there, missed the sleep window, and started panicking. Amy Poehler: You missed the window and felt like, "Tomorrow I literally have to lift a rock through the mud." Matt Damon: Yeah, like "I have to do sprints tomorrow." Amy Poehler: "Hardest day!" It seemed so hard. Matt Damon: It was hard for everybody, but that's what made it wonderful.

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan's entire "murderer's row" of A-list actors all turned down Odysseus before he got the role Matt Damon: "It's one of the great roles in Western literature, and I had a chance to play it. And Chris normally hires out of the pool of actors that he knows and works with, and had he stayed inside his stable of actors, I mean, the people in my cohort, it's like Christian and Tom Hardy and Leo and Matthew and JD and Rob and Hugh Jackman and Cillian Murphy. It's like a murderer's row of great actors." Matt Damon: "And all of them would have been fantastic." Christopher Nolan: "But they all passed." Matt Damon: "What are the chances that every single one of them would pass? Right? So I'm sitting here going, well, he's about to look outside. I better take this because outside you've got, jeez, you've got Brolin and Benicio and Sean Penn. I'm screwed. So I got to, I'm just going to jump on this thing. So anyway, it came at the perfect time in my life, and it did require kind of a comprehensive... I think for all of us it was a 24-hour a day job."

Tom Holland says Matt Damon stayed in tears for hours between takes on a nine minute Odyssey scene "Something I saw you do, when you did your big scene with Anne towards the end of the movie, it's like a nine minute scene" "You're lying there in tears, they cut, it takes five minutes to reload the camera, and you stayed in it the whole time, you were in that state for hours because of the nature of the way we had to shoot the stuff" "I didn't have to be there that day, but I remember being like, I can't leave, this is unprecedented stuff that's happening right now. And credit to Anne too, she did the same" "For me, as a young actor, to see two guys really at the top of their game operating like that, and it's not easy circumstances to be working with that camera"

Tom Holland says Matt Damon stayed in tears for hours between takes on a nine minute Odyssey scene "Something I saw you do, when you did your big scene with Anne towards the end of the movie, it's like a nine minute scene" "You're lying there in tears, they cut, it takes five minutes to reload the camera, and you stayed in it the whole time, you were in that state for hours because of the nature of the way we had to shoot the stuff" "I didn't have to be there that day, but I remember being like, I can't leave, this is unprecedented stuff that's happening right now. And credit to Anne too, she did the same" "For me, as a young actor, to see two guys really at the top of their game operating like that, and it's not easy circumstances to be working with that camera"
