Since the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey dropped, a lot of you folks on this app have gotten real cozy suggesting Matt Damon isn’t a good actor. An absurd idea on its face. If someone approached me and suggested Damon is overrated, I’d laugh in their face.

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."
