Matt Damon jokes that he got the lead in “The Odyssey” because Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Matthew McConaughey, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Cillian Murphy and Hugh Jackman all passed

    1. I just enjoy listening to Matt Damon speak. Dude seems very grounded for a mega-star like he is.

      i’ve seen so much discourse about lupita nyong’o being helen of troy but no ones talking about how odysseus is being played by donny from eurotrip who hails from cambridge, massachusetts smh

      I will absolutely believe with my whole heart that Robert Pattinson turned down Odysseus to play Antinous

    4. I really like Matt Damon movies. He’s in “The Martian” which I never get sick of watching and the best movie ever “interstellar”

      I can’t wait to see this movie.

      Such a huge crush on Matt forever! I’m so glad to see him interviewing again. Have y’all seen the videos he’s done about adopting dogs? Too cute.

      Listening to him answer makes me feel like he’s a patient papa to his babies.

    7. I wonder if it was a combination of time commitment and the physicality that led to him getting the role. We may never know.

      If John David Washington was starring in this movie, chuds would have self immolated from rage.

      That would have been amazing to laugh at.

      All jokes aside, Matt Damon really is a great actor and seems like a great guy as well.
