Matt Damon revealed that some of the most talked-about shots of his muscular transformation in The Odyssey were made possible by a female stunt performer with “the greatest arms I’ve ever seen”.
Damon, 55, plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s latest film, an adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic, which follows the hero’s long journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War as he battles monsters, gods and mythical foes while his wife Penelope fends off suitors and his son Telemachus searches for him.
